If I could give zero stars, I would My father passed away and these people have taken advantage of me. You know they charge by the hour. They charge me for phone calls because they were unclear and did that on purpose to confuse me. The initial consultation took an hour and 15 minutes, which the attorney continued to rabbleling on about a mistake that was made by the courts, they made a mistake on the address of one of the beneficiaries and did not resend the envelope .If you are grieving from the loss of a loved one, DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM!!!!. THEY WILL OVERCHARGE YOU AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR VULNERABILITY!!!!!! read more

I have talked to several probate attorneys and they have said it is expected and should not have to even be asked for. All of them have said that, what is more is local attorneys that know of staker law do not appear to like them much. There are additional issues, among them papers that are suppose to be provided by law are not. There are other issues that apparently kevin is not aware of. The estate that we are speaking of was my father's, which he had told me from the start he was doing all of it so I would have a large estate. In addition it is not just what I mentioned there are violations of state law going on that are going to be addressed one way of the other, do not fool yourself mr. staker. You do not know this as I do. I can't give it a minus 0, if I could I would. In addition, my dad did not trust attorneys because he said most of them he felt were not honest. I would bet, if I were to do that, that you did not know that as you don't know much about what it going on. I also have now a constant problem with someone causing problems with my computers and internet, I certainly hope you have nothing to do with it. In additon to all of this, they say they have not received letters sent to them even when they are sent certified mail. Not just myself but other relatives are having the same issue with staker law. On the other hand people that may have influence on individuals involved have serious criminal records, but staker law does not seem to think that is a problem. They also don't seem to know that by law they are required to notify the beneficiaries and they don't. It states that in the instrument, the will, and it is required by state law. They not doing what they are suppose to do. One of staker's assistants does not seem to think that is important, that is the will, the law, or the named beneficiaries. Those, just those issues are violations, and there are many issues. They say they will get in touch, but they never do. Do not be fooled, this is not a good firm. Some of the issues are felonies, how I know is I looked it up. But staker law does not seem to think that is a problem. read more

I needed help and some important questions regarding the trust of a recent loved one who passed. Other attorneys suggested calling Staker as he is the attorney who drafted the original trust documents. On three occasions I called and the receptionist took my information and assured me I would get a phone call back soon. It has been months and still yet to receive any call back. On each call, she would ask me the same questions as if she never noted in the calls prior. I am disappointed in the lack of responsiveness. I truly felt that they did care. They mailed solicitations to my deceased loved one, but now that she is no longer living....my business wasn't welcomed? Just happy I found another local attorney in Camarillo to help me during a time of great need. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this law firm, and it's staff. I contacted Kevin within days of my mother in law passing away with no trust or will. His office came highly recommended to me by several friends. We were lost what to do going forward with her estate process and property and we knew we would be faced with probate. Kevin responded immediately, got us in the office and had papers filed within days to get Letters of Administration so we could take control of the estate to move forward. His paralegal, Rebecca was amazing- answered questions by email when needed and on top of things! With probate now done, we then used the firm to do our own estate planning in which we had a smooth process with Kevin and Cece from beginning to end! They work amazing as a team to make your appointments smooth, and easy to understand. I encourage everyone now to be sure to have a trust, advanced health care directive and would recommend Staker-Johnson Law Firm to anyone needing estate planning services or a attorney for probate processes if you are ever faced with that situation. read more

My husband and I had been putting off getting a trust for many, many years. I was referred to Kevin Staker by my co-worker, whom she deemed to be very honest, kind and knowledgeable. Upon meeting Mr. Staker, we found this to indeed be the case. He was very thorough and the process was so easy and painless that I wish I had known about him years ago! Everyone in his office with whom we dealt was helpful and professional. My husband and I highly recommend this office. read more

I unexpectedly lost my mom the beginning of the year and being unsure of where to start or what to do, I reached out to a family attorney friend who referred me to StakerLaw. I've been working with Brandon and Rebecca and they have been awesome through the whole process. Up front they explained how things work and what to expect and they've always been available for any questions. They were able to advise me on how to best handle her assets and debts and have provided me with updates through the process. This all occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic and we were able to do everything electronically, which I always prefer. Being in my early 30s, what happens to me when I get sick or injured or what happens to my "stuff" after I die isn't something I've thought about. However, after seeing first hand the difficulties when you don't plan for that, I wanted to make sure my family and I were prepared. Brandon and Jessica helped me and my wife with a trust, wills and appropriate medical documents so we're both taken care of if something happens. We even got our in-laws to give them a call so now the whole family is set! I've loved working with StakerLaw and know that if I ever need anything in the future, they'll be my first call! read more

This review is for Brandon and Jessica, who both guided my mom and I through two family trusts during a difficult period. They were encouraging and easy to work with. Thank you both for sharing your expertise with my family! read more

We worked with Sasha Collins from Staker Law to draft our will, trust and help us sort out some complicated issues in regards to our 5 children from a blended family.

My wife and I worked with Brandon Johnson to set up our trust, pour over wills, advanced healthcare directives and financial powers of attorney. I am a trust and estate litigation attorney so (1) I know many estate planning attorneys and (2) have seen many flawed estate plans result in expensive litigation. I can tell you with confidence that you are not going to find a higher quality estate planner than Mr. Johnson and his fees are very reasonable. We are very pleased. read more

We had our wills/trusts/directives done with Staker Law and couldn't be happier. They made the process so easy and took the time to answer our questions. I felt I could call at any time if I needed clarification and the entire process was pretty straightforward/quick and painless. We worked directly with Brandon Johnson and his assistant, Jessica. I couldn't say enough nice things about them. I felt like they really covered our bases and followed up to make sure everything was buttoned up tightly not to mention putting my mind at ease. I feel much more secure now that my family is taken care of. read more

TOP RESOURCE FOR TAX AND ESTATE PLANNING StakerLaw--Ventura County's top tax and estate planning firm--And Kevin Staker are my go to source for those things I know are important, but would procrastinate handling without trustworthy, ethical, understandable legal advice. Kevin Staker's involvement in Ventura County's legal and public service communities has always been an inspiration. He has willingly donated so many resources and--more telling of his character--so much of his time to serve whenever asked. I've relied on Kevin Staker's knowledge and experience for over thirty years. Frankly, I wouldn't have been able to retire in a legally confident, financially secure position without him... read more

Explained in great detail what my concerns were regarding my fathers' trust. Was promised all sorts of actions in return. Couldn't have been more disappointed in the service I received. Spent thousands, maybe I misunderstood what was being promised. Shop around, read reviews, try not to let your personnel emotions dictate decisions and know when to terminate your legal representation. I learned a lot from this mistake. read more

After a telephone contact from Mr. Staker followed up by a written note I want to present this update. Mr. Staker, without any evasion, passing the buck, or equivocation owned exactly what happened to me as stated in my review. His upright honesty and actual thankfulness for me calling him out in this matter was surprising and impressive. With that said I believe that the communication within the firm will be greatly improved. When a paralegal is put into the actual position of the attorney with a client naturally the client assumes that they are acting in their interest only. If the paralegal sees her allegiance to the employer, her attorney and to make his job easier then things can easily go awry as they did in my case. This is my assessment. As I clearly stated Mr Staker did not lay the blame on anyone else. He owned it which is why I trust him now and recommend him to my kids as a need arises. read more
