I had the pleasure of working with Maya Pinchman JD, for our Trust, medical directive, will, and other estate documents. Maya’s professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge were outstanding. Maya demonstrated a keen understanding of our complex situation, especially with blended families, ensuring that our needs were met seamlessly. I highly recommend her services for anyone seeking comprehensive estate planning assistance.

Maya Pinchman is amazing. My elderly mom fell, required surgery, and then was in a SNF for sometime and I needed her to get on Medi-Cal. I applied for Medi-Cal for her so she could eventually get in home services and she was denied, she was just a few hundred dollars above the income level. I was so panicked and stressed but my mom's previous estate planning attorney gave me Maya's number. I called expecting to talk with a receptionist but Maya picked up and that's when things got better. When she says she can get it done, she is telling the truth. Maya explained how she would help my mom receive Medi-Cal benefits and she delivered. Maya was incredibly reassuring and available during the entire process. Working with Maya was one of the best experiences in my life. She truly does care about her clients, and she is incredibly good at what she does. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Additionally, the staff that supports her is equally responsive and very welcoming. Call Maya if your mom and dad are having trouble with Medi-Cal!

I have been wanting to setup a trust for the family, and finally pulled the trigger. Maya Pinchman assisted me with setting up my trust and it was a pleasure to work with her. She is extremely knowledgeable and very efficient in providing all the information and documentation we needed. Maya kept us in the loop every step of the way. From initial consultations to the final trust document, she explained each progress update clearly and promptly. I highly recommend her and her firm.

I highly recommend Maya Pinchman for all of your trust needs.Very knowledgeable about special needs trusts. After all, no one really wants to think, talk about, or do this uncomfortable process of setting up a will or trust. Maya makes it less uncomfortable with her expertise in the laws and calming professionalism.

Maya made the process of creating my full estate plan quick and painless. I answered a questionnaire that she sent over via email and we reviewed it in person and poof, my entire estate plan was created. I have so much more peace of mind now knowing that this very important item on my todo list is finally taken care of.

I had put off making our special needs trust fund for years. The whole process scared and intimidated me; as a result, I was overwhelmed and didn't want to do it. Finally, I decided it was time. I reached out to several attorneys in my area who are known to make them. I am so glad that I found Maya. The first time I talked to her, I told her about my anxiety in making the trust fund. She responded "having a child with special needs is the hard part; making the trust fund is easy". That definitely set my mind at ease from the start. From our first in-person meeting, until the final signatures and notary, Maya was nothing but professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She guided us through the process with patience, answering the many, many questions that we had. I never felt like we were rushing her. I felt confident that she had our back and was doing right by our family. I am relieved that the process is done now and that, should something happen to me and my husband, my child will be taken care of in the way that we want. I am so grateful to Maya for leading us through this process which ended up being painless. Anyone that has opportunity to work with Maya is lucky.

We worked with Maya Pinchman and she was very patient and explained everything we didn't understand or needed clarification. Maya worked very quickly and efficiently within our timeline that we needed. The whole experience to do a trust was easy and painless. Highly recommend her.

Maya Pinchman, of Ratner & Pinchman, was a fantastic Elder Care Attorney and resource to guide my family through the Medi-Cal process. Maya was thorough and took the time to explain each step, and the associated expectations, for what the process and the timelines would look like. I have referred Maya multiple times following our work together and I appreciate everything she did for me and my family during this very complicated time. Highly recommend her and her team.

My partner & I contacted Maya for creating both joint and individual trusts prior to purchasing a home. Maya consulted us on the pro's and con's of both and was very clear in how her process and timelines worked. She was knowledgeable and prompt on all our calls with her. She was very friendly to talk to during our meetings and we are glad to have found an estate attorney in San Diego. I've recommended her to all our friends and colleagues.

Maya is a Godsend. She handled all correspondence and guided us with Medi-Cal for my mother and I have total confidence in her abilities and professionalism. For our personal estate planning, Maya was patient and kind and gave us the best advice without judging us. We feel so relieved to have everything in order! I highly recommend Maya Pinchman. She's the best!

I am so thankful I was referred Maya Pinchman. My father passed away, I was the Trustee of his Trust. I had 4 siblings and 1 of them had to have a Special Needs Trust and I had no clue what I had to do. Maya assisted me throughout the whole process, helped me feel at ease and I learned so much. She was so knowledgeable and so quick to respond to all my questions and help in anyway she could. If I could give her 10 stars I would. It was a pleasure working with her. Highly recommend Ratner & Pinchman

Maya is amazing, knows her field and is very accommodating. I highly recommend her and her company!
