From one attorney to another, John Parsons is my go-to real estate guy. Practical, smart, a great strategic thinker and a more than fair biller. Highly recommend!

Jon has helped me quickly, and easily resolve two challenges in the past twelve months. He’s great.

I had reached out to Kendra because my Trust was over 20 years old and my life had changed so I felt sure my Trust should too. After reviewing my old Trust, she provided me with an easy to follow workbook. Throughout the process, I appreciated how she made herself available to answer my questions and when it was completed met me in person to review and notarize. I am very pleased with Kendra's service and would recommend her to help anyone with the critical and somewhat emotional preparation of a Trust and Will.

I was recommended to Jon by a friend in seek of a lawyer who could help me establish my business partnership. It was very important for me to be represented by someone who understood the tone of terms I was looking to create in the contract. I wanted to be represented well and also keep a peaceful negotiation between my future business partner and I. Jon was amazing in hearing my concerns and providing the right steps, guidance and legal stance for me to move forward confidently and propose my terms for the business partnership. He found a lot of loop holes in our partnership agreement that would have greatly worked against me and was able to provide the solution. He explained to me how everything works so that I could understand for myself and was empowered in my position. I am very grateful for Jon because without him, I would have been committing to an unfavorable situation. With him, I gained confidence and security as a business woman. I will continue to use him in my future endeavors and have been recommending him to friends and family!

Kendra delivered a comprehensive plan that addressed all our estate planning needs. Patient and professional, Kendra truly listened to our concerns about some of the most difficult personal and financial decisions that we will ever make. We signed our final documents feeling confident that Kendra helped us craft a comprehensive estate plan that will protect us during our lifetime and will eventually ensure the smooth transition of everything we've taken a lifetime to build.

Kendra was wonderful. She quickly grasped the complexities of our estate, answered all of our questions and was extremely professional. We couldn't have asked for more! We would highly recommend her for all estate planning needs.

Kendra helped my Husband and I with our estate planning. She was very patient and made sure we understood everything. She responded quickly to our emails/phone calls, and paid attention to the details. Great experience, we highly recommend Kendra!

My husband and I are both busy and really liked working with her. She helped us in choosing guardians for our kids and led us through the thought process with much care and TLC. I appreciate the flat fee method of charging for the services rather than billable hours. Highly recommend Kendra.

She was so smart and efficient! Kendra prepared my estate planning in an enjoyable and pleasant way. She did not try to impress me with lawyer lingo but really assisted me in making sound decisions for my family. Price was reasonable and finished product turnaround was very fast as I was taking a trip out of the country.

Vanguard sent an Email saying a grant deed request was sent to county recorder's office in Monterey May 17 I called Monterey County recorder's office. No request received. I called Vanguard and they asked (for the first time) for my husband's death certificate. I mailed an original death certificate that day. June 2. Called Vanguard and was told request for grant deed going out that day. June 12. Vanguard says request sent July 5.
