After we had our first baby, we finally decided to do the living trust after years of education from Shadi. She was really professional and educated us the importance and little details about different trust. We are really happy with the service and going to refer all my friends with kids there. My wife was so please of her work that she would like her to review the family trust her family had done from other attorney years ago. Thank you Shadi!

Shadi is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. All of our questions regarding our trust were answered. 100% satisfied with her work!

Shadi Alai Shaffer helped my family and I get organized in protecting our assets with clear guidance and full support. She also updated our Living Trust. She is very professional and you feel her care with every question and difficult circumstance you present her with.

When my wife and I spoke with Shadi, she was very sincere, personable, knowledgeable, prompt and surprising affordable as well as feeling at ease as to our Estate matters. Having gone to someone else previously on other matters, and we were very uncomfortable because they used only their languages with oneway. Shadi is concerned about her clients and wants to do what's best for them. She really listens very well at any time as well as seeing things in a very realistic and objective way. My wife and I are very glad would highly recommend working with Shadi and her team such as Carol for your estate planning needs. A+++

I've known Shadi for a few years and have always known that she would be the one to write my will and trust for me. I was recently remarried and finally went to see her. She was, just as I suspected, fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and SO generous. She spent so much time answering our questions for us. We never felt rushed and we never felt stupid. She pointed things out that we'd never considered and we walked out feeling like we had all of our affairs in order. It is the biggest relief. If you are looking for someone who is honest and genuine, professional and passionate about what she does, you've found her.

Shadi, Patrick, and their entire staff are so knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Shadi did an incredible job of explaining my rather complicated needs, she was able to help me understand and execute a Living Trust for my family’s need, in a smooth and timely manner. During the process she was very thorough, patient and took the time I required to explain the answers in a manner I truly understood. After have two previous attorneys provide me a trust that did not meet all my needs, I can now truly rest comfortable knowing that my family’s needs are met. I could not recommend Shadi & Patrick at Asset Protection Center more.

Shadi is a fabulous lawyer. She has helped me with my trust. Shadi is so knowledgeable and was able to explain everything in detail in a language I could understand. She answered any question I had and explained how important having a trust is. I don't have a very large Estate, however Shadi made me feel like I was worth a Million Bucks. Shadi values family and life itself and wants the best for her clients and she understands that each family has a legacy to pass down through life's choices. Shadi also shows how important your life choices can be for your family and your future family members. She helps you see how important having a trust is, to move forward in life. She once said, "We get car insurance, not thinking we are going to get in a car accident, however, that is what we do, just in case". So that is the mind set with having a trust, thinking that we might pass, but not for a very long time from now. Shadi gave me the confidence and gave me information of the value to have all my papers in order, just in case. Shadi has a fabulous team. You can see how amazing her Legal Assistant\Client Liaison, Carol is, by how much she cares about each and every client that walks into the office. If there is one thing I can say, is, Shadi and her team take the scary feeling away from having to say you might leave this world one day. Shadi holds your hand while you have to come to terms with that day may come one day and she gives you confidence to be organized so you can be free of any stress of ".....what if's". Thank you Shadi for giving me peace of mind and to not have to think about anything but living in the now and present, for I know the future is taken care of. You truly make living Life so much easier without any worries. Thank you again. Shadi is truly the BEST!

We needed to get our Living Trusts going. We contacted Attorney’s in our general area; it was days before we received a return call. First impressions are lasting. We found Shadi @Asset Protection & Elder Law Center in Irvine; 29 miles and 1 hour 20 minutes away. Her assistant Carol answered my questions on the spot, not days later! That was an excellent start. I don’t part with my money very easily. So after all our questions were answered in ways I could understand, I asked about the fee. I never told her, but I was so impressed that I might have paid more. Shadi is professional, knowledgeable beyond belief, and caring. We signed that day. You cannot put a price on her service and knowledge. I carry her card in my wallet and give out her information when the topic comes up. I even have offered to drive my friends when they are ready to be represented by a great Attorney. Thank you Shadi for being the caring and efficient person you are. And thank you also to your great staff. Nancy + Katherine

Shadi did our estate planning. She took what seemed like a very arduous task and made it quite easy. She was professional and explained things very clearly. We would recommend her to anyone!

My wife Rita and I had our first set of estate planning documents done back in 2008. So, in 2018, with several changes to our family, we decided it was time to renew our estate planning documents including our wills, power of attorney, setting up of a trust, and our health care directives. We searched on Yelp and found Shadi’s practice “Asset Protection & Elder Law Center” as a highly rated service. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We uncovered that the service we had done back in 2008, would not have protected our assets from going through an arduous process for our heirs. Shadi did a fantastic job of explaining the different options, and helped us select the right option that met our unique circumstance with me being a permanent resident of the U.S. Shadi is a true professional, and incredibly passionate about the service she offers. I highly recommend Shadi as someone who will take care of you and your family for the future!

Shadi was very professional and personable. I felt 100% comfortable trusting her to plan my estate.

Shadi made my estate planning so much easier than I had thought it would be. Not only is she a professional at what she does but she is also very kind and thoughtful. She gives the full picture so that there are no surprises and provides knowledge that you may not even have thought of. I highly recommend her for your estate planning.
