    I wanted to create a comprehensive estate plan and trust. After researching attorneys in the East…read moreBay, I found Stefanie and was impressed by her excellent reviews. From our very first meeting, I understood why. She made what initially felt like a complicated and somewhat overwhelming process remarkably simple. She walked me through everything step by step and helped me think through not only my trust, but my banking and brokerage accounts, health care directive, and all the other details that needed to be addressed. In the end, she provided me with a complete, well-organized binder that gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing my family will have the information and direction they need. What has impressed me just as much is the relationship didn't end when the trust was completed. Four years later, some things in my life had changed, and I contacted Stefanie to review and update my estate plan. She remembered me, knew my documents, and once again made the entire process easy and straightforward. We went through what had changed, she helped me understand what needed to be adjusted, and I walked away feeling completely confident that everything was in order. I trust Stefanie, I believe in her, and I am extremely grateful for the work she has done for me. If you are considering creating or updating a trust, will, health care directive, or simply want to make sure your affairs are properly organized for the people you love, I highly recommend Stefanie West. She combines legal expertise with a very personal, compassionate approach. I would not hesitate to recommend Stefanie to my family and friends.

    After experiencing truly one of the most difficult times of my life, I cannot express how much I…read moreappreciated having Stefanie in my corner to help me navigate the process of trust administration of my late mother's estate. Early on I naively thought that my mother's estate was not so complicated and I should be able to manage the trust administration on my own. But even when the estate is seemingly simple, beware the "Bureaucracy of Death!" There were a lot of unexpected hoops to jump through in dealing with banks and other institutions, even when the estate is in a trust and not probate. I searched and met with a handful of Contra Costa County area trust attorneys before I found Stefanie. What stood out about Stefanie is that she is a kind human being, along with being very smart and knowledgeable. Whenever I talked to her, it felt like I was speaking with a person, not a "lawyer," and I really appreciated that during a difficult time. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out with a question. Without her, I would have likely made many errors in administering the trust, had so many more headaches, and gone down unnecessary paths. Her pricing is very fair and I felt so lucky to have worked with her!

    I retained this attorney for limited-scope representation in a California family law matter and…read morepaid a retainer based on her advice to proceed with filing an RFO to secure a hearing date, with the understanding that she would review and update the filing as needed. Shortly before my January 6 spousal support hearing, she withdrew from representation for personal reasons. This withdrawal occurred mid-case and placed me at a significant disadvantage, forcing me to urgently seek new counsel and incur additional legal fees. After withdrawing, she refused to refund any portion of the retainer, despite the work being left incomplete and the withdrawal creating additional costs. The timing and handling of the withdrawal caused unnecessary stress and financial burden in an active, time-sensitive case. Based on my experience, I would caution anyone considering this attorney for matters involving court deadlines or ongoing proceedings.

I can't believe we took this long to post about his well-deserved 5 stars on here! My parents found Matthew to be extremely nice and helpful throughout an entire process they knew nothing about. He is very knowledgeable and was able to effortlessly breakdown any legal jargon into something they could easily understand. They met with him a few times and he was extremely patient as they figured everything out. Huge thank you to Matthew and his team - we cannot recommend working with them enough!
