Mr. Valencia helped my mother draft her living trust and update her will after my father died, and…read morethen helped me settle the trust after my mother's death. I found him an excellent lawyer. He was clear about why the trust and powers of attorney could be useful, explained legal terms when we had questions, and was very good about checking with my mother about her intentions and goals and asking her about her wishes in situations she may not have thought about. His office was also really efficient - on days when we were signing papers, he had everything ready and a notary ready for us. He was also able to pull in an accountant with tax knowledge when we had questions about how to settle the trust. The process of creating the documents and settling the trust went much smoother than I expected, and his fees were both clear and reasonable. I was very grateful for his help and would recommend him without reservation.

Peter sincerely and carefully listened to what my husband's wishes were, asked pertinent questions, and made sure our Family Living Trust was what we wanted before it was finalized.

Lisa reviewed her trust and was able to fix all the issues. After that was taken care of, we asked her to do our trust. She listened to our very specific bequeaths, gave some feedback, and ran with it without trying to talk us out of it. We referred Lisa to several friends, and two got their trusts done with her before we finalized ours. They were also happy with her service.
