Highly recommend!! We were putting this Estate Planning off because it can be so tedious. Maya Pinchman was very efficient and responsive. She worked with our crazy schedule and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. I would go back for any of our legal needs. :) Kind and caring people.

Recently I lost my father. My dad passed intestate. Dad was old school and just adamantly would not sign a will or trust for us! Dad passed and had a decent size estate over $1,000.000. I had received a recommendation for Maya Pinchman from a relative who had worked with their firm before. To make a long story short! Awesome, service. Just very detailed and knowledgeable to the law! Accomplished all our goals in a timely manner! The estate settled and we received our total inheritance thanks to the hard work of Maya Pinchman and Steven Ratner! So thanks again Maya nothing but love for you and Steven!

My mother has Alzheimer's and I needed expert legal advice. Maya Pinchman was knowledgeable and gave exceptional legal advice. She helped us get her Medi-Cal Application approved. The process was very easy and now I can get her the proper care she needs.

Maya and her firm saw my family through a difficult time and made the probate process so much easier. She was easy to talk to, quick to respond, and answered all the questions we had in basic terms. We would use her again without any reservation I would gladly recommend her to family and friends in need of trust and probate services. She has your best interest at heart.

I was referred to Maya because I was in search of an attorney that practiced in the Medi-Cal asset protection space, and there are so few qualified individuals that are certified to practice this specialty of law. From the very beginning, Maya treated me like a person, not just another client, and very thoroughly explained the services she offered and what would be involved. Everything was explained in very plain language, and to the letter of what my Dad desired his living trust to look like. She was always available for the occasional question over e-mail, and I felt very well taken care of the entire time. If you need someone that specializes in this particular space of elder law, I highly recommend you call Maya for a consult. If she can help you, she will.

We came to Maya a challenging situation to set up an appropriate legal strategy for my aging parents. She was able to put together a clear plan, explain it to my parents, and get it done quickly. She was sensitive to our situation and very effective in helping us deal with it. If you have difficult elder care issues, you should give her a call.

I needed to better understand and handle a complex matter in our family trust agreement which involved sensitive financial issues, and desired to reduce the chances of a family dispute in the matter...the advice I received from Maya Pinchman was eye-opening, and her representation was invaluable. The matter was completely resolved quickly and without any family drama. I fully recommend Ratner & Pinchman without reservation. Stephen Gilbert

I highly recommend Ratner & Pinchman. They helped me navigate and file a MediCal application for my relative and reviewed my Power of Attorney and set my mind at ease with all of the questions I had during a very stressful life event. Maya Pinchman called me back quickly and was extremely helpful right out of the gate. She took time to take my calls and addressed any questions or concerns I had thoroughly. Call them for help, you won't be disappointed. It's hard to find people that care and are helpful these days. They do both (care & helpful)!

I highly recommend Maya Pinchman without any reservations! She was recommended by a trusted colleague so I knew I was in good hands before even meeting her. She was incredibly knowledgable, kind and efficient when my mom needed to rewrite her Will and adjust some details in her Trust. Maya clearly has her client's best interests at heart and provides the best professional advice while still personalizing the experience based on each client's individual needs. Maya went above and beyond for us!

We feel so fortunate to have found Maya Pinchman. We can't say enough good things about her. She was straightforward; she explained things clearly, and was upfront about the process and the cost. She was incredibly responsive throughout and guided us every step of the way. She got us the results we wanted. On top of that she was kind and friendly. In short she was great.

Mr Ratner is a very knowledgeable lawyer, it is pleasure working with him

After moving from another state we needed to update our estate documents to align with CA law. This was complicated by my spouse's dementia. Maya Pinchman was great to work with. She was very patient and thorough in helping me work through issues. She always made sure that I was comfortable that our estate intentions were properly addressed. And she was very solicitous of my feeling during this painful transition.
