I finally took the time to create my trust and working with Hiraizumi Law Group was a no-brainer. Jill made the process easy, understandable, and I felt supported every step of the way. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but she broke everything down clearly and answered all of my questions with patience and professionalism. I truly appreciated how organized and efficient the entire process was. I left feeling confident that everything was set up properly and that my wishes were clearly documented. If you're looking to create a trust and want someone knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Hiraizumi Law Group. It was such a positive experience from start to finish. read more

My living trust and associated documents had become out of date and needed to be updated. Two other law firms were very quick to provide price quotes and tell me my entire trust required a restatement, but during our consultation, Jill recommended an amendment which was quicker and easier. Jill is very friendly and thoughtful and provides personalized attention. Plus, I always appreciate a business who uses current technology and software to move things along and keep track of documents and changes in a secure way since these are materials that require discretion and attention to detail. I am glad I found a trustworthy estate planning attorney in Jill (and Emily who went out of her way to accommodate a schedule change). Highly recommended. read more

Our family had to update my 85-year-old parents' estate planning docs after their longtime Japanese-American law firm retired. Their Family Trust, Health Care Directives, Pour-Over Wills, and Powers of Attorney were originally created over 25 years ago, and with laws changing since then, we wanted to be absolutely certain everything was done correctly. Jill Hiraizumi and her entire team were an absolute dream to work with. From the very first convo, we felt genuine warmth, personalized care, and complete confidence in their legal expertise. It felt less like working with a law firm and more like speaking with a trusted lifelong friend--one with cultural understanding and deep legal knowledge. Hiraizumi Law Group delivered exactly what they promised, both in quality and timeline. Jill spent an extraordinary amount of time kindly explaining the legalese to us. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism and compassion. If any friend or family member is seeking estate planning services in California--especially in English, Japanese, or both--this firm is our #1 recommendation. read more

Recently hired Jill and her law firm to assume estate planning services, when my previous attorney retired. I found Jill to be extremely approachable, highly knowledgeable, and very intuitive in understanding my estate planning needs/desires when it comes to beneficiary planning. NOTE: I did check out several other real estate attorneys recommended to me but everyone's hourly fees were identical. So it came down to who I felt most comfortable with and where I could place my highest trust in their skills, knowledge and follow-through. I am glad that I hired to Jill to assume my estate planning legal needs and responsibilities! read more

During the past six months we have worked with Jill Hiraizumi Law Group on  writing our Family Living Trust, Will and related documents, writing a Will for our 92 year old mother, and a Will for an individual who was very ill and did not have the financial resources to fully pay for her services.   In each instance, Jill and her team tailored these important documents to each personal situation with thoroughness, professionalism, and compassion.   Jill clearly explained legal issues and presented us with alternatives in plain language that were easy to understand.   She is easy to work with, very personable, and clearly has her clients interests at heart.  We would continue work with her firm on future needs and would recommend her firm to others. read more

This is the 2nd time we are using Jill. She had helped us with our in-laws estate planning and it went so smoothly, plus she was able to speak Japanese to my in-laws to help them understand everything. When my father in law passed everything was organized in the folder she gave him, and the whole process went smoothly. This is the reason we went with her for our own estate planning. Even with the social distancing, we were able to have zoom meetings and the process was as easy as can be. We highly recommend Jill read more
