    Ad said 15 minute consultation but they called me and said it was 1 hr. for $500. False advertising.

    This law firm is quite good at first I was hesitant but honestly their service is excellent they…read moregot us in right away. They are very explicit and concise with their service pertaining the kind of help we need. They are friendly very attentive, comfortable to talk with. Well for my husband and I, if all the qualities, their values and feeling assured then it's worth a visit. So if needing some help regarding Will & Trust it's worth the call ask questions first about their service and make an appointment..

    My family and I had an experience with this law firm during the administration of my aunt's…read moreCalifornia probate estate. The estate contained limited assets. According to probate filings, the executor received nearly $75,000 in compensation and reimbursements, and the attorneys received more than $16,000 in legal fees. Based on our understanding of the will, several beneficiaries did not receive property or distributions that they believed were contemplated, and no one received any amount as much as the executor for assets less than $325,000, some assets were never addressed at all ii the final accounting, where the family had to purchase the last legal filings themselves. One concern relates to notice and transparency during the administration of the estate. Following service of the Inventory and Appraisal in April 2025, additional filings were made with the court through November 2025. It is our understanding that only one beneficiary signed a Waiver of Notice of Proposed Action in April 2023, while other beneficiaries did not waive notice. Subsequent filings after April 2025, including the final accounting and distribution documents, were not served on all beneficiaries, including matters involving compensation. If accurate, this raises questions about whether all interested parties were provided notice and an opportunity to participate in the probate process. Another concern involves accounting and financial disclosure. A family member requested a complete accounting of the estate's assets, expenses, and distributions on multiple occasions, including through formal service upon the law office. According to our records, a full accounting was not provided in response to those requests. There were also concerns regarding communication. As the probate progressed, communication became more limited. Requests for information and clarification were not consistently addressed, and responses were not always provided in a timely manner. In one instance, a named heir who asked questions was informed by Terry Loa that she was not a party to the case. When Rebecca Sem was contacted directly, a similar response was received. Concerns were also raised regarding the handling of vulnerable individuals. Family members informed both the executor and the attorneys that the decedent's son had lifelong cognitive impairments and later experienced a stroke affecting his decision-making capacity. Based on our observations, no formal evaluation or action addressing these concerns was evident during the administration of the estate. Privacy issues were another area of concern. Despite notification that a granddaughter had a no-contact order involving her father, probate documents continued to include her address in filings and correspondence. Questions also arose regarding the distribution of estate property. The distribution of certain items, including antiques, jewelry, and a vehicle, differed from what some family members understood to be the intended allocations under the will. Those distributions did not align with the decedent's intent based on available information. When Atty Sems was asked directly what had happened to a great-great grandmother's rocker and other assets, the response was that the son was given the option and any remaining items were disposed of. Overall, based on our review of the probate record and our experience, there were concerns regarding communication, notice, accounting, and the administration of the estate. Probate attorneys and executors have responsibilities that include providing notice, maintaining transparency, and administering the estate in accordance with applicable law and the decedent's wishes. This review reflects my family's experience and our understanding of the probate record. Individuals considering this firm for estate administration may wish to review court filings, inquire about attorney fees and executor compensation, and seek clarification regarding notice requirements and accounting procedures. This law office failed in our opinion to follow legalities and allowed an exector, the law firm and her spouse (who had no family relations) to profit from a families traumatic event.

    My experience with this office: The attorney Tamran Amaral…read moreis largely inaccessible. Her office staff function as gatekeepers. They said they gave messages or put something on Tamran's desk, but large months went by without any action. While in office, I overheard Tamran yelling at her paralegal. Tamran sent emails in ALL CAPS and exclamation marks when she was angry that we felt that the agreement was not in our interest. Ideal client for this office is someone who does not have input to give and just wants someone to completely take over and argue hard in the courtroom, but with a need to wait until just before to get any time with or response from the attorney. I found that very difficult to deal with and too many unknowns.

    From 2022-2024, my 3-year-old son was the subject of over 40 unsubstantiated CPS reports, forensic…read moreinterviews, invasive medical exams, and multiple SPD interrogations initiated directly/indirectly by his mother in a malicious attempt to influence our custody trial. In 2024, family court Judge Fatarsi ordered that my 5 year old son retain Amaral for "minor's council." Within two months, Amaral dragged "her client" (my barely 6-year-old son) into the courtroom and Judge Fatarsi forced him to choose which parent he wanted to go home with. I objected under the grounds that a 6-year-old child lacks sufficient age and maturity to express intelligent opinions on parental custody/visitation and is against a child's best interest. I maintain that Amaral alienated, groomed, and manipulated my child, and both Judge Fatarsi and Amaral are complicit in psychological child abuse by allowing my son into the courtroom forcing a child to make adult decisions concerning where to live. Everyone knows Amaral's negative reputation; she only cares about your money in her wallet without regard to the long-term damaging effects of psychological abuse of children. . Please feel free to call me if you'd like more information about Tamran Amaral 2093229484 -Vince
