When searching for an attorney to help my nephew get his record cleared after spending nearly a…read moreyear incarcerated and over 10 years as a registered felon, we used the AVVO website and Google to find attorneys with the highest ratings. We spent about a month searching and interviewing candidate attorneys, and in the end Mr. Coniglio came out at the top for my newphew's particular scenario. We just received the news that the motions that Mr. Coniglio and his team presented to the court were granted. He was extremely professional, efficient and cost effective and he operates with the utmost integrity. Additionally, as a retired software exec who has led numerous tech companies, I am very particular when it comes to detailed / technical writing, and I knew we were in good hands when I didn't have even a single edit suggestion for the motions that Mr. Coniglio and team drafted (a rarity for me). I highly recommend John Coniglio and his team.

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

Mr. Pernik was a great listener and very pleasant. Made us feel like we were definitely hiring the right person.

The Law Office of William Pernick works quickly to resolve client concerns and questions. We feel lucky to have them on our side.

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 given a large binder which was tabbed, and very easy to find anything I want to look up, quickly. This binder, which left "no stone unturned," reflects John's organization and attention to my needs. John has met with me many times after my Trust was written. He not once charged me for these questions nor his time. Holly is always there to answer any questions that I have had in the past year, through phone conversations or e-mails. There are no charges for these either. What really impressed me, was John's sensitivity to my finances, and his kindness in addressing them with me. I have so much faith in John, that I have had him written onto my Trust, to help my executor make decisions when I can no longer do that. I feel very protected. I have referred many friends to John. BRAVO to John and his team!
