Terrible experience!!! I reached out to David and his team for their service.

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.

A friend of mine directed me to the Law Office of Dan DuRee and so I decided to give him a call. After discussing my family's needs Daniel first walked us through the mechanics of setting up a living trust and then explained specifically how to set up the living trust to address our specific needs. I was impressed with not only Daniel's knowledge of living trusts but also with how he listened closely to our needs and helped us understand the (complicated) issues in plain English. These are great traits for an attorney. I would definitely go back to Daniel for estate planning needs and will recommend him to others in the future.

How do I know where they were from, he didn't even take the time to remove the "for more free forms, visit atyourbusiness{dot}com" footer from the files or put it on appropriate letterhead. In short, I paid $2200 for free forms and a person to do basic law research that I had already done. I expected much more from a "professional" business law attorney. I'd suggest staying away from this firm. You'd be much better served doing pretty much anything else in this instance.
