Maya Pinchman successfully guided my family through the maze of elder law in California. I recommend her without hesitation.

This law firm has assisted with establishing our Family's Trust and guiding the trustee's through its execution of instructions. All matters have been effectively communicated and dispositioned in an excellent and professional manner. I highly recommend Maya Pinchman and this law firm.

We met Mr. Ratner at the Alzheimer's Center when we attended a financial class after my mother in law was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. When she was placed in a skilled nursing facility after her hospital stay for a stroke, the case worker there harassed us about her stay and we needed some legal guidance. Steve came to mind and we hired his firm. From then on we felt confident we were in good hands with Steve and Maya. They both were always available to us when we had a question, advised us of our legal rights, and was our voice when we were overwhelmed, which was often. We can't thank them enough for helping us though this difficult time in our lives.

Our family has been extremely pleased with the way the firm handled my parents trust and they continue to work diligently for us. I would highly recommend Ratner & Pinchman.

Estate planning became an important consideration after my husband was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease. The decision to seek counsel from Ratner & Pinchman has given me peace of mind on so many levels. Maya Pinchman knew all the right questions to ask about my husband’s cognitive ability and I was impressed by her standard of ethics: she made sure he understood the information contained in his legal documents before signing them. She had both of our best interests in mind, which I appreciate. It’s rare to find a person with Maya’s intelligence and expertise who also connects in a personable way. She’s a true professional and her attention to detail is exemplary. Although anything of a legal nature is definitely serious, my husband and I enjoyed interacting with Ms. Pinchman. I was especially grateful that she took the time to answer my (many) questions; she’s a wealth of knowledge! It’s such a relief having our things “in order” and knowing these vital documents accurately state our wishes.

If you have tax law issues, Milda is the person to see. She provided immediate attention to my tax law needs and was very quick to resolve them. She was very thorough in reviewing my tax return and was able to get us a refund from the IRS instead of us paying them. She also provided great advice and communicated/provided updates along the way. I would definitely use her again.
