What can i say about Barbara Bergstein? She is the BEST! Barbara came into our lives during a very difficult time. My father was aging quickly. Dad needed the comfort and guidance of someone he could trust. Barbara came to us through a warm referral. We were told Barbara had the skill to work with seniors. Barbara’s level of compassion, caring, and ability to listen, are only a fee things that put her at the echelon of her profession. Without question Barbara was the perfect fit. Dad met one on one with Barbara several times in order to meet his needs. Barbara has the ability to listen and communicate with those who require an little extra attention. It didn’t matter how many phone calls it took. Nor did the long in person meetings. Nothing distracted Barbara from listening to, honoring, and achieving Dads goals. Barbara Bergstein was a blessing to my father, and our entire family. We cannot thank Barbara enough for all she has done. Coming from a family who already has two attorneys we know a true professional when we see one. Barbara Bergstein is a top notch class act who I would recommend to anyone needing the help, guidance, and wisdom of trust attorney in California. Thank you, Barbara!

My wife and I have recently dealt with Barbara to help update estate documentation for a family member, she is truly fantastic! Very patient with all our questions and explained everything wonderfully to make sure we understood everything, no complicated legal jargon, simple and straight to the point. She had everything sorted out for us so quickly, she must be a machine. We absolutely loved her, would definitely recommend!

Very honest and knowledgeable Attorney!! Especially in Real Estate Issues. Glad I found this Law Firm.

I have never been happier to write a review! Barbara is everything that you could possibly want in an estate planner. She is kind, communicative, understanding of circumstance, extremely intelligent and the absolute best in her area of practice. We came to her with two confusing, unusable Trusts that were written and filed by a paralegal at We the People. She was patient and helped us navigate our way out of that mess, and created a Will and Trust that we are extremely happy with . She walked us through every step of the way, answering every question with thoughtful responses that helped us feel at ease . Thank you Barbara! You are the best!

Barbara is a God send. After speaking to several trust attorneys and being oversold on complex estate planning, I found Barbara to have an easy going and no-nonsense manner, patiently answered questions, delivered creative and not unnecessarily complex solutions, and sincerely looked out for my own interests. I highly recommend her!

We were looking for an attorney to setup our family trust and Barbara was referred to us. Barbara has years of experience doing this and she is only doing estate planning, there are firms who do this as another service but we need an attorney who is only focused on estate planning. Her price is very reasonable when compared to other law firms. Barbara is very nice to work with during the setup process and she promptly respond to any questions that may arise during the trust funding process. We highly recommend Barbara for your estate planning. Thank you Barbara.

Barbara has been truly wonderful advising me and my father through the process of setting up trust accounts and estate planning. She is thorough, smart and kind. She is always very fast with her responses and really puts up with no nonsense when dealing with people who don’t have our best interests in mind. Cannot thank her enough!

I was lucky to have found Attorney Barbara Bergstein on Google. I was looking for an attorney close to where I live, who specialized in setting up Trusts. Oh my, did I find a gem in Barbara. She not only set up a Trust for me and my partner, but also executed our wills and advanced health care directives. Additionally, she guided us through changes to our property ownership status that will save us a lot of money in estate taxes. In the process of dealing with our property, she found and corrected issues in our property deed listing. Carefully and thoughtfully, she guided us through the intricacies of each document and answered many questions, making sure we understood all issues in them. She is a wealth of legal knowledge and a very kind person. Regarding cost, her fees are beyond reasonable. I told her she needed to charge more for all the documents and work she did for us. She made the complex process of establishing a Trust, health care directives, wills, and much more, a very simple, enlightening, and fun experience.

Very thorough, professional and personable. She made the trust process seamless. Highly recommend.

I recently needed to create a living trust and other estate planning documents. I have met with several attorneys over the years, having to do with other people’s estates, and all of them were men. I knew that I wanted a woman attorney, so I did my research, checked reviews, and compared services and rates. When I met with Barbara Bergstein, I found her to be knowledgeable, understandable, and responsive, answering all my questions quickly. I had let Barbara know that I hoped to get my documents finalized before a trip I was taking, and she got it all done at a reasonable rate and with two days to spare!

My mom, my sisters, and I cannot thank Barbara Bergstein, ESQ. enough for the work she did as my mom’s estate planner. Barbara is professional, compassionate, highly knowledgeable, and dependable. We shared our goals. We discussed our options. Barbara answered any and all questions we had with insight, clarity and patience. As a result, she was able to provide the best solution to fit my mother’s specific circumstance, needs, limitations, and timeline. Barbara walked us through what actions needed to be taken and the process required to achieve my mom’s final wishes, to the best of our ability. Then, we got down to business. Barbara made sure we crossed every “t” and dotted every “i” to have our work be impeccable, impenetrable, and completed with velocity. My mom is happy and relieved with the results. And we are all very impressed with Barbara’s work. We will be working with her again, should any future estate planning needs arise. I highly recommend Barbara Bergstein, ESQ to anyone who needs solid estate planning services.

I'm very happy to recommend Barbara Bergstein..a friend for over 40 years. Most of all a very competent estate planning attorney and a pleasure to work with on a professional basis. In my life insurance work I deal with a number of estate planning attorneys and Barbara was the one my wife and I selected to do our estate plan. Paul Glass
