The worst expensive Lawyer we have ever hired ! He had no fight he threw in towel before it was…read moreeven dry ! He will not fight for you We hired him because i seen his reviews saying he would fight for us . If i had seen at least one review saying he was the worse lawyer , we would've never hired him . So please don't waste your time or money hiring him . He had to pay to take off the bad reviews. Because all the ones i read say he's the best and he's the best . We were so disappointed he would always try to talk us out of what we hired him to do . I honestly believe he should not be in this profession. So please if there is one bad review it's because it is . He really failed our family .... I honestly would not give him No Stars!!!! But here is one so that people see why I rated him one so they can read my review and bad experience with Mr. Baines

Kenea and Cindy were incredibly amazing to work with and guided me through all things probate…read more Kenea is very polite and professional and was able to meet all our expectations. It was a long process but she made it very easy and was always available to answer any questions big or small. At the time she too herself was going through a very difficult time, but never lost track of my needs, court dates or deadlines. I highly recommend using their services as you will not be disappointed! My husband and I intend on going back to create our own trust and will.

If I am paying an attorney for their services I expect this services to rendered in full. He likes to hear himself talk and is extremely condescending. He wants to do very little work for his high fees. Go see someone else if you want your monies worth were going to. Just for the record we are reporting this so called attorney to the state bar and to the better business bureau. I really think they should stop giving licenses to anyone who can pass the bar, it certainly does not make them fit to practice law, such as this brainless moron. Sharice McDonald

Outdated and Underwhelming - Not Suited for Serious Planning…read more If you are accustomed to the speed, precision, and forward-thinking expertise required for complex financial planning in places like the Bay Area, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This attorney's practice feels like a legal time warp, and frankly, I was shocked by the lack of professionalism and modern competence. The entire process was painfully slow. Responses to simple emails took days, and his advice on handling modern assets--like founder stock, complex LLC structures, or even just high-value digital assets--was bafflingly vague and seemed rooted in probate law from 2000. We are in 2025, sir. It's clear this firm operates in a bubble where a simple will and trust for a single-family home is considered "complex." They simply do not possess the necessary sophistication or urgency to deal with the high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional financial realities that professionals in San Francisco or Silicon Valley face. His boilerplate documents and hesitant manner would be laughed out of a downtown SF office. Bottom line: What might pass for acceptable, relaxed-pace counsel in Modesto is a non-starter for anyone requiring true, detail-oriented estate strategy. This attorney would not survive a week in a competitive market. Save your money and the headache; find counsel that understands modern wealth, not just small-town bureaucracy.

We had a very disappointing experience working with Attorney, Pablo Tagre regarding my elderly…read moreparents' living trust. He initially met with them, we provided all the requested documents promptly, and he asked for a deposit, which we paid. He confirmed receipt of the deposit in a follow-up email, and after that... nothing. Since the beginning of November, we have sent multiple emails requesting updates and called numerous times, leaving voicemails each time. It is now February, and we have not received a single response. No status update, no draft documents, no explanation -- just complete silence. This lack of communication is extremely concerning, especially when dealing with important legal matters for elderly people who are relying on professional guidance. At minimum, we expected basic professionalism and timely communication. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we cannot recommend his services.

My brother has medical issues and when his wife died he wanted to put his estate in order for his…read morechildren. He first got a lawyer in Modesto who was non responsive after receiving his retainer. Part of the problem might have been my brother's mental condition. However, we decided that to go on with this lawyer would be problematic. After a search online, we found Kimberly Grey at Dickerson Law in Oakdale, CA and in very close vicinity. She was very personable and considerate: She set up a quick appointment which we were able to provide all the information necessary and she was very helpful in advising my brother of his legal choices and possibilities. Within a week, his trust was created and signed. Kimberly even came to my brother's house to have the papers signed, even though we had expected to go to her office. Both my brother and I were very happy with her demeanor, work and helpfulness. We have no problem referring her to friends and family or going back for any other legal issues!

Welp, anyways; they are horrible with communication and downright make you feel like they are avoiding/ignoring you.

Then, it was crickets.
