Estate planning forces you to look at and consider questions about what to do with your assets (and…read moreyourself) once you're incapacitated and/or deceased. It gets more complicated if you've had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and combined/separate assets. Add in estate planning's peculiar vocabulary (e.g., A-B trusts, probate, conservator, durable power of attorney, and a QTIP that doesn't go in the medicine cabinet). Now, add the options and expense levels, estate planning "mills" and online hoo-hah, and it becomes obvious why we all put off estate planning as long as we can. How to sort out, in a logical (and preferably tax smart) way, all the issues? This year, we finally got around to it, using the services of H. Brooks Travis. We're glad it's done, and we're confident that the plan created is best for us, and that it was created for us at a fair price. Brooks took time to listen and understand what we were looking for, excused my various off-topic rants, and designed a plan that addressed our sometimes complex priorities without overcomplicating them. He provided us with "user manuals" with lay information, as well as originals of the necessary legal documents. I wouldn't want to do it again, but if I had to, I'd go back to H. Brooks Travis.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of working with David Martucci from Martucci &…read moreAssociates, a law firm in Orange County, CA. My ex-spouses attorney, David Martucci, not only provided false documents and presented fraudulent false statements under oath in court, but also repeatedly refused to meet and confer with me over 10 times, showed up to court unprepared, and failed to file important trial documents. To make matters even worse, David produced a written transcript of a video and changed the facts from the video to say that I owned 100% of a company that I only owned 1% of despite having personal knowledge and documentation showing my true ownership only being 1%. This was a baseless and misleading representation that caused significant harm a d long term damages to my case. David also presented a Profit & Loss Statement from a company that I was working for and lied to the court saying that it was my company when in fact I am just a W2 employee with zero ownership. His lies have greatly impacted the outcome of my hearing. He has no problem presenting false evidence in court if it benefits his client. I also witnessed David leaving in the same car as my ex-wife after court. Seems a little weird if you ask me. I would caution others to carefully consider their options before retaining this law firm. While I understand that every case is unique, my personal experience left me with a lack of confidence in the legal system. Honesty, competence, professionalism, and a strong commitment to their clients' best interests are critical in the legal system, and I did not feel that these values were upheld with David martucci from Martucci & Associates. To make matters worse, the firm's website looks completely unprofessional, as if it was created by a child.  It is important to note that this review is not intended to harm the reputation of the law office or the individual attorney. Instead, it is meant as a warning to others to thoroughly research their options and choose a legal representative who operates with honesty, competence, professionalism, and who accurately represents the facts in court.

To gauge his reputation, we availed ourselves to his online client reviews and found a consistent pattern of positive feedback. As a result, I scheduled an initial consultation with Michael, and my parents engaged him for his services even before he could finish his presentation.

He explained what is a complex legal process in a very easy to understand way and his method to complete my parents' living trust was smooth and simplified. It was clear from the beginning that Michael is knowledgeable about the law but, what really earned him high marks was how kind and patient he is. Michael is a GREAT attorney who we highly recommend to anyone in need of legal help who desires to connect with a true professional dedicated to his craft and the people he serves!
