Matthew Hart is a highly qualified Trust Lawyer. He and his staff are very pleasant and…read moreprofessional. It's a bigger process than I realized. He listened, suggested, but always said it was my decisions. He kept me on track and helped to clarify things, that helped lead me to the right decisions for me and my family. Sadly, I went to him after losing my husband not long ago. Something we talked about doing, but hadn't taken care of. It was so hard for me to meet with Matthew, after my loss. I'm so glad that he was recommended to me. There are many things to consider, A Trust, A Will, An Advanced Health Directive, Banking Accounts, Retirement Accounts, Real Estate, etc, and must be considered and your wishes recorded for the protection of your family. Don't put it off! Make an appointment if you can. Do it to protect your family ! You will feel such a "Peace of Mind". Thank You Matthew and Staff

I was at a lost when I found out I had to review my father's Will. The quantity of language, coupled with ambiguous words made it difficult to decipher. To make matters worst, I didn't know what to do, or who to turn to? I found Jack online, and I figured I might as well message him. He called me within the hour, and talked to me about my situation. He wasn't about the money, but more about the service. And he gave me a fee I could work with. The next day I sent the document to him via email. He was able to decipher it within an hour, and ADD language that I never even knew existed. The best part? He answered all my questions. Now, I can rest every night knowing that the Will was written properly. I thanked Jack for all his hard work. I am going to recommend him to all my friend's and family, and of course I will be going through him in the future to hopefully set up a Trust. Thanks Jack. You made more than a client, but a friend. Your friend, Joseph

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.
