I had involuntarily been dragged into a particular nasty neighbor dispute. After attempting to…read morenegotiate peace and ultimately failing, I hired Elizabeth. This was the smartest action I should have taken from the beginning of this nightmare. Elizabeth is responsive, measured, honest, patient, a fierce advocate with a killer instinct in her legal strategy. She led me to the very best outcome (a huge win/win/win for me) after 2 years of fighting this on my own. If you have a nuisance neighbor, real estate or another matter closely related, do not hesitate to hire Ms. Brekhus (if you can get her- she is high in demand).

Elizabeth is absolutely the best Attorney in the business. I was given her name from my friend who…read moreis also an Atty. here in Marin. He didn't practice the type of Law I needed and he recommended Elizabeth. He assured me she was the best for how I needed to be represented. After our initial meeting Elizabeth took aver all correspondence and minimized my situation greatly. I was extremely worried when I walked into her office and relieved when I left. She is a gem and I will always consider myself lucky to have her on my side !!!

Wow. Estate planning. I don't know when it happened exactly, but I really feel like an adult now…read more I don't even own a home, but I did need a will & living trust & Thea educated me all about it. Her free workshop/seminar was sooo well worth it. Did I mention FREE? Even if you don't decide to use her or get your act together sooner than later with someone else, you will walk away learning something. This attorney rents out the Little Gym in Sausalito/Marin City & hires a sitter if you've got kids, so you can be engaged in her presentation without worrying about the tykes. (There were even yummy sandwiches, fruit & drinks catered. The way to this girl's heart is definitely through her belly!) If you choose to set up an appointment with Thea for a private consultation, you can get a coupon at the workshop. Check out: http://thealaw.com/ to see her next upcoming FREE events. Thea is a "real" person as is all of her staff I've met or talked to over the phone. She listens & isn't charging you by the hour, so you don't feel like you've got to rush. After all, you're discussing one of the most grown-up things you'll ever do. You shouldn't have to feel hurried making such big decisions. At least go to the seminar if nothing else, but I'll be surprised if you don't trust your estate planning (& more!) to this Law Office.

It's been a pleasure to do business with Patrick and Allie Etchebehere. They are super responsive,…read morehelpful, and thoughtful in the legal guidance they provide. They are easily accessible for appointments and quick turnaround on questions. They are also very warm people which is icing on the cake. In preparing legal documents, Patrick was thoughtful enough to provide a "cliff's notes" for the legalese-impaired. That allowed me to quickly navigate a lengthy legal document and make sense of all aspects of it.

I know I know, it's not a topic that everybody feels comfortable thinking - let alone talking - about, but we thought it would be good to plan ahead for the time when you or your partner will no longer be there. As I experienced in my own family, it's exactly this squeamishness that can cause a huge headache and potential family feuds in the future. Now, on to Paula herself Let me say this: Paula is great. I love the fact that she's so down-to-earth; she doesn't sit in a fancy office overlooking the Sausalito Marina as you might expect from someone who serves the rich Marin clientele. Also, although she certainly knows all the lawyer-lingua, she's using "real" language when talking to us. This is great, after all, the topic is already heavy enough... You may wonder how we heard about Paula Weaver in the first place? - In fact, our real estate agent, Candace Nordstrom, referred us to her. Plus, Paula's name also pops up constantly on Nextdoor discussion boards, when people are talking about estate planning lawyers in Marin county. And with so many hints, we simply had to pay her a visit. So - want to plan ahead and potentially prevent lots of headaches? - Go see Paula!

Phillip is a master at his craft (LAW) he responded with detail and strength he kept us apprised of our case and calmed all our fears. We believe that if it had not been for Phillip we would have had to pay a huge sum of money.

It is an emotional, frightening process but Phil will floor you with his meticulous preparation and attention to detail throughout your path to resolution, and it's remarkable for your representative to actually have such an elevated bedside manner, too-- we needed it, and upon resolution of the matter we consider him a friend. He's been around the block-- you'll receive incredible insight into likely options and phases of the process, and it meant the world to us to be able to have some expectations set as we sailed into foreign waters. We marveled at the quality of his communications with us and the other party, and he brings exemplary advocacy for your interests, with a wealth of stunningly clever and wise protections that will preserve your rights and seek only fair, advantageous compromises (if amicable closure is what you seek, that is... I wager if we'd wanted to draw out a protracted battle that Phil would've been the bulldog you'd always hoped to have in your corner). We can't recommend him highly enough, and welcome inquiries on his behalf if that would help your decision.

We were clients for over 15 years but suddenly Colin Kelly stopped following through and failed to…read moresend completed documents on a thumb drive despite my husband asking multiple times. When I emailed requesting a few simple changes to my trust and will Colin responded that he'd make them without asking what they were. When I asked for a phone conference, he sent some times, I selected a couple that would work, and I never heard back. I wrote him weeks later saying that I felt my Trust and related documents weren't receiving the attention I thought they deserved (I'd waited 4+ mos) and he said he'd send my files. But, that hadn't happened, either. He was tops! My husband, who was a trust attorney, thought Colin was incredible. But if you can't get service, his amazing knowledge and skills aren't helpful. We liked him very much. I hope he's moved on to bigger, wealthier clients. I just wish he'd been more graceful in handing off his long time steady clients.

David Macpherson is an attorney whose…read moreexpertise and knowledge combined with his temperament and well-thought out approach gets the job done efficiently and successfully. In a very short time, David met with me, prepared and filed a lawsuit for me, served the summons and complaint and went to mediation for several hours with both parties and settled my case! He did all of this without accepting anything less than we were willing to walk away with, and we were fully prepared to take it to court if necessary. The other party's intent was to complicate the case with so many irrelevant claims and inaccurate accusations so as to distract from the truth. After about 45 minutes of the other side's arguments, in less than three minutes, David quietly summed up the facts, the law and what the Court would do if the case did not settle. Two hours later, we left mediation with an enforceable agreement that was exactly what we had previously demanded. It gave me a great strength and confidence knowing that I had such an excellent attorney representing me and handling the case. If you are looking for a great attorney, you can trust that you don't have to look any further. I highly recommend hiring David to handle your case.

My family was charged for services with my mother that she did not agree to, they were able to bill without notifying us beforehand of the payments due. This is due to the powers my mother signed over to them to be used only in emergency but they were able to charge our accounts that they helped manage.
