I hired Jennifer Jaynes to handle my mother's trust administration. Jennifer expertly guided me and…read morethe trust administrators through all aspects of the case from start to finish. Jennifer created a clear plan from the outset and followed-though to completion with very little help from the administrators, who continuously raised non-issues, to put it mildly. Jennifer kept everyone on track. She gave us peace of mind by discussing and answering all of our questions clearly, concisely and authoritatively. Her professionalism was key in helping the administrators understand and fulfill their roles. Most impressive was Jennifer's ability to remember all of the facts, legal issues, timelines, next steps and other important details of the case. She made me feel like I was her most important client. Jennifer's credentials are on-point. She is recognized by the California State Bar as a specialist in Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Law. Specialist designation by the California State Bar requires demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge of the entire practice area. She holds an advanced law degree (LLM) in Taxation, which gives her the practical and theoretical knowledge needed to prepare, structure and administer trusts and estates while preserving wealth. I have been a successful, full-time, practicing attorney for over 30 years in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and can confirm that Jennifer is a superb attorney. She has my highest recommendation and respect.

I cannot recommend Michael Blackburg at Blacksburg Law enough. Estate planning can be a daunting…read moreprocess, but Michael made it incredibly approachable. From our first meeting, he was warm, friendly, and genuinely willing to spend as much time as we needed to understand the details. What impressed us most was his ability to think through scenarios we hadn't even considered. He didn't just fill out forms; he really looked at our specific situation and helped us plan for 'what-ifs' that were completely off our radar. If you are looking for an attorney who is thorough, patient, and a pleasure to work with, look no further than Michael.

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.

I can't believe I'm writing a good review for a lawyer!! Dave isn't what you think of when you…read morethink of an attorney - he's honest, compassionate, accessible and better than that, he knows his sh1t! We needed to split up an estate that was going NOWHERE with a couple of siblings that had been dragging this out for over a year. It would still be dragging on today if we hadn't engaged with Dave to get it sorted out. He skillfully negotiated the final agreement and managed to get everyone on the same page in just a couple of hours - and I have to say that his rate was fair, he didn't try to bleed us out of billable time, and actually advised us on what NOT to do so as to keep the costs down. What lawyer does that??? Dave does. If you need a Trust or Estate attorney just start with Dave and don't waste your time and money on someone who will just work you for billable hours. Thanks again Dave!

Dave Parnall was hired to help me in an estate litigation case to distribute assets to…read morebeneficiaries. I had never been involved in any type of litigation, but knew it would be expensive and time consuming. My biggest worry was how to navigate the legal maze, court system, and deal with opposing attorneys without stressing out and going broke. It was my good fortune to find Dave as my attorney who led me step-by-step through the entire case to conclusion over a 3-year period. After I established my goals for the case, he developed a strategy to attain them. No matter how complex events became, he remained focused on my goals. I really appreciated his efforts to avoid conflicts throughout the case, but was also willing to remove the gloves when it was necessary. Dave was a calming voice when things got heated in the case and clearly outlined my options at each stage of the litigation with their pro and cons. He was acutely aware of helping me keep the billable hours to a minimum by letting me do some of the leg work such as preparing statements, hiring appraisers, and contacting the beneficiaries. Dave consistently kept me up to date on the case and replied to my phone calls and emails within 24 hours or sooner. Can't say enough how I appreciate Dave's expert legal abilities and genuine empathy for me and my case.
