Great Estate Planning Support!!!…read more I moved from out of state and had to have all of my estate planning documents updated per California law. Daniel Hollingsworth came highly recommended from friends, and I was able to quickly pass him my expired estate/trust documents to 1) make them CA-compliant and 2) also insert my own needed updates to reflect my current estate situation. After he had a chance to review my expired estate plan, I met with Daniel; he explained the differences between my previous state's laws and CA law, the changes he recommended and the rationale for each change. I found his opinions to be very insightful and appreciated the examples and scenarios he gave me to consider for each change. Daniel really put me at choice--and I felt I really understood my choices. I appreciated his explanations and the professionalism he exhibited in dealing with some touchy/feely family considerations too. Daniel and his staff quickly turned around my estate plan, and then he met with me and my young adult daughter so that I could sign off the final documents. He made the sign off quick for me, and yet very understandable for my daughter, who is one of my trustees. He also offered to do the same walk-through of documents for my adult son (also a trustee, but unavailable that day)--and it was so helpful to have everyone feel competent and confident in executing the estate plan together. I recommend Daniel for anyone who needs an estate plan/trust.  It was a night/day difference between his support and my previous experience out-of-state--and motivated me to write this recommendation. In fact, I'm referring my brother to him, as he is in the same process and I know Daniel is someone he can trust and depend on. Laura -- Pacific Grove

5-Star Review: A Lifesaver During My Darkest Days - Still Grateful 31 Years Later…read moreThirty-one years ago, when my husband passed away, I was overwhelmed with grief and navigating the complexities of loss as part of a widows' support group. That's where I first met Yvonne Ascher, who graciously joined our group to guide us through the challenges ahead. Her empathy and expertise were immediately evident--she was already deeply involved in community service, paying it forward before we even knew what "paying it forward" meant, especially to help women who were struggling through very long and difficult periods. Living locally while my attorneys were based in Los Angeles, I was in no emotional state to travel during that intense time of grief. I was so impressed by her knowledge and compassion that I reached out to her right away and connected her with my LA legal team. She handled everything for me right here, with my attorneys providing direction on the background of the trust. My attorneys were more than impressed with her--they were equally blown away by her professionalism and efficiency. Even 31 years later, she is still my estate attorney, and anyone who uses her services can rest assured that what they want relating to their estate will be carried out expertly and efficiently. I simply can't say enough good things about her - she made an impossible situation manageable and treated me with such kindness. Even after all these years, I still consider her one of the absolute best in her field. No one comes close. If you're facing similar circumstances, she's the person you want on your side.

Mr. Pernik was a great listener and very pleasant. Made us feel like we were definitely hiring the right person. But I think the true measure of a professional is if they are will to address client concerns head on and quickly. It's always easy if things go perfectly between a client and provider from the onset...but it speaks volumes if someone finds out there is an issue/concern, and they work to resolve it immediately. The Law Office of William Pernick works quickly to resolve client concerns and questions. We feel lucky to have them on our side.

I had interviewed at least a handful of lawyers by the time I came across Steven Andre. He was one…read moreof only two lawyers who actually displayed genuine empathy for my situation, and was the only one that didn't leave me feeling further victimized upon hearing price quotes. While I didn't realize this at the time, turns out I was actually well equipped with the tools to fight this case on my own- I just needed a little coaching in regards to the legal system and as cheesy as it sounds, simply needed to hear that someone believed me. My story was one that I am sure countless women can relate to- I was facing an opponent whom had been emotionally/ mentally abusive to the point where I was suffering from rather severe PTSD, which strongly impacted my ability to accurately explain the nightmare I was dealing with. On top of this, I felt pretty powerless and completely failed by a system that I always had been told would protect me. One of the worst things I had faced during my ordeal was being written off as the stereotypical 'hysterical or crazy woman' upon attempting to relay my almost unbelievable experience (which quite honestly I expect to see made into a Dateline NBC episode or a Netflix movie one day.) The second worst thing I faced was accepting the hard truth: laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through. Now I realize lawyers have to make a living, and it is their job to sell me their services. However, I am in customer service/ sales myself, and I have have always made it a point to engage in personal work ethic stressing the importance of balance between making a living and giving back to the community. And because I provide clients with genuinely honest advice, this sometimes means they don't enlist my services on that day in particular. But what I have found, is that taking this moral and ethical high road is how one earns clients for life. So...onto my point- Mr. Steven Andre is the kind of moral and ethical person that earns clients for life and you can trust he puts his clients' best interests first. Thank you again Steven, I truly appreciate you and hope you realize what a difference you made in my life
