The probate process for my father’s estate was poorly handled by the previous attorney I sought out and hired. The process seemed disorganized and took approximately three years; and still resulted in numerous major errors that caused the property to be reassessed at the current market value, instead of maintaining the base value at the time of my father’s purchase 19 years prior. The backdating of the reassessment to the year my father passed allowed the state to bill me for increased property taxes for all three years the probate was taking place. In the end, the adjusted property tax bills totaled near $30,000 ($10,000/year), versus the original property tax bill of $3000/yr.
I was put in touch with Adam by a friend that had a good experience working with him. After having an initial consultation with Adam to describe the situation, he immediately began discussing my options and possible outcomes, both positive and negative. After such a bad experience with my previous attorney, one thing I really appreciated was that when working with Adam, I always felt I had the whole picture, and he never led me down the path of becoming overly optimistic as many other attorneys tend to do.
Adam’s extensive research, eager approach in obtaining the required information, and persistence in meeting with the appropriate State personnel, allowed him to make a case for why my property should not be reassessed. Adam not only saved me approximately $30,000, but he completed my probate process, which was long overdue. I will continue to use Adam for all my private and business-related legal matters. Finally, someone I can trust.

After contemplating a Living Trust for years due to the fear of the process, I was fortunate to meet Adam Aparicio and his partner Devanand Singh. Their professionalism and knowledge made the experience of creating a Living Trust so easy. All my needs and concerns were treated with the utmost respect and patience. Everything was done around my schedule, in a timely manner and they even came to my home! They made the whole experience so painless for me. I am so grateful and appreciative for all their guidance and support throughout the process. I highly recommend Adam C. Aparicio, Attorney at Law for all your legal needs!

Unfortunately I had some complex contractual and business issues to deal with in my new venture. Aparicio Law came through in the clutch. They responded to my numerous frantic calls quickly, with professional courtesy and made me feel like everything would fine.
Most attorneys I've dealt with talk at you, but Adam and his team really talked with me. It was like a partnership where we worked together to address my company's needs.

I already had a lawyer that did my estate plan stuff but he was retiring so I needed to find a new one. When Adam stepped in, not only was he able to pick up where my previous attorney left off, but he went above and beyond. He created an estate plan that better fit my life now. He drives two hours round trip for every meeting with me and he always answers his phone. I ended up needing a different type of legal advice later and, even though that area wasn't his specialty, he went out of his way to give me all the basic information I needed to head in the right direction. He even called me occasionally to see how things were going and to make sure there wasn't any other way he could help my situation. I, to this day, continue to work with Adam and I recommend him to everyone I know. I used to think lawyers were all heartless, liars who just wanted to cheat you out of as much money as they could, but Adam changed my opinion. He isn't just a lawyer, he becomes your friend in the process and I am proud to say that I feel very lucky to have him on my side!
