Oh my God finally an attorney with a brain. Expensive yes but worth it. Why are divorces so…read moreexpensive? Because they are worth it that's why. After two amazingly crappy attorneys (not just my opinion there are other reviews to attest to this), Geoffrey got it done. Took a while because my idiot ex-husband Julian kept dragging it out, but the case was resolved to my advantage. It did not help that the other two incompetent attorneys who didn't last very long on my case did not work out. Sometimes you just have to find the right fit. not sure how the first two attorneys Jennifer and Keith stay in business. Ms. rude and mr. stupid. So thanks Geoffrey, for saving the day.

Great Estate Planning Support!!!…read more I moved from out of state and had to have all of my estate planning documents updated per California law. Daniel Hollingsworth came highly recommended from friends, and I was able to quickly pass him my expired estate/trust documents to 1) make them CA-compliant and 2) also insert my own needed updates to reflect my current estate situation. After he had a chance to review my expired estate plan, I met with Daniel; he explained the differences between my previous state's laws and CA law, the changes he recommended and the rationale for each change. I found his opinions to be very insightful and appreciated the examples and scenarios he gave me to consider for each change. Daniel really put me at choice--and I felt I really understood my choices. I appreciated his explanations and the professionalism he exhibited in dealing with some touchy/feely family considerations too. Daniel and his staff quickly turned around my estate plan, and then he met with me and my young adult daughter so that I could sign off the final documents. He made the sign off quick for me, and yet very understandable for my daughter, who is one of my trustees. He also offered to do the same walk-through of documents for my adult son (also a trustee, but unavailable that day)--and it was so helpful to have everyone feel competent and confident in executing the estate plan together. I recommend Daniel for anyone who needs an estate plan/trust.  It was a night/day difference between his support and my previous experience out-of-state--and motivated me to write this recommendation. In fact, I'm referring my brother to him, as he is in the same process and I know Daniel is someone he can trust and depend on. Laura -- Pacific Grove

Daniel was really helpful and responded in a timely manner. Thanks again for your assistance.read more

5-Star Review: A Lifesaver During My Darkest Days - Still Grateful 31 Years Later…read moreThirty-one years ago, when my husband passed away, I was overwhelmed with grief and navigating the complexities of loss as part of a widows' support group. That's where I first met Yvonne Ascher, who graciously joined our group to guide us through the challenges ahead. Her empathy and expertise were immediately evident--she was already deeply involved in community service, paying it forward before we even knew what "paying it forward" meant, especially to help women who were struggling through very long and difficult periods. Living locally while my attorneys were based in Los Angeles, I was in no emotional state to travel during that intense time of grief. I was so impressed by her knowledge and compassion that I reached out to her right away and connected her with my LA legal team. She handled everything for me right here, with my attorneys providing direction on the background of the trust. My attorneys were more than impressed with her--they were equally blown away by her professionalism and efficiency. Even 31 years later, she is still my estate attorney, and anyone who uses her services can rest assured that what they want relating to their estate will be carried out expertly and efficiently. I simply can't say enough good things about her - she made an impossible situation manageable and treated me with such kindness. Even after all these years, I still consider her one of the absolute best in her field. No one comes close. If you're facing similar circumstances, she's the person you want on your side.

I was initially impressed by the quality of the background educational material posted on the website regarding estate planning techniques. When we met Kyle, he was quite personable, and it was evident that he was not only very knowledgeable, but could also make complicated legal concepts easy to understand. As we worked through all the choices, I really appreciated Kyle's patience in answering our detailed questions. All of the office staff, including Sara Macfarlane and Marilyn Beans, are friendly and very competent. I would not hesitate to recommend Krasa Law to my friends and family.

This firm might as well change their specialty to that of all the ambulance chasing injury…read moreattorneys you see on the TV commercials. I paid one of their staff members, Leslie Finnegan $3000 to draw up a simple trust to make sure my loved ones got the distribution I wanted to give them, A little later some circumstances had changed and I called Finnegan to ask about making some changes, I was happy of course to pay for any updates, but I didnt even get the chance to ask about them. As soon as I asked for a schedule of potential fees Finnegan dropped me as a client. Apparently she wanted to bill me for outlining any potential fees that might occur. I found it a bit ludicrous having to be billed to explain what my billing would be, I realize people don't go to law school with the intent to eventually actually help people, but I find this practice to be a bit excessive. When she dropped me as a client I inquired as to what the justification was. She ranted on quite vehemently about how her time was worth $550 an hour, and not waste her time with questions, it is clear what her priorities are. It is certainly not helping a senior citizen family man take care of his loved ones. I would not recommend Leslie Finnegan or the firm she works for even if you put a gun to my head.
