We found Alex from yelp reviews and was surprised to see ALL positive reviews!! After first meeting with her via zoom, it's a no brainer why she has all positive reviews. She is beyond awesome. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and concerns. She explained all the details very clearly, which we had no idea about regarding will and trust. Highly recommend Alex! read more

My parents recently finished processing their living trust at Varela's law office. I looked for months for a trustworthy and Spanish speaking attorney to help my parents with their living trust. I finally made an appointment, took my parents. Alex, spoke to my parents about what the living trust is about. And they decided to do it. And the whole experience was worth it. Alex and her team are very helpful and detailed. They guide us on what we had to do on our part. We are grateful and completely recommend Alex and her team in doing a living trust in her office. Thank you Varela's law team. Thanks Alex. read more

She spent a lot of time with us! I can't believe how lucky we were to put our family's estate planning in the care of Alex Varela and her wonderful staff. Alex is focused more on quality than quick turn around visits. This proved to be so worthwhile as she spent hours with my family including some good laughter. I felt peace leaving my family in their hands. Their staff were so caring in getting us a quick appointment for our first visit and the office had cozy vibes, coffee, and candy. As a Realtor, I recently heard a horror story with one probate attorney that never picks up the phone and it seems my client's living trust may have never been recorded. NOT HERE! Alex's team got the recordings done for our family's property in a timely manner! But it doesn't stop there, her office still communicates with my family offering helpful webinars or newsletters about estate planning. You can never learn enough, you know! Save yourself the trouble by avoiding the unreliable attorneys and check out this place instead. read more

Do you ever read Yelp reviews and wonder how somebody can possibly have such a perfect score? Well, once you have had a chance to meet Alex and her staff you will understand exactly why she gets a 5 star rating every time! My wife and I needed to restate our family trust documents that were created about 18 years earlier when our children were very young. Now grown into full adults, amongst other life changing events, it was time for a review and update. We used Yelp as part of the process for whittling down the applicant pool. The first firm we chose to interview was Varela Law just because the reviews were that good. As it turned out we needed to look no further. We made an excellent choice first time! My wife had an instant connection with Alex and knew she was the right person within the first five minutes of our interview. My wife was even brought to tears as they shared a personal story. Alex is bright and articulate and a very accomplished professional. As her legal experience developed she honed in on family law and is a champion for children's charities, and in particular charities to help foster children. This woman has a heart of gold. Alex explained all the differences from our old revocable trust to the new laws today and developed a plan based on current law and statute. Through the process she guided us through all the steps necessary to restate our trust and place all of our important belongings into it. She provides you with an individually secure portal to communicate with her and allows you to pass documents back and forth with out risk of compromise for any of your meaningful or personal information. As you work with Alex during the process you see what a truly beautiful and dedicated person she is. Not only to her family, but yours as well. This woman cares about what she does. Alex will help protect your family from the probate process and the wolves that may be after your families and children's inheritance. Finally, Alex still reaches out to her clients on a regular basis through email about legislative changes in family law and so on, keeping us all up to date. It's not a one and done when your documents have been finalized and delivered. You are a client for life at Varela Law. Thank you Alex and to all of your staff at Varela Law. You continue to impress and we couldn't be happier to have you in our corner! read more

We first contacted Alex and her firm in a moment of desperation after my father's passing. And she and her team were able to support us through what was an incredibly painful and difficult time in our lives. So when the time came for us to do our own estate planning to make sure our family was protected from an experience like that, there was no question. We called Alex. Her process was incredibly clear and well thought out. We felt assured that the process of building our living trust would protect all that we had worked to build, but more importantly protect our kids, both in the short and long term. Fast forward 3 years and we still communicate with questions about assets and how to best plan our finances to make sure we're protected under our trust. And she is always quick with a response. We've referred numerous friends and colleagues to do their estate planning with her, and their experiences were equally positive. We HIGHLY recommend you work with her! read more

My wife and I have had the great pleasure to get to know Alex and Nancy and the rest of the team at Valera law the last couple months and we could not recommend them more for all of your estate planning needs.

I promise you will be in good hands. read more

Varela Law is an honest and reliable firm that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for trust/estate planning. Alex is a dedicated professional and provides excellent and detailed work.

It took me close to a year to convince my siblings to place my mother's home in a trust. I knew the only way I would be successful was to get our mother involved. Therefore, I needed to find a Trust Attorney who spoke Spanish because my mother doesn't have a proficient grasp of the English language. It was important to me that she understood what was involved and how this was going to positively impact her and her estate. I am glad to have found Ms. Alex Varela--a Spanish speaking Trust Attorney. She was very patient with our mother explaining everything to ensure that she understood. We were able to FaceTime with my siblings (who live out of state) to include them in the discussion. I highly recommend Ms. Varela to assist you with your estate planning needs. read more

I highly recommend this firm, as I am a very detail-oriented professional, and can say that Varela Law Firm along with all their team members exceeded my expectations by far. My husband and I had the best experience, Alex is very knowledgeable, professional, patient, genuinely kind, and super smart! I had so many questions and through multiple team members, I received a response for every single question. In addition, we learned about adult adoption through the firm and are now pursuing that direction through our family, it was just a win-win situation all around. It was nice to meet with someone multiple times, this helped us understand the process and complete it thoroughly. We look forward to future meetings, as the firm schedules this to review the estate plan and to see if any further updates or changes are needed. I just want to thank Alex, Stephanie, Tammy, and anyone else I left out, as I can't say enough about the exceptional experience we had with the Varela Law Firm! read more

I reached out to this firm with a quick legal question about an estate planning topic. Varela Law called me and spent over 15 minutes consulting on the issue by phone. Varela Law provided clear, direct and actionable legal advice that put my worries to ease. At the end of the call, I asked how much I owed The attorney told me not to worry about it. She said there was no reason to drag me in and have me pay when she can address my question quickly by phone. Varela Law just earned a lifelong customer. read more

I can't recommend Alex and her staff enough. They were all very patient and thorough when handling my mom's trust. We felt very safe and secure with our experience. Laying out a trust or will can be a very stressful thing for a family, but we didn't feel an ounce of it with the Varela Law team. Thank you Alex!! read more

I don't normally write Yelp Reviews, but I just feel compelled to give Alex Varela and her wonderful team an excellent review. She and her team have gone above and beyond to help us! We feel truly blessed to have found this wonderful company, and we highly recommend her and her team to anyone needing a trust or other estate services. Her prices are very reasonable and it doesn't just stop at the one service you pay for. She goes above and beyond after the service has been done to provide you with ongoing support for any questions you might have or clarifications you might need without nickel and diming you for every question, like many attorneys do. Additionally, she has helped with providing recommendations and referrals for CPA's, financial planners, and even other attorneys that specialize in other areas of the law like business planning. I just can't say enough positive things about Alex Varela and her team! I would highly recommend them for estate planning. You will not be disappointed. :) read more

A huge weight off my shoulders has been lifted since finalizing our trust with Varela Law in August of last year. We sat in our first meeting with Alex and she was so patient as we asked a million questions and as I cried through just the thought of having to make difficult decisions for our children and putting pen to paper. Alex educates you along the way. We were guided through the processes of putting assets into the trust and we even received a follow up call months later to make sure everything was funded in the trust. I really appreciate them being so on top of the most critical part. read more

My dad and I searched for an attorney who met our Living Trust needs. After meeting Alex, she made us feel like she was a family member representing us. She is well knowledge in the area of family law. When she took on our case, she handled it with the utmost care and integrity. She is kind and caring and an absolute pleasure to work with. She looked out for our interest, and is proactive in making sure that our situation was handled accordingly. You will not be disappointed in having her as an attorney. I cannot express our gratitude for all she has done for us. Thank you Alex! read more

My wife and I worked with Alex in setting up our family trust. She was professional, easy to work with and obviously passionate about what she does. She was always organized and did a great job of patiently explaining the entire process. We met with her a total of 4-5 times and each time we met with her I never felt rushed. She does a good job of giving you her attention and making you feel valued. 100% recommend. read more

My husband and I knew that we needed to get our trust and the guardians of our children in writing so there was no issues if something was to happen. I knew VERY little about all things related to estate planning. I had a friend refer me to Alex, and I'm so glad she did! Alex walked us through the process and helped us every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for planning. I even referred her to some family members because I was so pleased with our experience. She's just very knowledgeable on the different topics, and it shows! read more

We had been searching for a Will and Trust Attorney for over a year or two. Our situation was that we had not updated our Will and Trust for over 15 years. I personally interviewed over 4 different attorneys and was not sure I would ever find someone I would feel confident could get the job done right. Alex and her office staff were exactly what I was looking for. Alex is beyond professional in dealing with any given personal situation. She takes her time and explained the very complex legal steps that need to be taken to get everything in order. Getting our family affairs in order has definitely given me peace of mind for my children and extended family. We highly recommend this office and amazing staff. Thank you for all of your help, We already miss seeing you! read more

Alex is the sweetest, most kind, caring person! We were so thankful to have her put together our Trust, pour over will and our children's protection plan. We are a young family, and had so many questions, and not much clue what we were doing, but Alex made the process so easy and flawless. We are a young, busy family and she was just so wonderful at accommodating our needs, and taking us step by step through the process. She truly loves, and values her work and her clients. We felt she truly invested in us, and cared whole heartedly about getting our family's assets and future set and secure. Her staff is wonderful, so kind and pleasant. We highly recommend Alex and her staff! They truly are the best there is! - The Erickson Family read more

Let me just start by saying... LOOK NO MORE. Stop right there and just call this office. Make your appointment. Lisa booked my appointment and followed through with all beginning stages prior to my meeting. No delays, very quick. SUUPER polite and professional. I went to the meeting today, met Alex, and whaat? she didnt make me feel I was in a law office. I felt like I was talking to family but yet she was thinking the unthinkable, asking the right professional questions in a sincere way. Was super careful with her words, and so thorough with her explanations. I searched for a trust attorney from Google to Yahoo to referrals from friends of friends, with numerous quick intro calls, none of them felt sincere or followed up. Its very scarce to find an attorney these days that actually... care. I am very very pleased with Alex and her humane professionalism. You can tell the character of an attorney by seeing their staff. Her staff were also, very friendly and caring. 100% recommend! read more

Alex is the best of the best and came highly referred! Best trust lawyer in the biz! I have recommended her to all my friends and am happy she helped me with my trust. read more

Alex and her team are amazing! We hired Varela Law for our Trust and it has been an amazing experience! They are all very responsive, kind, understanding & clear in their responses. From the initial contact to set the appointment, I was provided with what I can expect next and they delivered. Alex is so easy to talk to. She took her time to explain not only what everything was, but why it was. She gave us questions to think about, held our hand through the entire process and answered all of our questions. Alex has a way of explaining things that would otherwise be complex and daunting in a clear manner, making it easy to understand and digest. Nancy and Lisa have been a pleasure to speak to. They are always kind, responsive and very helpful. Varela Law has set the bar for the level of service and customer experience everyone should expect from all businesses. read more

As a parent, thinking about our immortality and everything that may take place after we have passed can often seem daunting and a topic we often simply want to avoid- this was the case with my husband and I. For years we considered setting up a Trust, yet never really felt at ease with anyone we spoke to on the subject of setting up our estate. However, Alex, and her team, made the process of setting up our trust so easy, smooth, and transparent. From our initial consult to our final meeting of the process, Alex's kind demeanor and genuine care for our family's needs was at the forefront of our interactions, and her guided her work. If at any point, my husband or I had any questions, Alex (or a member of her team) were readily available for any clarification- and always with much kindness. Words cannot begin to express the peace of mind I now have from having worked with Alex to establish our family's Trust. I would very highly recommend Alex to anyone considering setting up a Trust for their own family. Alex, thank you so much for being such a kind, honest, diligent, organized and thorough professional. You are genuinely a pleasure to work with. read more

I highly recommend Varela Law! Alex is professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She made our living trust experience easy and explained all the details to us thoroughly. I also found Varela Law on Yelp and I'm glad I listened to the reviews! 5 stars all the way, thanks Alex!! read more

We were introduced to different lawyers through my friends over the years but never got impressed with their presentations. We found her through reviews we saw on internet and were extremely happy. She spent a lot of hours with us in meeting and her own for preparation. At the end, we noticed that she enjoyed doing her work were very impressed with her work. Today, I got an 1 year follow up call on few things I was supposed to take care. Then they will follow up with me 3 year follow up meeting even at no charge!! Her charge was very reasonable as well. If we knew this, we would have done this much sooner read more

I had a quick question and they referred to the correct type of lawyer for my question right away.

We selected Varela Law when it was finally time to have our estate plan set up. I asked around for recommendations, even sat through an initial meeting with another law frim, but was never really happy with their suggestions. Did an initial phone call to determine our needs and wants and set up an in person appointment. We had a number of properties, bank accounts, and other items we needed put into the estate and all was taken care of. Alex Varela was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining what we needed and why. The plan came out great and is very well prepared and professional. When ever I have a question about it, their responses are quick and accurate. I would highly recommend Alex Varela and Varela Law. She also recommended a Tax Consultant that turned out to be great. read more

Alex was amazing with our family trust process. Very thorough as well as empathetic. She knew exactly what we needed and guided us every step of the process.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a trust & estate lawyer! read more

Alex set up a living trust for us and she was a thorough professional. Friendly, smart and detail oriented, she explained all our options to us and from the first online consult to completion she guided us extremely well. Cannot recommend Alex and her team enough! read more

Alex Varela is an exceptional attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive to her clients. I had the pleasure to meet and work with Alex when my parents were looking for a attorney to complete their living trust. My parents are hearing impaired which at times requires more time and patience when explaining very complex details. Alex took her time to ensure my parents understood the process and documents they signed, by hiring a sign language interpreter. I cannot emphasize the importance of estate planning. Everyone needs to have a plan for the unpredictable. Unfortunately, my father passed away about 6 months after my parents completed their living trust. During such a emotional and difficult time it was a relief knowing there was a plan and his assets were protected. If you have assets, no matter how much or how little, an estate plan is one of those things that should not be put off if you want to reduce stress and financial worry for your family during a difficult time. Estate planning is the best way to protect your family and preserve your assets. I would recommend Alex to everyone. You will Never find a better person and attorney. Tricia Ibrahim read more

We will definitely recommend Alex to our family and friends, and strangers like you who is reading all these raving reviews ! read more
