After comparing against 6 other law firms to do a trust, I settled on Shaw legal. The deciding…read morefactor was the transparent and competitive pricing on their website and stellar reviews here on Yelp. Although I did find another competitor that was cheaper, it was the bundled package and glowing reviews that sold me. After I made my choice and the deposit was made, Arielle was diligently following up via email after I submitted the online questionnaire. Filling out the questionnaire made the process so much easier! I picked the Basic package which included the trust, POAs, & pour over will in a nice and professional binder. Grant deed was received the next day! Definitely will recommend to family and friends! Thanks Tara and Arielle for a painless process!

I don't think words can fully express the gratitude we feel toward Amy Hsiao, but I'll try--because…read moreshe deserves every bit of recognition for the care and skill she brought into our lives. Our family trust was written nearly 20 years ago, and so much has changed since then. After the passing of one of the trustor, the old document no longer reflected the surviving trustee's wishes. Before finding Amy, another lawyer told us the trust was irrevocable and could not be changed at all. It felt unfair and deeply discouraging to believe that the surviving trustee had no say in correcting an outdated document written two decades earlier. Then we met Amy and everything shifted. She reviewed the trust with an incredible level of insight and immediately saw what the previous lawyer had missed. She explained, with compassion and clarity, that we did have a path forward. She helped us understand our options legally. She moved quickly, communicated with kindness, and handled every step with both expertise and genuine heart. She listened carefully to our wishes and treated them with absolute respect. We finally feel at peace knowing the trust now reflects what was truly intended. If you need an attorney who is knowledgeable, caring, and truly committed to helping families, we highly recommend Amy Hsiao. She made all the difference for us, and we are forever grateful.

I reached out to Matt by phone in 2020(?). It was right when all the craziness was coming down. Matt was very easy to reach by phone, and he and his wife even came out to my mom's house for the consult and subsequent signing (his wife is a notary). He made the whole process as painless as possible, for all of us. My mom is very elderly and sometimes not a walk in the park. He also e charged us a LOT less than we'd have paid for the exact same service elsewhere. I highly recommend Matt for his legal estate planning expertise. I'll use him again if/when the time comes.
