BE AWARE... I met with the paralegal Anu Verma. She said the estate planning will be $1,500. When I asked to meet the attorney when signing the living trust, her face and demeanor changed. Once I filled out the papers given by Anu, I called to make the appointment to sign the papers and meet with the attorney to ask questions. She never returned any of my calls. I am not sure if she just uses his Phil Shekerlian's license or not, but something sounded shady and didn't add up. I was not going to pay $1,500 to a woman that may disappear tomorrow, or the office would close, and my trust would not stand in court. Please be careful and ask to meet with the attorney prior to giving any money to Anu or this firm. read more

I had a client with a complicated Estate Plan and Mr. Phil Shekerlian helped us go through the documents and made the necessary corrections. Mr. Shekerlian paid attention to the client's needs, asked questions that we didn't even think about.... & was meticulous in his review of the Estate plan. My clients and I are so grateful to find such an honorable, intelligent and caring attorney. Thank you. read more

Phil was compassionate, incredibly intelligent lawyer. He explained everything to us when my elderly Uncle and I went to see him about Estate planning. He knew how to protect my uncle so he could keep living with us. I love my Uncle and just him happy and healthy and home for the holidays. It is the the least I could do for him. Thank God for Phil. read more

Phil is great. I had plenty of questions regarding my immigration options (I'm a F-1 student), and although Phil wasn't able to assist me on this subject, he had another colleague (or was it just a friend?) to call me and assist me with it. His colleague was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. read more

Mr. Shekerlian helped me with a legal matter that I had gotten into and had it not been for his help I'm POSITIVE that I would've been in much worse shape. He is very knowledgeable and actually takes the time to listen to what you have to say unlike other attorneys I've run across. I would definitely refer his services to anyone looking for a good attorney in the future. I'm VERY thankful to have someone like Mr. Shekerlian in my corner! read more

Phil really helped me out. I was lucky to get his Referral from a friend. You know because one never knows who to trust and some lawyers can either take advantage of you or just be incompetent. I admit I was worried at first because his rates where really reasonable. I figured he must not be that good but at least I can trust him because of the referral etc. However, to my elation, it turns out this guys is a freaking PITBULL!! He was intensely tireless and unapologetically relentless. Savvy too, really smart guy, that fact strikes you right away. I came away much better off than if I had found another lawyer I'm certain. I hope not to ever need him again but if I do I won't hesitate. Thanks Phil you really came to my aid and I I needed it more than I needed anything at that moment and for those few months that you kicked in the doors for me. I tear up even thinking about it. Thank you thank you thank you Phil! read more

From the Business

Specialties

We specialize in maximizing client wealth. This requires extensive knowledge of the laws and "what ifs" and cannot be provided by a paralegal, online document service, or unexperienced attorneys. We have over 29 years' experience and offer free consultations/reviews of existing plans. Form business entities and plan to maximize profit, take advantage of tax benefits, and reduce liability from lawsuits, so you don't lose family home and savings. This also applies to owners of rental property, which exposes you to the same tax and liabilities. Estate Planning to avoid probate which costs up to 8% of the entire estate (not including taxes) and can take years to complete, and to prevent your children from becoming wards of the state if something happens to both parents. If you are divorced, exes are automatically removed from your will/trust, but not from other docs which could give your ex access to all of your finances, and the right to change your will/trust to leave all of your assets to your ex's new spouse/family. Other reasons for immediate planning: death in the family, getting married, or having children. We review existing contracts and create custom contracts for any situation (employers/ employees, landlord/tenant, contractors/clients, etc). Probates as quick and cheap as possible. Trust administration: as beneficiary, we get you everything you are entitled to; as trustee, we advise you on duties and the deadlines to prevent you from liability for breach of duty.

History

Established in 2012.

What sets me apart from other attorneys is that I offer a more personalized experience. I decided to start my own law firm because I did not like the way other firms treated their clients. The top complaints were that the attorney did not listen to them or return their calls. I do not think that is the way to run a business, no matter what type of business. Therefore, I started my practice with the idea that every client should be treated as if they matter. I promise to answer calls, texts, and emails. I will listen to your concerns and treat you like a human being. I believe that questions are a natural part of the process and I will not charge you to answer relevant questions. This business model has given me a great deal of satisfaction, and has resulted in many happy clients. If you or anyone you know has any legal questions or concerns, please contact me. My initial consultation is free. After that I charged a fixed fee, so you will know what you are getting into from the start.

Meet the Business Owner: Phil S.

I enjoy the practice of law because it gives me an opportunity to help people who are being taken advantage of by the government. Whether it is abuse by the police on a criminal charge, or keeping you from over paying taxes to the IRS; it is my pleasure to help you. This translates into the way I run my practice: built with customer service as a top priority. Many attorneys will charge you to speak to them, email them, etc.; which is assuming you can get a hold of them in the first place. That is not the way I operate (see above).

Going through the probate process took a long time(2 and a half years) partial due to the nature of the courts and partially due to some more uncommon issues that came up. Including an existence of a trust, but being unable to locate a copy including finding the attorney who originally set up the trust and asking if they had any copies. Unfortunately, the trust was set up before computer records were common. Another problem they helped me with was SunRun decided, for reasons we were never able to figure out, to try to shut of service even after I had began the process of transferring everything into my name and was only then waiting on the deed for the house that I wouldn't have until probate was over. Getting a letter saying SunRun was going to deactivate my service for being overdue on payments while in the same letter saying I owed no money and was 0 days past due was confusing and was confusingto every SunRunemployeei spoke to and none could give me answers. Burris Law helped me tremendously with this and without their help I don't know what would have happened in the end. I can't say enough nice things about them. They sent me 2 small care packages during the process and it was really nice to get something positive in the mail during a time when I was getting anxiety every time the mail came. Even after probate has been over for a year they answer any questions I have that come up. Retaining their services was expensive, as it would have been for any probate attorney, and it was worth every cent. When I'm in a better spot I'll be back to set up my own trust with their help.

Mr. Shekerlian is a very good lawyer. He helped me with a DUI in March 2013. After I was arrested, I got tons of letters from lawyers trying to represent me. After calling all of them and discussing my case and my desired outcome. None of them listened to me when I told them what I wanted them to do and they all quoted me prices ranging from $1200 to $3500. I forget how I came in contact with Mr. Shekerlian (God was looking out for me). When I spoke with him, he was very professional and listen to what I wanted. After our conversation he told me that he would do it for far less than the others. On the day of my hearing, he was on time, and answered every question I had, because I did understand any of the legal Mumbo Jumbo the judge and prosecutor were saying. After doing exactly what I wanted in court. He also gave me an outline of each step I to take in completing the courts punishment. He also continues to answers any questions I have and referred additional services to help get my life back in order. I pray that I never have to use his services again. But if I do, I wouldn't hesitate. I will refer him to anyone that can use because he listens, is very affordable and gets the job done the way you want read more

Phil Shekerlian provides EXCELLENT representation. Although I do not wish to discuss the details of my case I can say that Mr. Shekerlian outlined every step I needed to take clearly. His retainer fees were VERY REASONABLE. I never got the sense that I was being 'talked down to'. Phil stayed in constant communication with me as my case progressed, up until the very day of my court appearance; he was efficient, if I didn't need to be present my time was not wasted. I was promptly provided with hard copies of ALL of my pertinent documentation.
