Several years ago we decided it was time to establish a trust. We're just a normal working couple, but we have a home, 401K, some savings - in short, assets that would be tied up in probate for our child if something should happen to us. We met with the team at Celaya Law, and from the initial meet to the completion of the process we were treated with respect, our questions were answered, and most important, we were educated about the procedures each step of the way. Our attorney, Meghan Avila, was professional, friendly, and obviously focused on our needs. We sincerely appreciated her guidance and advise throughout the process. read more

Sometimes estate and trust planning can be difficult to accomplish. However, Celaya Law helped me to understand the process and consequences of not having the proper documents in place. They were thoughtful efficient, and very customer focused. read more

I hired Mr. Celaya to assist me with a family matter concerning my mother's estate. He was paid upfront for his services, which lasted about a month. He assured me that he was fully capable of handling the complicated situation I was facing, but he ultimately did not fulfill the responsibilities for which I hired him. Instead, he billed me approximately $7,000.00 without providing any proof of the negotiations with the opposing attorney. Unfortunately, I do not recommend Mr. Celayas law firm. read more

Terrible experience! I set up a zoom consultation, the guy was 5 minutes late to join the call. Super arrogant and disrespectful right off the bat. I started by explaining my situation currently and what my goals were in the future as it pertained to my business ventures and trust. He responded by telling me that he wasn't here to give me free advice and he was just going to describe the $5k package they offered. Very unprofessional and I would highly recommend finding a different firm for any estate/trust planning. read more

Our experience with Celaya Law was exceptional, everyone who we interacted with was very professional, we felt comfortable and we were guided in the process. Their team is solid and customers can experience a good team effort to archive customers satisfaction. I recommend Celaya Law. read more

After less than expected performance by the attorney who did initial intact & purportedly updated the family Trust, I wrote a letter of inquiry to owner/lead attorney asking for answers. He responded knowing of my previous "scathing" Yelp review and said he would "still" talk with me. Unfortunately, when we spoke he had not done his homework, as he did not have answers for most of my questions. Now they have issued large disbursement checks prior to sharing accounting of where funds came from. Additionally, the attorney misrepresented their duties at initial meeting as today's conversation revealed they never handle long term trusts. Hence, what my mother expected and thought was accepted has been passed off to someone else without honoring original conversation and/or prior discussion of all interested family members. Granted, this trust has very rare components (which were revealed with transparency and full disclosure) but the firm quickly took the money to do the job they have now given to others! I was treated harshly for holding them accountable! Makes me wonder why they are unprepared for questions and defensive when asked of their performance. Highly unprofessional & unethical performance! read more

My wife and I were very pleased with the service, expertise, kindness, and understanding of everyone from Celaya Law. Anthony was wonderful as always. Cynthia and Lynnette were also wonderful. Celaya Law receives our highest recommendation! read more

I had my Trust already but needed to be amended for some changes in my life and to be organized. Celaya Law Firm did help me to accomplish it, now I feel safe that I am protecting my loved ones. My experience with Celaya Law, they are very professional, good communication & accesibility. read more

First off, this man is very "real", compassionate, knowledgeable and I feel like family just being around him. He told me his story of his first client ever and that's how He choose the area of law to specialize in. Its a very gut wrenching story. My brother is schizophrenic and has always had got a shitty blow just with his mental illness. His own brother then cousin took advantage of him, My cousin is a coward. He really messed with the wrong stick of dynamite when He went to war with me over my brothers Estate, I will kick until my dying day to honor my mom's wishes after my brother messed him over too, No one will make my brother sign anything He doesn't understand, no one will have his money whom isn't tied to State Conservator Laws. It wont happen again on my time here on earth and Anthony Celaya is protecting our backsides. Yeah I signed two large checks today but the piece of mind knowing I have nothing else to worry about is priceless, I can provide for my brother modestly and still spoil him. If I needed a lawyer in another area of law Id ask him. He's got integrity because his motto is family first. And, I've said all along if your not on the Team Terry Train (the brother with schizophrenia) you can get a swift kick off of it. The video is very eye opening. PROTECT YOUR FAMILY TODAY read more

Terrific Law office with experienced, understanding and patient lawyers and staff. They did a wonderful job on our Family Trust...and fast too! I highly recommend this most excellent team! read more

A few years ago, we decided that it was time to start a Trust. We were aware of the issues and problems that our inheritors would have to face if something were to happen to us. As recent critical events took place in the world, we were pleased to have a trust in place. As we settled in Napa, it occurred to us to review and update our Trust, I was dismayed by the quality of the Trust we had in our safe. Many items missing, the writing and spelling were not up to par of a professional law firm. We had also moved to Napa and wanted to update our property records in our Trust. Looking through a Napa magazine, we found Celaya Law; read about it and their story was compelling enough to make us contact them. After going through the process we have our new Trust, it is up to date. It also has the capacity to be updated as needed, included in our contract and onetime fee. They did the needed research to update the records and title of a property that I had neglected to look after. Needless to say, I am thankful and pleased with their professional work and attitude. They also have "personalismo," a Spanish word that sort of means a friendly and comfortable attitude towards the client. Thank you Anthony Celaya and crew; we now feel more comfortable about our having things prepared in the event of a life changing event. If you are reading this, do not hesitate and take care of things now, and have Celaya Law help you with that. read more

My wife and I really enjoyed working with this place. We interacted with Cynthia, Meghan, and Lynette and they were all friendly, processional, and efficient at their jobs. Their educational video was informative, and we received a discount for watching it. We tried going through a regular law firm, but it was hard to get in touch with someone to set anything up. I also appreciate the flat fee since I know we'll be adding and removing assets and will not have to worry about charges per email or hour. I would go back and would refer them to anyone interested in creating a trust. read more

A fabulous firm that I would recommend to anyone looking for assistance with estate planning, or any issue that requires legal counsel.

I have had my family trust done by Celaya Law. As questions have come up, they are there to guide me. As I have added to my trust they filled out the forms and notarized at no additional cost. They are a great firm to work with. I feel very confident knowing my assets are protected as well as my family. read more

It was time for my husband and I to amend the beneficiary page in our trust. Upon examining the trust we had in place for 3 years Celaya Law was able to fix several other parts of our old trust. These were loose ends in our estate plan and we are grateful now to have them in place. It is very reassuring. I found them to be clear, straightforward, helpful, professional and timely. I do recommend them to someone considering estate planning. I look forward to a long and beneficial relationship with Celaya Law. I particularly like that they are community oriented and consistently make free information available to the public in a complicated and challenging arena. read more

Anthony is a consummate and caring professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone interested in setting up a trust. Creating a family trust was on our to-do list for years and we're so glad we were able to cross paths and finally get our financial planning act together with his guidance! Anthony's extensive knowledge, personable demeanor and straightforward approach immediately put us at ease and made for an extremely pleasant and efficient process. Thank you so much! read more

So comfortable to have an Attorney you can trust. Not only is he well versed on Wills and Trusts, but his advice on Estate planning was extremely helpful. Anthony is a caring individual, knowledgeable and professional. We will definitely recommend him to our friends. read more

Anthony is the most professional, knowledgeable, detailed oriented, and compassionate lawyer with whom my husband I have consulted. My husband and I recently moved to Napa, CA from Seattle, Washington, and we felt we needed to update our Will, and Estate planning, since we have four children and several grandchildren. Also, we have lived in many states, have had experience with many lawyers, and had routinely updated our Will. Anthony expertly guided us through the process to execute the new Will documents and Trust documents, to protect our family and assets, avoid probate. In the midst of finalizing small points of the Trust documents, my husband was unexpectedly hospitalized for several months in Stanford Hospital. Anthony called us several times, offered to visit us in Palo Alto while we were in the hospital, and met with my son in Napa, to address a few legal issues. Anthony has life experience which sets him apart from other lawyers, and was willing to help us in any way possible, to meet our legal objectives. My husband and I plan to visit Anthony again soon, because we feel it is important to review our Will and estate planning . I would definitely recommend Anthony for all Will and Estate planning needs. He is the above the rest. read more

We came in looking to create a trust and discuss estate planning in general. Our first meeting with Mr. Celaya was very relaxed and we came prepared with a list of our assets and a general idea of what we wanted in the trust. He provided several suggestions in how to accomplish our ultimate goals that we had in mind. We felt very comfortable and confident with his suggestions and explanations of legal terms and the estate process. We returned about 3-4 weeks later and signed the completed trust documents, wills, power of attorney forms, medical directives, etc. He assisted us with the recording and transfer of our assets to the trust. We highly recommend Mr. Celaya and his services to anyone looking to discuss estate planning. read more

I work for a financial institution! I see the fallout and sadness every day of families who didn't have a TRUST. It's so majorly SAD! As an African American even while working for a financial institution I didn't see the need for a trust. I was raised to take care of your own money. That's good if you're alive and not DEAD! I just didn't think a trust was a big deal. Believe me everyone, now I know it is!!! I needed a trust for my wife and I. I also wanted to encourage my Dad to get one. He as everyone, didn't think they were that important. However, I still wanted to look for myself. So I Googled and Googled lawyers who handed them. One name kept popping up for my area as highly recommended. CELAYA LAW from Napa, California! Mannnnnnn! Such awesome PROFESSIONAL SERVICE!!!!! My Dad found out one of his good long time friends went to them too! That changed his mind! My Dads 80 years old, so convincing him a trust was a good Idea, was extra hard! He finally did it! He loved their ability in explaining the importance of it and their service too! Don't trust ANY online companies to do your trust! (No Pun Intended!) The government is to strict for them! I don't care what lawyer you choose, choose one who specializes in TRUSTS for your state like I did with Celaya Law! Celaya Law made the trust process SUPER EASY for my Dad and I. Don't be on the fence about getting a Trust if you have money or Property! If you are, you'll regret it later! The Government is UNFORGIVING and UNAPOLOGETIC!!! Thank You Celaya Law for all your help with my family!!! Much Love !!! read more

Excellent, first class professional group. Amazing from start to finish! I am feeling very blessed to have run across an invitation in the Napa Market Place magazine for a free Trust seminar. I felt it was time for me to prepare a Trust for my children. I have felt the need to do this for several years now. I just was not sure what was the best way to go about this. I was feeling quit vulnerable especially after doing some research regarding Trust. I realized the importance of finding a solid, honest, professional group. They have met everyone of my expectations and beyond. I am very pleased with Celaya Law Firm and would recommend them to anyone seeking their services. read more

As a financial advisor, I work with a number of attorneys on a variety of subjects. When it comes to estate planning , Anthony is thorough.This is not solely based on what you ask him to do for you, but his questions lead to what needs to be done for you and you might not have even known to ask. Anthony knew what to ask.. read more

I can't offer enough praise about Celaya Law. Anthony created my family trust and also reworked it to accommodate a change in the family structure later. He also just set up a trust for my elderly parents and because of his incredible knowledge of the esoteric details of Family Law he was able to offer protections to their estate that we would have never known existed. Stop looking, this is the firm to contact! read more

We were recommended to Celaya Law by a family friend and we have been very happy with the support they have given us. We can ask any questions we have and they are always so kind and patient with us. They helped us every step of the way and listened to my fathers needs and wants. It was important that my father got his trust completed for his peace of mind and he is happy with the outcome. read more

I too would highly recommend this firm after having many questions answered @ one of their free seminars which lasts about 40 minutes. Very comprehensive & there is even room @ the end for a few questions & answers. My Wife & I were not only seeking information for ourselves, for my Wife's Mother who just lost her Husband. Wanted information on her current living trust which was completed by a different firm. Though was seeing if that should be voided or just change language in her current trust or not,. Very happy we got this out of the way for piece of mind. Celaya Law made it very easy. Once we helped plugged the holes with information Celaya Law needed, a living trust was completed very quickly with no problem @ all. Best you can review & make necessary changes yearly. Celaya Law also monitors the latest laws & advises it's clients should anything affect their current living trust as needed. I'd recommend going with Celaya Law for such matters! Parking easy to find too! Most without walking distance of their office. read more
