Elizabeth was very thorough and efficient when helping us with our estate planning. We had a child on the way so she went the extra mile to expedite the process to ensure all of our documents would be ready before the baby arrived! She was able to explain complex legal concepts to us in a way that we could understand and was very patient with our questions. We definitely recommend her services!

My experience working with Elizabeth was excellent. She is well organized, explains everything clearly and is meticulous in her preparation, planning and execution. She listens and adapts to your particular circumstances while at the same time providing clear counsel. She was very flexible with her meeting schedule, offering both remote and in-person meetings. I highly recommend her services.

I have worked with Elizabeth Johnson for many years and her attention to detail and clear understanding of Estate Planning never ceases to amaze me. Recently, I found myself in probate court and needed to urgently update my estate plan. Elizabeth sprang into action and was able to work quickly and efficiently. Elizabeth clearly has an impressive depth of knowledge in Estate Planning and was able to explain every step clearly and concisely. Her ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear and understandable terms is truly commendable. What impressed me the most was the professionalism and poise she showed when discussing the harder topics such as what to do in the event of my demise. Elizabeth was there to listen with compassion, and I am confident she was able to translate my wishes into the necessary legal documents. Throughout the entire process Elizabeth demonstrated exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. Her patience and willingness to address any concerns I had were invaluable, allowing me to make informed decisions with clarity and confidence. Having a professional of her caliber in my corner has given me a sense of peace and calm during a tumultuous time. I would highly recommend Elizabeth Johnson for anyone in need of estate planning services.

Elizabeth is an excellent lawyer. My husband and I had an old trust that we knew needed to be updated, but we never found the right person to help us. After my husband died, I realized I needed to revise the trust for my family. My good luck led me to Elizabeth. Besides her knowledge of trusts, wills, and related issues, Elizabeth is patient and kind. She took care of all details related to my husband's death, updated our trust, helped me write a new will, and provided a wealth of accompanying information and materials. From the beginning, everything was clearly and patiently explained. Elizabeth understood the dynamics of our family and gently offered advice that helped me make important decisions. Although planning for an event you will not be attending could be depressing, Elizabeth makes sure it isn't. You come away with a big book about your life with detailed plans for your family. These are not just directions but notes and forms that go beyond the usual trust. Your family will thank you!

My husband and I have been clients of Elizabeth Johnson for over 9 years. She’s thorough, professional yet friendly, and a joy to be around. Elizabeth wrote our original 2014 Trust and 2023 updates. In addition, Elizabeth’s expertise has most recently guided me through administering a cherished relative’s trust. I couldn’t have done it without her. Elizabeth is an expert.

We needed someone to do our trust but kept putting it off dreading the process. After reading many, many rave reviews for Elizabeth we made an appointment with her. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and makes sure that every potential issue is addressed. She knew what she was doing and she didn't miss a thing. In the most patient way she made sure we understood everything in the trust. Doing a trust is very personal. Elizabeth is warm and friendly and she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. When we finished and received our Trust Binder it was like a weight lifted off our shoulders. It is a big beautiful binder filled with everything our trustee will need to fulfill our wishes. We will highly recommend her to our friends and family and anyone who is looking for an amazing trust attorney.

Elizabeth was so detail-oriented and thorough in helping us update our trust and accompanying documents. I highly recommend her!

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Elizabeth. She helped me through a very emotional period in my life with the loss of both of my parents and family issues in managing my parent’s estate. I was stuck in a very difficult situation in managing my parents estate matters and at the risk of losing their estate to probate. My parents were immigrants and tried their very best in protecting their estate. They relied a lot on family and friends on their estate matters and made some changes that were not in alignment with their wishes or the courts. There were lots of loose ends in their estate planning during initial creation resulting in a troubling estate situation where after months of fighting with courts and failing, I was at risk of having probate involved, and losing a buyer for their house. I was referred to Elizabeth for a second opinion and what had taking months in the courts with no response, took only a day with Elizabeth. She accepted my case and got the courts to support and validated my parent’s estate and avoid probate. In addition, she was a great sounding board on helping me with the addressing and compartmentalizing emotional matters with the family and navigating through the challenges. Elizabeth is truly exceptional knows estate planning and mitigation plans for challenges for each situation very well. To ensure my children never go through what I had to go through she also developed our family trust and educated us on the various aspects of trust planning in ensuring our wishes were well documented. I have complete faith and trust that my family is great hands should anything unfortunate would happen to either one of us and that our final wishes will be protected and implemented.

We had a terrific experience with Elizabeth. She really helped us through the process of getting our Trust created. She educated us, informed us and most importantly was patient with us. Great personal interaction and service with a very organized approach. I would recommend her 10x over!

We finally decided to get a Revocable Living Trust in place, but didn’t know where to begin, or who to go to. Elizabeth Johnson was recommended to us by a very trusted acquaintance, and it made all the difference. Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, dedicated, and trustworthy. The whole process was seamless, fast, and actually enjoyable. We had nothing but a positive experience, and Elizabeth took such a big weight off our shoulders. We can’t thank her enough! We definitely trust Elizabeth Johnson (Johnson Law Firm in Danville), and highly recommend her!
