All I needed was to wait to file my case for another 2 months. From there, I opted to cancel his service and I only got partial of my payment. He and his team (Megan) lacks communication. It takes weeks for either one of them to get back to you. Megan had all my paperwork all wrong. More than half of my claims were missing for the filing and she says "I didn't look through all of them." What am I paying you for?!? Would NOT recommend their service.

GETTING A TRUST: Trust McKenna Koepke of Blackstock & Barsell as she is as sharp as a tack! What…read morea pleasant positive experience it was using McKenna to make my Trust. Hearing all the buzz on making sure you have a Trust in place; but also hearing of the nightmares with the court system when you DON'T have a Trust in place, I KNEW I needed one. So I searched and called McKenna Koepke of Blackstock & Barsell in Walnut Creek. This office has plenty of parking which was a plus for me. It is located very close to Whole Foods in Walnut Creek. I was greeted at the office door with a welcoming smile and immediately proceeded to meet McKenna in her office. She went through the Trust procedure precisely and in a way that I understood it; not confusing me with all the legal words/terms. She answered all my questions and gave me plenty of time to ask them all; and there were a lot. Indeed it was a very easy meeting full of education and knowledge. I knew right away that I wanted McKenna of Blackstock & Barsell to do my Trust. McKenna also promptly answered all my after-meeting telephone questions that had popped into my head later when I got home and the week after. I said yes to her doing my Trust and the ease it took to come to the final paperwork was astonishing. McKenna is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, tentative, expeditious and organized. AFTER TRUST FINALIZED AND FUTURE: McKenna is a hands-on person! Every time I call her with questions, she gets back to me promptly which is a rarity these days. For instance, I had a question about something I heard on the street about Power of Attorney and she quickly called me back and updated me. When I bought some property it was a quick call to her and it was taken care of. Hands-on McKenna has sent me educational emails of law changes which may affect my generation in case we need to change anything in our Trust. I can't begin to write how happy and secure I feel with McKenna Koepke of Blackstock & Barsell working on my behalf.

The turnaround time from our first meeting to when she was able to complete the documents was not long at all. We would definitely recommend her to others for the same services!

Mr. Feldman came recommended from a friend while I dealt with my sister's estate probate. I was in…read morea tough situation, not only my sister's probate was extra complicated but the lawyer I had was very unprofessional and uncommunicative. I talked to Mr. Feldman and was impressed with his knowledge and experiences. He assured me that he can take over the case and I would not need to worry about dealing with my ex-lawyer. Fast forward 4+ yrs and the case was just closed this month. What a load off my shoulder! Aaron not only guided me through everything but solved quite a few difficult obstacles along the way. He is not only very knowledgable on the estate law but also quite good at what he does. He gave real advice even though at time it was not what I wanted to hear and proved to be the right one. I was really impressed with how Aaron dealt with problems with patient and attention to details. Aaron took care of everything as he promised and got the probate closed as the expected date with no delay. I would highly recommend his firm.

Aaron was the only attorney that was kind to me, he was the first Attorney that understood my complicated situation and he didn't make it feel so complicated. I told him what my goals were and the difficulties that I was facing, and he helped me find the best possible solution and so we went from there and made a plan. I was very scared and had a lot of questions and he was open to them at every point. I cannot recommend him enough. He is an extremely kind and compassionate attorney. If you need help with a special needs trust he is your guy. Be patient with response times, these attorneys work really hard and are often times short-staffed. They do good work.

After my stepdad passed away, I found myself dealing with some complicated trust and estate…read morequestions involving an out-of-state trust. It definitely wasn't a straightforward situation, and I needed someone who could think through the nuances instead of offering a one-size-fits-all answer. Rob and his team were fantastic from the very beginning. What stood out most was that Rob took the time to truly listen and understand the details of my situation before offering advice. He asked thoughtful questions, explained the different options clearly, and helped me understand the potential outcomes of each path. His knowledge and experience were obvious, but he never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. During a difficult and stressful time, it was incredibly reassuring to have a team that was responsive, patient, and easy to work with. They helped make a complicated process feel manageable, and that was something I genuinely appreciated. If I ever need help with a trust, estate, or will in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Rob and his team again. Highly recommended.
