My husband and I worked with Emily recently to complete the estate planning process. We had started…read morethe process a few years back but in a more informal manner, choosing to find legal templates online on our own and jotting down what we thought was important but working with a real knowledgeable person that can guide you through the process was a real game changer. Emily was able to advise us on what we should be thinking about when listing down certain designations and how to include certain asset information. It was super helpful to be able to talk out the nuances of certain situations with her to help us come to a decision on what we wanted to include in our estate documents and how. Emily will first provide a free 30 min consultation so you can get to know her and understand her process. Then, she'll send over a worksheet to help you prepare for a deeper dive call you have (1-1.5 hours) to do the estate planning itself. At this point, you still are not obligated to move forward with any services or issue any payment until you have the final signing appointment with both Emily and her designated notary. During this final appointment, Emily will review the finalized documents with you and if there are any last minute changes or corrections to be made, you have the opportunity to do so during this call. After the signatures are complete and payment is made, you get a giant binder mailed to you the following week with your official documents with the law office also retaining a copy for their records. They also provide a checklist of things to take care of on your end to ensure that all assets are properly listed under your created trust as well as ensuring other logistics are taken care of to minimize the administrative overhead for loved ones in the event of your demise. I have never gone through this process with anyone else so I don't have much to benchmark against but overall, I was happy with my experience working with Emily.

I would give Emily 12 stars if I could…read more... I am a mobile notary and I help many many estate attorneys with their clients' estate plan signings. From my odd perspective, Emily is hands-down the best, most comprehensive attorney in all the land. The plans she creates for you have you completely covered, from the trust, the power of attorney and the advance health care directive and onto the HIPAA Authorization form, the pour-over will, the Trust Cert, a grant deed to move your property into the trust0, the county form that tells them this is not a taxable event and more. Because i see these packs from other professionals, I can tell you that not all attorneys include these critical documents. And you will never know what you don't have because most signers haven't ever seen this paperwork before. Unlike other attorneys, her forms are unique to you and your wishes; she does not do a simplistic download from some internet site. In addition, Emily has a lovely, compassionate way about her, and she grasps/asks/investigates/advises/pulls out of you what you want to happen if something unexpected happens no matter how complicated your family and financial dynamics. Did i mention she is mobile???? No taking off time from work to sit in an attorney's office. Emily meets her clients at their home, be it in the evening or on a weekend. So when it was MY turn to get my own trust done, Emily was the only one I trusted my future to. It is such a profound relief to have my own trust in place and that the paperwork she created will support my wishes as I age.

I hired Paul Mori to represents me in my case; I thought he was a good lawyer... then, during the…read morecourse of my case. I had noticed that he was not a good one after all. Even in the hearing his statement was very weak and mostly was not irrelevant to the topic. Most of his charges had been spent on email, text messages, meetings, visiting court website to get the information regarding the case. Hiring this poor/lack of knowledge lawyer was a great mistake in my life. By the way his fee is almost the same as a high caliber lawyer. Prior to the conclusion of the case (which was not in favor of me) I had found out that Paul Mori was fired by one of my friends as her lawyer in the middle of her case. At the end huge amount of my hard earned money have been spent for nothing. So I would not recommend this lawyer.

I was referred to Nelson to settle a car accident. I was skeptical about going to a lawyer at all…read morebecause I was afraid they would just take most of my settlement money, and I thought I could deal with it all myself. When I started to get in over my head, I finally went to him. Thank god I did. As soon as I met him I felt at ease because he's a straight-forward guy and explained the whole process to me succinctly. He took it all off my shoulders and dealt with it, which made his fee well worth it. He kept out of my hair while he was dealing with the case, which I appreciated. Any time I asked for an update his office promptly returned my calls and were very nice.

Neither he nor his staff ever hesitated in answering any inquiries from both my husband and myself, and that is a rare commodity these days. My case (an auto accident) was a bit challenging and I felt that the outcome and settlement was extremely fair. My experience with Mr. Barry was all positive, so positive that I recommended my good family friends to him and they too felt very confident and comfortable and quickly decided to hire him as well. You will not go wrong with Nelson C. Barry III.

Immigration processes can feel overwhelming, but she made it much easier by explaining each step and keeping things on track. One thing that really stood out was her attention to detail. She reviewed everything carefully and made sure nothing was missed. That gave me confidence that my case was being handled thoroughly. She was also consistently available to answer questions. In my experience, many immigration lawyers can be hard to reach or slow to respond, but she was the opposite. I never felt left in the dark about what was happening. Even after our formal work together was finished, she has remained available as a resource when questions come up. That level of ongoing support means a lot. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable immigration lawyer.

I was searching in Yelp way back 2018 and i messaged someone who helped Attorney Grace. I was devastated to get my immigrant status because I left my hometown in Philippines and I don't wanna go back home and tell myself, I failed. To cut story short, my case was complicated and she helped me understand what are the possibilities and procedures would be like. She was very honest and intelligent woman. She will not lie to you if your case is possible to work on or you will lose. 2018 we filed VAWA and she made it possible for me to get my work authorization approved while waiting for my first case to be approved before applying for my permanent residency. I will be honest sometimes, I wanted to give up but I have to trust the process. 2019 i got my VAWA approved and filed my adjust status for my permanent residency. 2020- been waiting but gladly I can still work so patience is a virtue. I wanted to give up but I told myself, Quitters never win. I waited. 2021- despite of Covid, I heard a great news from Grace Alano that I am set for my greencard interview. Yes it is December and it would be a perfect Christmas gift and I couldn't ask for more. We went to Sta Clara USCIS for my interview and Atty Grace was there with me. The officer asked few questions but not related to my previous case. Then after few questions, I got my greencard approved! As soon as we stepped out the room, I cried to Atty Grace and said Thank you for making it happen. I can finally go home to Philippines and see my son and family. She hugged and congratulate me. If the time come and I need a legal help, I will go to Atty Grace Alano again. I highly recommend her to help you with your immigration case.

I'm a Filipina and I met my husband (who is an American citizen) 3 years ago. When we finally…read moredecided to get married and settle down here, we needed to find an immigration lawyer that would help us with our petition process. I consulted with a few other lawyers but decided to go with David as I found him to be extremely helpful. During our first consultation, he listened, showed compassion, and was very clear about different options. The previous lawyers I had consulted with were vague and somewhat pessimistic in their approach but with David, it felt like he was willing to explore and find the best path for us. I felt very comfortable and knew that my fiance and I were in good hands. There was so much documentation and paper work involved but the whole process (which took 3 months from filing to getting the green card!) was a breeze. His assistant, Nela, was thorough, efficient and could be counted on to respond to all my questions in a timely manner. I love how organized she was and she made everything so easy for me. Being new to the US, all the forms I had to fill out and submit were alien to me. However, she patiently explained everything and I will always be thankful for that. As we approached the date of our interview, David also set up 2 skype calls to better prepare us for this. He was present with us during the interview and though it was mostly my husband and I talking, it was reassuring to know that he was there. As mentioned earlier, the petition was successful and we got my conditional green card within a few months of filing. Initially, my husband (who is not a big fan of lawyers!) was wary and skeptical of hiring an attorney. But after meeting David and seeing all the correspondences between Nela and I, he was very impressed which says a lot. My husband and I will always be grateful to David and Nela for the support and guidance they have given us and will happily recommend them to anyone looking to start their life here in the US.
