I scanned through Yelp and discovered Blacksburg Law and found the reviews very encouraging, and appreciated how robust and informative the firm's website was. I submitted an inquiry via Yelp and we were off to the races! The entire process was excellent and seamless, from first contact to final delivery of my estate plan. The team was incredible - professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. I greatly appreciated the team's use of technology -- from the intake questionnaire, Zoom meetings, client workspace portal, and remote notary. These tools made the entire process frictionless and allowed me to complete my "homework" even while traveling. I highly recommend Blacksburg Law for either creating your first estate plan or updating one that is overdue for a revision. Thank you Michael and Team!

He understood what I was going through and made me feel comfortable with my decisions. He spoke to me after hours within minutes of requesting a consultation.

He informed me of the next steps. Jason did so much when he didn't have to in order to ensure I understood the possible outcomes. When he had additional information about my case, he let me know immediately. I felt that he was honest and fair with his advice, expertise, and pricing. For anyone who needs assistance with any form of estate planning or issues, I fully recommend Jason. I am so glad I was referred to him!

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.

TL;DR? Jelena's a fantastic attorney who provides patient and informative guidance as you work…read morethrough an estate plan together. I was on the lookout for a new attorney to help me update a prior estate plan after getting married last year, having found my previous attorney well-informed, but not as communicative and articulate/descriptive as I would have liked for the answers I was seeking. I came across Jelena and several other attorneys through my legal insurance network, and after having had an initial chat with them all, found it pretty easy to move forward with her, having appreciated how well she communicated her ideas and suggestions, as well as the particular guidance path she recommended. A few forms and meetings later, my plan was done and updated, and seemingly (to my untrained legal eye) much more comprehensive than my prior one. After everything is complete, she'll send you docs that are easy to update as needed, as well as detailed instructions for any next steps needed to finish documenting/setting up your estate. Overall, she's a great attorney to work with, who's well-informed and willing to explain whatever you have questions about, but also very honest about when she doesn't know the answer to something, which she'll also quickly research and follow up with you on: something far more preferable than a professional that'd just pretend to know everything. Highly recommend!

After the initial…read morephone meeting, we provided her with documents through a secure online portal and within a few weeks we had the documents ready for review. During our appointment she took the time to explain the documents thoroughly, reviewed each document and addressed any additional questions and concerns and the execution process was quick and easy. She took care of preparing and coordinating recording our real estate documents and advised us of our next steps to funding our trust. We appreciated the time she spent with us, she is very easy to work with and is responsive to emails and knowledgeable. She is professional and an absolute joy to work with. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for an estate planning attorney. You are in good hands with Jelena!

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 couldn't understand and she kept deflecting . Anyway , for the vast majority of the day , we text back and forth , then she called saying she wanted to refer me to someone else because she hadn't filed this type of document before . I told her I wanted her to do it as I had already spent hours going back and forth about the logistics with her via phone and text. She called me back again around 8 pm last night , and we spoke for 1 hour and 8 min and we left off with her saying she'd do the forms and send me the ones I had to fill out . And she was supposed to connect with me today. All day I didn't hear from her. No explanation . No text . And when I called to inquire what was going on, she chose to not answer. She didn't even have the courtesy to let me know and now I have a deadline and I'm left in limbo. The unprofessional and unethical manner she handled this left me in a very bad position , with no way to get the documents I needed in time to be filed. Totally harmed me and didn't have the decency to call. I am very disappointed and can't believe someone in a professional position would do this and harm someone , especially knowing I was in a time crunch. She then sent me a text after my review, threatening me. I wrote back that I have the right to write a review of my experience. I would be very cautious in using this business for anything.
