I was referred to Owen Rassman at Opelon LLP by my financial planner, and it turned out to be an excellent recommendation. From the very beginning, Owen was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to explain each step of the trust-planning process clearly and thoughtfully, which made everything feel manageable and straightforward. We began with a couple of Zoom meetings, which were convenient and efficient, and later met in his office to finalize and sign all of the paperwork. Owen also helped me set up a pet trust for my dog, which was especially important to me. He approached that with the same care and attention as every other detail, and I always felt comfortable asking questions. His expertise and calm manner gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly. His assistant, Satori, was also a pleasure to work with. She was consistently professional, organized, and responsive to emails and questions as we finalized the documents, which helped keep the process moving smoothly. When I met with Owen in person, the office experience was comfortable and efficient. We were able to sign and notarize all of the documents at once, which made it easy to take care of everything in a single visit. Working with Owen was a very positive experience. His professionalism, responsiveness, and clear communication made the entire process feel manageable and reassuring. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and trustworthy attorney to help you create a living trust, I highly recommend Owen Rassman and Opelon LLP. read more

My sister and I were Co-Trustees of my Mom and Dad's Estate. We were flailing and had little confidence in the La Jolla Estate Lawyer that Mom and Dad had for 30 years. With a single phone call, Owen guided us through our process and then in an office visit gave us advise on an issue we had with the estate distribution and subsequent tax filings. My husband passed away suddenly, we had started our will and living trust with another law firm but circumstances did not allow us to complete the documents. Owen assisted me with all the papers I had to accumulate and gave me a precise list of To Do's in order to complet my will, Power of Attorney and get all necessary assets into my trust. I have every confidence that Owen will assist my heirs so that in my passing the distributions will be one less thing they will have to arrange. read more
