Attorney Mr. Edward Terzain have a great website on how caring and helpful he is with his clients. To my surprise I totally believed him. He was taking my case and dropped the ball as he said verbatim. So then he decided he would write a letter of mediation to my brother since he had dropped the ball. He said he would send me a paperwork to sign and my brother would receive it within 4 to 5 days. Again another let down. He never followed through. I share this because people really need help. And when attorneys make false statements and do not help you I have no respect for them and esMr. Edward Terzain. read more

My husband and I were referred to Vanessa at Lagerlof through his office mate at his work. We chose to go with Vanessa based off her excellent reviews and reputation. Vanessa was great to work with throughout our family estate planning process. She answered all my husbands' many questions thoroughly and ensured we were comfortable and well informed through every step. We eventually went back to Vanessa to do my parents estate planning--Vanessa was very kind and patient with my elderly Asian parents! By choosing Vanessa to work with, we can rest assured that we are in good hands in the road ahead and are glad we went with a well established law firm and lawyer to do our estate planning. read more

I was looking for someone to update a 10 year old Trust/Estate Plan document. After reading the comments and recommendations on Next Door SGV, a community social media app, one name stood out. Vanessa Terzian. I gave her a call and found the positive comments and recommendations were well earned. To begin, I liked that Vanessa provided a comprehensive review of my current Trust. Upon completion of my updated document, she provides a review every three years to account for any changes in my life circumstances (something no one else I talked to offered). In addition, I had total access to her to address my concerns and answer any questions. Vanessa and everyone one who works with her treated me with care and respect. If you're looking for someone with extensive experience in all aspects of Trust/Estate Planning matters, I highly recommend Vanessa and her team. read more

Vanessa was recommend by a fellow colleague. Our first conversation put me at ease. She was supportive, and genuinely took the time to listen. In clear and simple terms, she explained Terzian's process, offerings, and was transparent in any financial discussions. What really showed that Terzian was the right team, was their ability to constantly answer my questions without hesitation. It was never about their services or selling, but more on helping me understand the good vs. bad. Once we went to our signing ceremony, it made my family feel comfortable we were in the right hands. They walked us thru each step and make it as painless as possible. In addition, we have the flexibility we need and the responsiveness from their team as we evolve our information/trust, etc. Thank you! read more

My husband and I used Vanessa and her partner Ed to set up all the necessary legal documents after our son was born. We didn't specifically know what we needed, but they were very knowledgeable, helpful, and made the process simple. We also really love the fact that they are a husband and wife team with kids of their own. I think this made us feel like they really related to our concerns. Their office in La Canada is really easy to find and has a relaxed/comfortable feel instead of an intimidating environment like many law firms. We felt like we did the right thing for our family by using them and would definitely recommend them. read more

Hi my name is Luis Medina, This is my second review for this firm, ( First one was in May this year ). I wanted to follow up with a second review because after Vanessa Terzian and her team helped me so much during very difficult times for me almost 2 years ago, now, in the last 7 months, they have continue to oversee my legal situation and not only helped me to organize all of my stuff ( and trust me it was complicated), they also helped me to create a legal plan for the future. Their attention to detail, the genuine caring that they have showed for me is beyond being just a customer, I know they care for my well being in many levels and they are extremely professional at the same time. Again, highly recommended! read more

I've used Vanessa for senior law issues for my dad; for my personal will/trust/POA/etc. I've recommend her to others, and I know they've used her too!

I was in a bind and needed help with a business transaction. I needed an attorney to help me review and revise a purchase contract. I found Terzian Law Partners online and decided to call them and interview them to get a feel. I was transferred to Ed by a very courteous receptionist (I assume). Ed was very friendly and a great listener. He explained everything in lay-mans terms and told me the different options we could take. After speaking to 2 other firms, I felt most comfortable with this firm. Along the entire process, Ed was very understanding of my needs and did everything in his power to protect me while working to get the deal done. He was available most hours of the day, which I really appreciated. At the end, I felt like we got the best outcome for our business. Ed went above and beyond my expectations to handle my case. His rates were very reasonable (for attorneys) as well! That always helps :) I would definitely recommend Terzian Law Partners for your business law needs. read more

Vanessa is a great trust attorney. Caring and considerate. Her staff is first rate.

A previous reviewer described Vanessa as an "intelligent and thoughtful attorney." That is spot on! She and her team were professional, thorough and efficient helping us develop an estate plan and establish a family trust. She fielded our many, many questions patiently. We never felt rushed. Despite meeting with her only a few times, I feel like she is our trusted, family attorney and wouldn't hesitate to call if a legal issue arose. Vanessa was also a valuable resource as I dealt with a difficult parent with dementia. She so clearly described my options for such a challenging, complex and emotional situation. I left her office relieved to have some guidance and definitive actions I could take. (Thank you, Vanessa!) read more

After moving from another state, we needed to rewrite our old wills. I chose Vanessa Terzian based on her positive Yelp reviews and am glad I did.

We had a second/final meeting at her new Pasadena office a few weeks later. We are impressed with her professionalism and her inclusive fee that includes review of her documents every 3 years or so. Highly recommend! read more
