I highly recommend Maya from Ratner and Pinchman. Not only is she an excellent attorney, but she's a very nice person. She did an excellent job on my will and trust, and she has also helped me with elder law issues over the years, as has her partner Ratner. I highly recommend this law firm.

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Milda Goeriz by a close friend who assured me that she was among the top Estate Planning Attorneys in San Diego. From the moment I stepped into her office, I understood why. Milda's approach is refreshingly straightforward and efficient. She wastes no time in getting to the heart of the matter, ensuring that every moment spent with her is productive. Her depth of knowledge in trust and estate planning is truly impressive. Milda guided me through the process with ease, asking all the right questions to ensure that my trust was set up precisely to meet my needs and wishes. What could have been a daunting and complicated task turned out to be surprisingly smooth under her guidance. I'm incredibly pleased with the service I received from Milda, and I won't hesitate to seek her assistance again in the future.

Maya Pinchman was a pleasure to work with for our estate planning. She was knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. Maya took time and care to ensure our questions were answered and was timely with her responses. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

I cannot recommend Maya Pinchman any higher. When my mom’s circumstances changed where she required higher care and could no longer live on her own, my sisters and I were overwhelmed. We were receiving so much information from every direction on how to help my mom. We did not know anything about Medi-Cal. We were referred to Maya and she met with my sisters and I. She helped us maneuver the system and did the heavy lifting to get my mom Medi-Cal approved. What a stress reducer! With everything else we had to handle with my mom’s care, this was one thing we left to an expert and I am so glad we did. Maya was patient, answering all our questions even when we asked them numerous times. Maya‘s ability to summarize a complex system was what we needed.

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.
