Stefanie and her staff were terrific. It was all new to us but she was so professional and knowledgeable, and her amiable demeanor made us feel comfortable as she crafted our estate plan. She had several things for us to consider that we had not thought of. It all went very smoothly.

My family and I are very thankful that we found the Montecito Law Group. We were initially nervous about the process, as estate/trust planning was something we had been putting off for years. From the moment we met Stefanie, she was open to our questions and made us feel at ease by walking us through the process of estate planning. She delivered information in a simple and relatable manner, and helped guide us through making difficult decisions as a family. I’m happy we are in good hands and that we found a great estate planning attorney that truly cares about her clients. Her team was welcoming and very professional. Without a doubt, we are more at ease about our future and decisions related to our estate plan. One of the best decisions we have made in working with Stefanie and the Montecito Law Group!

From the minute I walked in the door of Montecito Law Group, Stefanie and her team made me feel at ease and I knew I had come to the right place. Stefanie explained what was involved with setting up my trust and walked me through the steps with ease and care. I greatly appreciate her knowledge and professionalism. She helped me understand the whole process and she made it painless.

Suddenly and unexpectedly my wife and I were faced with the need to revise our estate plan. As a former active attorney with years of practice as an estate planner I knew what we were looking for. I searched for a local attorney with good references. Stephanie's name came up several times with positive comments. I called her office to arrange a timely appointment. This was immediately handled ably and responsibly by her staff. Our initial meeting convinced me Stephanie has the background, support and the organization we needed. I am impressed with the comprehensive set of relevant documents that were put together in the short period of time we faced. My wife and I are delighted with our new association with the Montecito Law Group.

Four years ago, I realized it was time for me to get serious about estate planning. My financial advisor recommended Stefanie Herrington. It turned out to be very good advice. Stefanie crafted a foundational plan that was ideal for me at that moment. My realities called for some items to be addressed vaguely. Stefanie handled it all adeptly. We recently met again to re-define several matters, and to clarify and specify, removing the vagueness that I had required in the original documents. Stephanie implemented those items precisely as I had requested, and I now have a trust structure I'm confident will distribute my estate holdings exactly as I wish. Montecito Law Group offers great expertise in a very pleasant atmosphere. I confidently recommend them. Don Holcomb

I felt at ease the moment I walked into Stefanie's office. Her authenticity assured me that I was in good hands. Her knowledge and ability to answer all of my questions, with experiential suggestions, increased my trust and my confidence in her. She did an excellent job, providing me with an updated Trust and Will. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Stefanie Harrington. She did my mothers trust and created a special needs trust for my son. She goes above and beyond to help her clients. She's more then an attorney, she's a kind person who is always willing to help others.

Attorney Stefanie Herrington has far exceeded our expectations in her trust and estate work for us. Her consultation with us and and her preparation and presentation of comprehensive trust and will documents demonstrate a high level of professional expertise, flexibility and deep knowledge of state and federal laws as well as local customs and challenges. We highly recommend Stefanie Herrington and her team. Moving from the Midwest to California a few years ago, we knew our estate plan would need a major review and updating. Our standards were rigorous since I was a retired attorney and had some experience administering an estate, and we had previously been represented by an excellent attorney in the Midwest. After long and careful consideration, we chose Stefanie Herrington because we were impressed by her intelligence, upbeat attitude, and tireless leadership and service to the community of Carpinteria, particularly Carpinteria Girls, Inc. Stefanie's personable and flexible approach has enabled us to navigate easily through difficult and uncertain issues. Her clear and warm communication with a light touch of humor and thorough, creative solutions to thorny issues have inspired us with confidence and trust in the road ahead.

Our consultations with Stephanie Herrington were extremely informative and reassuring. I felt very comfortable knowing that my wife and I were in the hands of a true professional who seemed passionate, precise and excited about her work.

Stefanie Herrington and her team at Montecito Law Group are phenomenal. Our Family Trust was set up from start to finish within 15 days, after we had been putting it off for years. What an incredible sense of relief we felt, walking out of their office with our Trust in hand! They made the entire process pleasant, easy and comfortable from start to finish. They are friendly, efficient and always available to answer questions. We recommend them highly.

Stefanie and everyone in the office addressed all of our communications quickly & efficiently. A very welcoming, patient, friendly place. Working with Stefanie was a pleasant & affordable experience in what was a difficult & complex issue requiring significant time. We would choose to work with them again in the future.
