From our first meeting, he was warm, friendly, and genuinely willing to spend as much time as we needed to understand the details. What impressed us most was his ability to think through scenarios we hadn't even considered. He didn't just fill out forms; he really looked at our specific situation and helped us plan for 'what-ifs' that were completely off our radar. If you are looking for an attorney who is thorough, patient, and a pleasure to work with, look no further than Michael.

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.

I was on the lookout for a new attorney to help me update a prior estate plan after getting married last year, having found my previous attorney well-informed, but not as communicative and articulate/descriptive as I would have liked for the answers I was seeking. I came across Jelena and several other attorneys through my legal insurance network, and after having had an initial chat with them all, found it pretty easy to move forward with her, having appreciated how well she communicated her ideas and suggestions, as well as the particular guidance path she recommended. A few forms and meetings later, my plan was done and updated, and seemingly (to my untrained legal eye) much more comprehensive than my prior one. After everything is complete, she'll send you docs that are easy to update as needed, as well as detailed instructions for any next steps needed to finish documenting/setting up your estate. Overall, she's a great attorney to work with, who's well-informed and willing to explain whatever you have questions about, but also very honest about when she doesn't know the answer to something, which she'll also quickly research and follow up with you on: something far more preferable than a professional that'd just pretend to know everything. Highly recommend!

I hired Paul Mori to represents me in my case; I thought he was a good lawyer... then, during the…read morecourse of my case. I had noticed that he was not a good one after all. Even in the hearing his statement was very weak and mostly was not irrelevant to the topic. Most of his charges had been spent on email, text messages, meetings, visiting court website to get the information regarding the case. Hiring this poor/lack of knowledge lawyer was a great mistake in my life. By the way his fee is almost the same as a high caliber lawyer. Prior to the conclusion of the case (which was not in favor of me) I had found out that Paul Mori was fired by one of my friends as her lawyer in the middle of her case. At the end huge amount of my hard earned money have been spent for nothing. So I would not recommend this lawyer.

Miranda Legal Services is the best person and place to get help with my legal paperwork, contracts…read moreand research. Kriss is like Erin Brockovich. If you don't know who that is, watch the movie Erin Brockovich (2000) starring Julia Roberts. If money wasn't an option, I'd still hire Kriss FIRST before I would an attorney, or at least ask her for a referral first if I needed to work with a good one - just my opinion. I'm sure she has a good team and only works with the best. Personally though, I think she would be a great attorney, if she was one. I've hired a lot of Attorneys and although she is NOT a Lawyer, Kriss Miranda is the best paralegal and is better than a lot of attorneys I've hired in the past for these reasons: 1) She gets a lot more done and quickly. She communicates well. She does detailed, quality work. 2) Kriss always responds quickly. I've had so many attorneys that don't even have time for me or are too busy and they don't email you or call you back, etc. I've had some attorneys to where I had to chase them down just to get status of my case, or a simple update. I'm sure Kriss gets busy, but at least she is really great at returning inquiries, and gives the time to listen to me and issues I may have, even late after business hours and weekends too, just to get the job I need done! 3) Kriss pays attention to the details. To get the level of attention to detail Kriss does naturally, you usually have to hire an entire law firm, or at least multiple attorneys / lawyers. I know this from experience. Again - to get an idea - watch the movie Erin Brockovich. 4) Kriss is really good at research and asking the right questions, she is personable and can trust her by my side and can point me in the right direction. What I mean is that having Kriss is like having a sister in your corner. It's not that she'll lose control or will throw chairs in the courtroom - what I mean is that she'll be passionate and emotionally invested to see you get the best possible outcome. 5) Kriss is honest. Although she can't give you legal advice, she'll make sure the papers get done correctly, and tell you straight up / flat out what the range of possibilities could be if rules aren't followed correctly. Read the other 5 star reviews. There was one recent review I don't agree with (hopefully it gets removed) - because the yelper wasn't even her client. Yelp is for clients and actual customers, not for people who are sore just because they lost and she won against them. But I guess it goes to show she was successful in winning that situation. It literally took me days of calling nonstop to find a good lawyer - and somehow found Kriss instead, I'm so glad I did. If you want someone super smart and passionate like Erin Brockovich - and you want them to care about you like family - you'll get Kriss Miranda in your corner.

For so long, I felt helpless watching her struggle with what happened to her, seeing her doubt herself and wondering if anyone would ever truly listen. Then you came into our lives, and everything changed. From our very first meeting, you treated her with such respect and dignity. You listened to her story - really listened - and never once made her feel like she had to prove herself to you. As a mother, seeing someone believe in my child the way you did was everything. Watching you fight so fiercely for her rights and her truth last week gave both of us hope that we haven't had during some really dark moments over the past few years. You didn't just handle her case - you cared about her as a person, and that made all the difference. This settlement isn't just about money - it's about my daughter getting the acknowledgment she needed to start truly healing. Thank you, Sandy, for giving my daughter her voice back and for fighting like hell to make sure justice was done. You've been a blessing to our family.
