My father worked with Maya Pinchman in the summer of 2021 to update his estate plan. He authorized my brother and me, who are serving in fiduciary capacities, to also work with Maya to ensure that the documents met his wishes. Simply put, we had a wonderful experience working with Maya. Maya listened carefully to all of my father’s wishes and offered thoughtful suggestions on how his objectives might be met, while keeping in mind ways to simplify the eventual administration of the plan. With his permission, she worked closely with his financial planner to ensure that financial matters such as asset titles and beneficiaries were consistent with the legal plan. Maya made herself available (outside of business hours if needed) to family members living in three states and two time zones. She went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible for my father, who has some mobility issues. For example, she made house calls to determine his needs and to obtain signatures and notarize documents. Once the documents were final, she stayed in touch and was kind enough to stop by to notarize bank paperwork—even going so far as to drop the paperwork at the bank for my father! To top it all off, Maya is a warm and friendly person, and we all felt comfortable with her immediately. As a family, we wholeheartedly recommend Maya to any family in need of estate planning services.

Maya was a great help through a number of trust and Medi-Cal issues. She was always quick to respond and extremely knowledgeable. She also has a great network to tap into for issues that fall outside her domain. Her referrals were excellent.

Ratner and Pinchman were very knowlegeable in Elder Care and provided us a trust for my moms estate. They also helped notorize the Power of Attorney and Medical forms needed to assist my Mom with her transition to Assisted Living. When helping an aging parent its nice to have someone you can trust facilitate all the legalities. They were great.

The Ratner and Pinchman Firm made my estate planning less daunting than I anticipated. Estate planning is no easy task and definitely not something most individuals want to do during their spare time. Maya and her professionalism, promptness, and easy availability made the task less challenging. Thanks Maya for giving me peace of mind!

The horrible disease of FTD dementia struck down my wife at the age of 60 requiring 7/24 care. Not knowing where to seek financial aid we were eventually directed to Ratner & Pinchman Attorneys. This firm took on our case and gave us the assurance that we would be qualified. Over the course of a few months working with Maya which is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with was able to protect our assets and get us qualified for Medi-Cal. It was a long process but well worth it. Because of their help I will not be financially devastated. This firm saved my life. I highly recommend Ratner & Pinchman. Thanks Maya.

Cecilia Chen is an absolutely awesome and an expert attorney. She was our attorney when we were trying to buy a dental clinic during this COVID era. She is very competent, has deep knowledge of dental industry, prompt and responsive, and extremely thorough! She is focused on what is the best for her client even if that means walking away from a deal. She ensured that we do not enter a bad deal and helped us in buying a good clinic on great terms. We strongly recommend her to anyone who is planning to buy a clinic.

Allen was very helpful every step of the way constantly communicating back and forth and answering any questions that I might have had. With this whole ordeal being very stressful already he was able to ease my mind and working with me and my situation I am very thankful for Allen.

Hiring Dr. Allen S. Theweny was the best decision I made after losing my job unexpectedly amid the COVID-19 global crisis. Theweny and his team were thoughtful and patient while guiding me through the entire process. Not only Theweny won my case, he also arranged for a significantly larger settlement than expected. My family and I highly recommend Dr. Allen S. Theweny, and are grateful for his tireless efforts to advocate for those less fortunate.

Allen was a joy to work with and gave me the best guidance on my case. Very knowledgeable and has great communication! Highly recommend!

a bit expensive but works really fast got the job done if you want to win I recommend highly im satisfied im surebyou will be too

I hired Allen when i was wrongfully terminated from my previous employment. I was kinda skeptical moving forward with this lawsuit but Allen reassured me that i was doing the right thing and that i shouldnt fear. Im glad i went with his advice and i absolutely made the right decision. I would definitely recommend Allen to anyone who was wrongly terminated and went through what i went through!

Cecilia was just awesome. She navigated me through a very challenging time of practice sales during this COVID era. I was immediately put at ease knowing how she would represent me, my concerns and my dental practice in the most positive light. Also she knew when to take time to explain to me in a way that I needed to understand the details of contract law so I could make intelligent decisions I appreciated her aggressive stance when required to go to bat for me during the long negotiations. Her experience of knowing when to push and when to compromise simply amazed me. I highly recommend Cecilia to represent them in a practice sale. Mark a Barraza DDS
