My wife and I are so pleased that we found Elizabeth's firm. The details she put into our trust make my parents' and my in-laws' trusts look like postcards. She walked us through everything and helped us navigate some of the difficult issues regarding end-of-life planning. The trust not only includes our wishes but also instructions and supporting law citations for a trustee should my wife and I be incapacitated. This was so much more than what we had when our parents passed. After the trust was done, reviewed, signed and notarized, she followed up a couple weeks later to make sure we were working off the list of things we needed to do to transfer assets into the trust. She's warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We had been told some things by my in-laws' lawyer that it turns out were incorrect. Elizabeth was able to set us straight and help us move forward. read more

I would highly recommend Ms. Johnson for estate planning. I engaged her for establishing a will, revocable trust and a health care directive. Ms. Johnson was very knowable in all areas of estate planning and explained things clearly and offered alternatives based on my current circumstances - she made it easy to understand for non-lawyer folks. I especially was impressed that she coordinated and lead the efforts to work with several local government agencies in California and Hawaii to transfer property titles into the established trust. Ms. Johnson also outlined the next steps I needed to take to ensure my family members knew what to do upon my passing away. The binder she created will help my family understand how to avoid probate and process my estate without too much problems. Again she did a great job at a reasonable fee. read more

Elizabeth was so detail-oriented and thorough in helping us update our trust and accompanying documents. I highly recommend her!

Our family cannot recommend Johnson Law Firm enough. My wife and I had an excellent experience working with Elizabeth to establish a family trust. Neither of us have experience in estate planning, and she took the time to teach us about the basics of the process while patiently but thoroughly answering all of our questions throughout. She also helped lay out the checklist for to-dos with our existing financial institutions, the county recorder's office, etc. as it related to transitioning all of our existing assets to the new trust. We know she's available at any time for us should questions arise, and has quickly gotten back to us whenever we had any so far. Her office is conveniently located near our home, and she took several steps to ensure our in-person signing was safe despite the COVID pandemic (e.g., signers socially distanced around the table, everyone was masked, lots of sanitizer and no pen sharing). She also was great with (and understanding of) our super squirmy 18 month old at the signing process. Thank you, Elizabeth! read more

It is a pleasure to recommend Elizabeth Johnson. I wish I could give her more than five stars. She is an outstanding, professional.

Besides her knowledge of trusts, wills, and related issues, Elizabeth is patient and kind. She took care of all details related to my husband's death, updated our trust, helped me develop a new will, and provided a wealth of accompanying information and materials. From the beginning, everything was clearly and patiently explained. Elizabeth also understood our family dynamics and gently offered advice that helped me make some important decisions. read more

"Creating and implementing a trust is complicated. Our experience with Elizabeth as our trust attorney was excellent and positive at all steps in the process. She was highly effective in both creating a trust and implementing a trust. Elizabeth's vast experience creating trusts was evident as she made numerous suggestions to help ensure our intentions were properly documented. Some of these suggestions my wife and I would have never thought of, so we appreciated the intellectual value she brought to the table. Having spent more than a year settling a family member's estate, I was keenly aware of the challenges of effectively implementing a trust. I was pleased that Elizabeth focused on ensuring our real property assets as well as our financial assets were properly transferred to our trust, and that appropriate beneficiaries were named. I particularly liked the binder that Elizabeth put together that contains all the relevant documentation. This organizational step will help ensure the executor of our estate has the necessary information at their fingertips to make settling the estate as painless as possible. Thank you for helping us create our trust. We highly recommend the Law Office of Elizabeth C. A. Johnson." read more

"What's this?" "A form I ask you to fill out, Chuck. It will organize information and streamline the process of preparing your documents." And so we began what turned out to be a simple and understandable effort to distill our lives and future wishes into trusts, wills and powers of attorney. This was so much easier than the last time in Texas. I appreciated Elizabeth's ability to get what I was saying the first time I said it. That doesn't always happen. We needed to make only two trips to her office which further enhanced the experience. She leaves you with not only stack of signed documents but also organizes them and attaches instructions to keep them that way. Elizabeth's many years of getting people to complete something they really don't want to spend time on speaks to her competency and people skills. She is very direct and easy to understand. Elizabeth was recommended to us and we now add our names to her list of satisfied clients. read more

Elizabeth was very helpful during the consult, explaining the process, timeline and types of necessary documents.

Throughout the whole process, Elizabeth was prompt, patient and helpful with Q & A. She is very organized and client oriented. We are comfortable and confident Elizabeth has put together a complete and useful product that will serve us well. We are very happy with our selection of JLF to help us in this endeavor and would recommend JLF as an excellent client oriented Trust attorney. read more

I wish I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, because Elizabeth is beyond this basic rating. She is professional, organized, caring, patient, and honestly a great human being who is so incredibly intelligent. She worked with me dealing with my fiancé's estate and helped me every step of the way during a time I was so broken. She was incredibly kind, sensitive and understanding when I had to bring my 1 year old to her office knowing he would get into everything. She helped me create my own estate plan and created a trust for my son providing guidance every step of the way. Elizabeth knew exactly what I needed and was available whenever I needed her. She works quick and efficiently. I highly recommend her! read more

Elizabeth is the one when it comes to "getting your affairs in order". She is more expensive than the cheapest quotes we got, but she is also more available to you during the process than other attorneys. She makes the process extremely convenient, coming to wherever you are and fitting in to your schedule. We got quotes from 3 attorneys, Elizabeth's price was in the middle, but in our introduction talk, she gave us the most detail, and mentioned angles the other attorneys missed out. She provided rapid iteration in customizing the documents to suit our unique needs, and shepherded us through the whole process quickly, and efficiently. read more
