We called to this office today and the customer service was the worst I have ever encountered my whole life. Ashley was extremely unprofessional and rude with the way she spoke to me. She did not have any customer service skills. She even hung up on me. I DO NOT recommend using this business for any reason. They're plenty of attorneys out there. Go somewhere else that will treat their clients with some respect and dignity. read more

My wife and I spent time with Mr. Brown a couple of years ago doing a quit claim deed which was accomplished perfectly. Recently, we returned to see about updating our trust. As it turned after spending 15minute with Mr. Brown he explained the trust didn't require an update. He did not charge for his time and made very relevant inputs in increasing our knowledge and understanding of how trusts work. read more

We first met Attorney Michael Brown in 2015, when he prepared a living trust for a family member. Most recently, Michael prepared our living trust, and we were very satisfied. A telephone call to Michael started the process. After exchanging a few emails with necessary information, Michael sent a draft of the living trust to us to review. The drafts were on point. A couple of weeks later, we met him at his office in Diamond Bar and completed the process. Michael handled everything quickly and professionally. I highly recommend Michael for living trust matters. read more

My wife and I both have experience as successor trustees managing Living Trusts for each of our deceased parents, at different times. Being familiar with the administration aspect, we understand the importance of having a thoughtful, well drafted trust document. Not all documents are created equal, I assure you. We have seen good, and we have seen not so desirable. One of the principal reasons for creating and funding a Living Trust is so that we can pass our assets to our loved ones, without the need for expensive and time consuming probate. A well-crafted trust document will help ensure this goal is met. With this in mind, we did some research and then called Michael W Brown, Atty for an appointment to meet and discuss his services. Michael met with us to determine our needs and answer any questions we had about the process, and was totally up front with his fees, which we consider reasonable and fair. After meeting with Michael, we decided to retain him to create our Living Trust and associated documents for us. In hindsight, I can say that we made a great choice by choosing to work with Michael Brown. Based on our initial conversation, Michael prepared draft documents for us to review. We exchanged a few emails to answer some questions and make some changes. At one point, I had so many questions that in the interest of time I felt a face-to-face meeting would be more beneficial for us. We received a quick appointment with Michael and spent some time with him reviewing our many questions and considerations. We never felt rushed, and Michael answered every question we bought up, and also made several recommendations that we hadn't even considered. We tweaked the documents several times to fine tune them to our specific needs and desires, and his staff was very efficient a getting the updated drafts for us to review. We never felt rushed, or like we were wearing out our welcome. Michael charges for the work he does, not for answering questions related to the documents or process. He is very patient, and has a great sense of humor as well. Our process has been completed and we are fully funded. I can't thank Michael enough for the time, advice and service he gave us. If you are looking for a qualified, experienced attorney to draft your Living Trust and associated documents, give Michael a call at (909) 860-1986. He is located in Diamond Bar, CA. You will have a great experience! read more

This office was not interested in our business nor were they considerate of our time. We scheduled an appointment to discuss setting up a will and trust. We arrived at our appointment 10 minutes early and the receptionists informed us that Mr. Genovese was in a meeting and would see us shortly. After 20 minutes (10 minutes after our appointment), we were still waiting and no one in the office bothered to provide an update. When I asked if he was still in a meeting the receptionist replied, "he's in a final signing and sometimes they run long" and never bothered to check to see how much longer it would be or provide any other information. About 5 minutes later someone came out to tell us it would be about 5 more minutes. Well, that 5 minutes blew by and still no one provided any update. In my opinion this is unprofessional and poor communication. To be fair, we never got the opportunity to discuss our legal affairs with any one at this office so I can't provide a review on any service. However, first impressions are important and often an indication on what to expect. read more

Our first hand experience in September 2017 with an estate lawyer that ended in disaster led us to be more careful in selecting one to review and do a few amendments to our existing Living Trust set up in 2003. Amendments include replacing a deceased successor trustee, replacing a charitable organization to receive our Estate's 10%, asset distribution at death of a trustor, and create a Spendthrift Trust. A couple more estate lawyers were consulted without success, and finally ended the search with Michael W. Brown, Inc. that our financial advisor CSI Rick Miller of Arcadia, CA, highly recommended. Offhand in our initial consultation, we found Atty. Brown very personable and kind. After detailing what we wanted and his cursory review of our Living Trust, he concluded that what we actually need is a Restatement of Trust that effectively replaces the original. Henceforth, another meeting was scheduled a week and half later. In our subsequent meeting on December 18, this year, both my wife and I were delighted to execute (1) Restated Living Trust, (2) Last Will & Testaments, (3) Springing Durable Power of Attorneys, and (4) Advanced Health Care Directives. And to top that, Atty. Brown's fee was very reasonable, and was not at all in a hurry and encouraged us to ask questions relative to all the documents. With our experience with Atty. Brown, we highly recommend him for Estate Planning and related activities. read more

Mike is great. He does not take advantage clients. I am so happy that he was recommended to me. He has a lot of patience.

Mike was very knowledgable, professional, and answered all my questions in person and through email. He gave me ideas for my trust and was very fast. Like, for my grandchildren, and future grandchildren! He also is a notary. He sent me a draft and then I had more questions and to add things...then the final trust was ready within two weeks, which I got a sample copy of through email. All within two weeks. He was very reasonable, also! As I left, I told him I was so lucky to have found him. He also said he would answer any questions I may have in the future. How terrific is that? I would highly recommend Mike to do your trust. I am a very happy client. I trust him totally! read more

Got myself in a real jam because several years ago I used Legal Zoom to set up a trust. That was a major mistake, a foolish mistake, because in the end I set up a trust that years later came around to bite me in the butt. A trust attorney was recommended to help me deal with the various issues, but nothing happened. No papers were filed, nothing was signed: for 2 or 3 months the process was stalled. So I decided to change trust attorneys and hired Michael W. Brown. Right away things started moving. We had one initial phone conversation and then everything was done via email. I'd send him questions and comments late at night and he'd have them answered by the next morning. He'd send me drafts of the trust, the POA, etc., and I'd make comments and send it all back. By the next day the corrected materials would be in my email and ready for my review. That, of course, is how it's supposed to be -- but it's not always the reality. When you're already dealing with issues, you want an attorney who gets things done - and that describes Mr. Brown very well. My bottom line is that I'm very pleased with the work Mr. Brown did for me. He's easy to work with, he listens, he communicates, his pricing is very fair, he is very experienced and competent -- you simply will not find a trust attorney who is better no matter how much you pay. If you're looking for a trust attorney, you owe it to yourself to have a consultation with him. Chances are you'll hire him on the spot. read more

Michael is great. Came out to meet my Mom at the hospital and was very friendly and personable. Made things really easy.

I have referred over 50 clients to Michael over the past 20 years. The feedback from my clients has always been extremely positive!
