After dealing with a conman attorney/contractor in a miserable lawsuit, my husband and I had to…read morehire yet another attorney. We needed somebody who had knowledge of construction, could truly fight in front of a judge, and who understood the devious criminal we were up against. Vida fit the bill!! She is incredible in front of a judge. A true fighter - and her engineering knowledge and skill is unbeatable! She knows her stuff inside and out, is not shaken when someone attempts to sway her knowledge; she knows what she is doing!! Having to hire an attorney can be frustrating and scary, but rest assured Vida will take care of you. I highly recommend!

She is the first attorny I've ever hired personally (have worked with several corp lawyers before) and she impressed us every step of the way. She got me exactly what I was hoping for and even guided me throughout the arbitration and court processes. I can be difficult to deal with sometimes and she was able to push me enough to help me make the right decisions and let her make the expert decisions. My case was for construction law and considering she is ALSO an expert in structural engineering, I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you so much for helping me out.

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY! I had a trust done by Brooks in September of 2021. I'm still waiting on…read moredocuments for the Trust to be completed and it's Feb 2022.

Estate planning forces you to look at and consider questions about what to do with your assets (and…read moreyourself) once you're incapacitated and/or deceased. It gets more complicated if you've had multiple marriages, stepfamilies, and combined/separate assets. Add in estate planning's peculiar vocabulary (e.g., A-B trusts, probate, conservator, durable power of attorney, and a QTIP that doesn't go in the medicine cabinet). Now, add the options and expense levels, estate planning "mills" and online hoo-hah, and it becomes obvious why we all put off estate planning as long as we can. How to sort out, in a logical (and preferably tax smart) way, all the issues? This year, we finally got around to it, using the services of H. Brooks Travis. We're glad it's done, and we're confident that the plan created is best for us, and that it was created for us at a fair price. Brooks took time to listen and understand what we were looking for, excused my various off-topic rants, and designed a plan that addressed our sometimes complex priorities without overcomplicating them. He provided us with "user manuals" with lay information, as well as originals of the necessary legal documents. I wouldn't want to do it again, but if I had to, I'd go back to H. Brooks Travis.

Their staff is consistently diligent and friendly when I call in (which is a LOT), the attorneys/staff gave me their undivided attention and I truly felt safe with them. My calls were promptly returned by my attorney or his assistant, time frames quoted were always realistic and I couldn't be happier with the outcome(s). I hired John Anderson Law for: - Accident (vehicle / pedestrian) - Set up of Trust I found everyone at John Anderson Law to be kind, attentive understanding, reassuring and professional. The staff is probably it's best asset, from the gal in the front to Linda Ledford (she did a spectacular job on my trust!! ) to Todd Anderson (excellent representation and results ). Service boils down to people, and I can't say enough good things about them. If you happen to live in or around San Clemente and want to retain top notch representation w/out driving to Santa Ana for your appointments; I'd strongly suggest you speak to John Anderson Law first, especially if it's relating to a commercial vehicle, semi/truck or motorcycle accident where damages are being sought. I didn't have to much if anything (!) after hiring this firm, they took my case over and won my case in an impressively short amount of time!! Thank you JA LAW !
