I got a recommendation from two friends who used the same attorney in the Santa Clara Valley. I wanted to support local Scotts Valley businesses. I found Ashley Thompson on Yelp and made a phone call. It was one of the best business decisions that I have ever made. We had a telephone interview, which explained the process to us. We decided on a revocable trust. We met with Ashley 3 times. Ashley explained the process and cost at the 1st meeting. Everything went exactly as was explained to us. There were no surprise. There were no additional expenses. I had one question before our final meeting. I called and spoke to her assistant, who got back to me with the answer in a timely fashion. We are very thankful that we found such a competent local business.

I conducted research online to determine who I should go to and who was the best fit for me. Happily, I found attorney Lisa Chan. She went above and beyond my expectations. From my first phone call to meeting her and completing the Advanced Healthcare Directive, my entire experience with her was wonderfully positive. Her rate is very reasonable in the Bay Area. She was very patient in listening to and answering all of my concerns and questions​ and offered professional guidance on areas I was unfamiliar with. It is evident that she is very knowledgeable about her practice. I can feel that she truly cares about her clients and treats them with respect and dignity. I will definitely be returning to Lisa for future services and highly recommend her.

I ended up so frustrated at her incompetence that I finally just got the PDFs from her to finish it up myself months later, after so much frustration on my part which I really tried not to show her. And now she won't finalize them nor will she follow up on her promise to notarize them. She said I'm a "big girl" and I can finish it ! So she's not willing to fulfill her end of the contract . We're going to have to go to small claims court so I'm not going to write much more now, but I'm happy to share all the mistakes, & repeated major errors that she made throughout the process , and false promises.

Her guidance helped us better understand the risks involved and gave us the confidence to make a more informed decision. Throughout the process, Catalina was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely focused on helping us rather than simply closing a transaction. We truly appreciated her honesty and expertise. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. I would not hesitate to work with Catalina again in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy real estate attorney.

Well..... I don't know what to say here. I almost didn't write this review, but after the call I…read morejust had, I felt like I should. I gave 3 stars because this review isn't of his accounting skills (which I won't have the chance to experience), but rather his customer service, so I tried to be fair. After reading the great reviews I tried to call today to see if Tim might be a good fit for our business and 2 families that own the business. When he picked up the phone it sounded like I interrupted him. I asked if it was a good time to talk. He was a bit short-sounding in his response, so reading that, I asked if there might be a better time to connect. Again, the reply was short in tone and certainly not what I was looking for in a person who would be this important in our lives. I am happy he seemingly has enough business, but I guess we will have to continue our search.

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.
