Probate. After the…read moredeath of a loved one, I had missed an important account with an online brokerage firm (I won't name names) and they were making it difficult for me to get the funds meant for me. They were insisting on Probate which is a long and expensive process. I found Catherine Blakespear through a friend. Money well spent. She solved my problem in one week. During my initial consult with her and her partner, they explained all aspects and possibilities of my situation and were clear and specific about fees. Her office is in Del Mar with easy parking. She works in a practice with several attorneys which is a plus for a broader knowledge base. Catherine is a pleasant person to work with and promptly responds to emails and calls. She turned a difficult situation into a positive. Here is her bio. I'm an estate planning attorney who specialized in helping people with all aspects of transferring property at death. I draft wills and trusts. I do probates. I help people with estate administration and asset transfers that are difficult or complicated. Together with my law partner, Tricia A. Smith, we have a particular expertise in real property and the myriad issues related to transferring property within families. I attended Northwestern University, as did Tricia.

No one is better at representing people who suffered at the hands of law enforcement, whether widows and children or a guy locked in a room for five days by the DEA. He knows when to use his superpowers and when not to. And he is well-liked or at least well-respected by judges and prosecutors. That goes a long way in smoothing the road ahead.He is one of a small handful I'd ask to represent me. He doesn't tout his firm's pro bono work, but he has carried cases for bereaved families for years at his own cost and didn't take a cent. His law partner, Julia Yoo, works the same way and is cut from the same cloth.

I called the office and the woman who answered the phone advised I needed my membership number and to call back with that information. I did so and we exchanged some basic information about me needing to remove names off a quitclaim deed. I was told to email a copy of the deed and some basic information about whose names will be removed and that some information could be done before we met in person. She explained that he was busy for the next day or two and I said it wasn't urgent and that I would send the information. 30 minutes later she called back to say he's going to decline my service. He's busy for next week or two. I said it's not urgent. She says he has family matters to take care of and will not be taking on our case. No offer to proceed with this matter in a week or two just that he didn't basically want our business. Perhaps he only wants first party paying clients and that was what I told her because that is certainly how it seems. He shouldn't be affiliated with MetLife if he is going to refuse certain business..

If you're looking for an honest, dedicated and dependable attorney, Howard Burns is the attorney…read morefor you! His knowledge of the laws and ability to communicate how the laws apply to your situation are unsurpassed. In the past Howard Burns helped me with several complicated tenant issues. He provided me proffesional counsel I knew I could trust. When I later found myself in need of legal representation, I felt very fortunate to, once again, benefit from his services. Recently I needed a tenant lease with special requirements. After patiently listening, Howard Burns presented me with my options and his advice. He then developed an Addendum that effectively modified the lease with my specific requirements. He took the time to explain, page by page, the terms of the lease and Addendum. He communicated in a way I could easily and thoroughly understand. Howard Burns is exceptionally accessible. He promptly responded to all of my emails and phone calls. He was always understanding and patient and never made me feel rushed. During the whole process, I felt well informed and protected. He also saved me money! For anyone looking for excellent legal representation at a fair price, I highly recommend the services of Howard F. Burns. He has exceptional integrity and truly cares about his clients.

Mr Howard Burns helped me evict my tenant. From start to finish it all went as Mr Burns said it…read morewould. My eviction was a complicated one (at least for me) with many other legal matters thrown into the mix. Howard knowledgably answered all my questions in a timely manner and kept my mind at ease. After educating myself on the eviction process I chose the lawyer route (AKA Mr Burns) over the many other strait eviction companies because he could give me legal advise. Whereas those others cannot. That and, if I had to seek damages after the fact Howard could handle that process as well. And again, whereas the eviction companies cannot. I keep mr Burns number handy in case I need him in the future.

I was the plaintiff and had…read moresued my insurance company because they refused to pay what I felt was a claim that should have been covered. Fortunately, the case was decided in my favor. I was impressed by Judge Gross. He seemed to understand the case quite well. He read my statement and my witness' statement carefully. In fact, I think he read the statement from the witness at least twice. He asked both of us pertinent and relevant questions. Obviously, I was glad that the case was decided in my favor, but I felt that the Judge was neutral and unbiased and that he had an excellent understanding of the facts of the case, even though it lasted a relatively short time. We were originally assigned a Judge Pro Tem and the insurance company objected. Nothing against the other Judge, but they may have done me a favor.
