Not only did she catch a few HUGE mistakes from the first attorney we used before we found Stepanie, but she advised us on several very important things to consider that we were never told about previously. She is VERY reasonably priced, and you get more than you pay for. Besides being a very talented, brilliant and capable trust attorney, Stephanie is also a wonder, intelligent and caring person. I've sent quite few people to her over the years and every single one of them has come back to me to thank me for the referral. My response is always the same - there is absolutely NO ONE else that I would trust with my trust, so why would I send you to anyone else. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Stephanie and the Montecito Law Group. They are the best and the only one to consider for handling your trust needs. Nuf' said

How unfortunate for me I did listen to Penner's counsel and I signed a stipulation which became an…read morecourt order. I learned it is illegal to negotiate a stipulation without the client taking part. After Penner I was unrepresented a few months before I had a new attorney. Penner's stipulation moved non trust assets into the trust which gave a bias trustee power over them. Because both parties and judge signed the stipulation it became set in stone - could not be modified. The one year statute of limitations on malpractice protects bad attorneys. A WARNING to others DO NOT SIGN anything your attorney asks you to sign - especially if they press you, scare you or hurry you. You have a lot of time to have one or two attorneys read it - there is no rush. So the lesson is to hire a second attorney to watch the first attorney to make sure they don't sabotage your case.

I came to Daniella halfway through my divorce, overwhelmed and outmatched. I was facing…read moreexperienced, aggressive opposing counsel, and I had been navigating the process largely on my own. By the time I found her, I was drowning in requests, pressure tactics, and paperwork designed to exhaust me into a bad settlement. Finding representation hadn't been easy -- three attorneys never called back or went silent after initial contact. When I finally walked into Daniella's office, something shifted. Her space is warm, beautiful, and distinctly her own -- and that first impression turned out to be a perfect reflection of how she practices. In our consultation, she was disarmingly honest. She knew opposing counsel well, had gone up against that firm many times, and gave me a clear-eyed picture of both what she could do and what the risks of trial actually look like. She told me plainly that courtrooms are unpredictable and expensive -- emotionally and financially -- and that the goal was a strong negotiated outcome. Her strategy was smart and psychologically astute. She advised me on approach, on tone, on what to prioritize for long-term stability. She is meticulous -- she caught multiple errors from the other side and kept pushing until they were corrected. Her fees were roughly half of what opposing counsel charged, and she was transparent and fair about costs throughout. Daniella guided me through one of the most difficult seasons of my life, and I felt like I was in good hands throughout. I ended up with an agreement I was truly happy with. I'm so grateful I found an attorney this competent, caring, and trustworthy.

She is very intelligent, patient, classy, empathetic, hard working and funny too. Her paralegal was extremely sweet and helpful and her partner Mr. Killen is a gentleman. She fought hard for me, but with class and dignity. I recommend her and her law firm 100% and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
