I hired Michael Lonich to handle my divorce. He handled my case with diligence and kept me informed throughout the process. Michael's deep understanding of the law and strategic approach made me feel confident and secure. He was always approachable, answered all my questions, and provided sound advice I recently went back to Michael for estate planning. He did my living trust and provided exceptional estate planning services for my family. I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail and the personalized approach he took to tailor our estate plan to our unique circumstances. I highly recommend Michael Lonich.

I came in over a year ago for living trust preparation.With what I paid for the service I received, yes I were very satisfied. I highly recommend their services.

I have known Michael Lonich for many years as a neighbor but this was my first use of his professional services as a lawyer to update our estate plan and he and his firm are fantastic. Professional, competent, thorough, and easy to work with.

We engaged him for our estate planning. Ours is complicated and time consuming. We had another attorney previously tried to do for us. She in fact was very delayed; non-responsive. We finally did the switch and glad we did. In summary, Michael provided an excellent professional help during pandemic period.

I came in for family law matter, offered to pay more for some service. Michael Lonich, oh my what a kind man! after listened to my story, explained what best for me. This man, this firm loaded with experience, knowledge and ethic professionalism. Note: other lawyers elsewhere would have taken my naive offer for the extra pay. One lawyer even cost me more by advising me the services I did not need, but Michael told me that was unnecessary, and turned out I did not need it at all. So Michael saved me time and lot of $. I was happy with the results. Glad I found Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri Firm

I have known Michael for many years and have had the good fortune of his representation on many occasions, both for myself and my husband's trust and my mothers' trust. Then again when my mother passed to assist with the distribution of her estate. He has always been so very helpful and thoughtful, understanding the stress that accompanies such a trying time. I whole heartedly recommend him for all your probate needs.

I have been a customer of Michsel Lonich for number of years. He and Ingrid have updated my Estate trust twice now each time they were professional in every aspect of what I asked of them

Mike Lonich and his staff did a fantastic job in handling my case. Mike was strategic in his approach. His experience and legal knowledge was evident. The results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Mike and the Lonich & Patton law firm.

Lonich & Patton LLP handled all facets of my estate planning in a highly professional manner, with dispatch and careful attention to detail. They answered all my questions without hesitation and left me with the conviction that Mr. Lonich and his staff stand to “be there” when I need them.

I am deeply grateful to Michael Lonich and the legal team at Lonich &Patton LLP for helping me navigate the complex legal and financial arrangements of my parents’ care and estate settlement. About ten years ago, when I came in for my initial appointment with Michael Lonich, my parents were living in Orange County, my father was incapacitated with Alzheimers, and my mother was hospitalized after a heart attack. As power of attorney, I was suddenly responsible for paying all their bills and arranging their care long-distance while carrying on my work as a college professor 400 miles away in the Bay area. Michael offered a wealth of advice and understanding, helping me deal with the medical/legal/financial challenges with professional expertise, kindness, and support. With effectiveness and integrity, Michael and his capable staff helped me through an assortment of financial and legal challenges. Three years ago, when my parents passed, they helped me handle new legal obligations, including death certificates and notifications, as well as establishing a new estate bank account so I could continue paying their bills and settling their estate in my new capacity as executor. After many years and many visits, Michael Lonich and his staff have become like an supportive extended family. As well as providing excellent professional support, he has made difficult situations manageable with his characteristic kindness and consideration. In times of chronic stress, when too many people are feeling fragmented and isolated, Michael Lonich offers a welcome beacon of hope. I have recommended him to my friends who are dealing with their parents’ estates and will continue to do so.

Firm was very professional in helping me navigate my duties as Successor Trustee upon the death of my mother.

Mike helped plan & make my final wishes. He's very professional & I have recommended him to my friends
