Randall and I went to law school together in the mid-90's. I thought he was a very nice guy, but we unfortunately lost contact. Little did I know that 20 years later, after researching potential attorneys and checking out his reviews, reputation and credentials, I'd select him as the estate planning attorney for my parents! He did a great job on what turned out to be a complicated estate plan (the family is still growing, and one of the grandchildren is special needs, which raised a lot of back-and-forth over the need for/terms of a Special Needs Trust). He was very detail-oriented and professional - he put a ton of time in to get everything right, considering every possibility, notwithstanding that he was drafting all the documents at a flat rate. My brother and I were very particular about numerous terms of the documents, and Randall was always very patient and helpful throughout numerous (and I mean numerous) e-mails and telephone conferences. And, my parents really liked him and felt comfortable with him, which I think is very important when anyone is drafting an estate plan. I will be contacting him soon to set up my OWN estate plan - I don't think I can give a better recommendation than that.

Extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Edward is very easy to talk with and he does an excellent job of explaining information and clarifying all of the legal speak that is in an Estate Plan. We completed our estate plan with Edward in August 2017 and we rate Edward and his firm 5 star and worthy of the many referrals we will make to our family and friends.

After searching for almost 10 years, I finally found an attorney that I felt comfortable talking to. Ed O'Hare is a great listener and put all my fears and concerns at rest. When I met with him to talk about doing my estate, I felt I was at a therapist's office--his voice was extremely calming and put me at ease. He was very professional and asked questions that I had never thought about. But, I got my estate done, and I feel a ton has been lifted off my shoulders. I never asked what his fees were because I felt so comfortable talking to him, but, when he told me, I almost fell off the chair!! He charges less than half of what the other attorneys do--I am debating with myself if I need to tell him! He has my wholehearted recommendation to those that are trying to find the right attorney!!

Setting up a trust seemed rather overwhelming at first, but with Mr. Kaiden's expertise and professionalism we were able to execute it without the stress I initially feared would be involved. He explains the process well and is always ready to answer all queries in a manner in which all can comprehend. Not only is Mr. Kaiden a reputable lawyer, he is also unpretentious and honest in his approach. It is also important to add that his staff is also very pleasant.

Mr. Kaiden carefully advised us on a family trust and estate plan. Like many who do not yet consider themselves elders, we had no concept of elder law and the simple protections we could put in place now. This has created a great sense of security. Similarly, Mr. Kaiden's tax knowledge (in our particular case concerning the issue of citizenship) has been invaluable. It was rather frightening to discover the potential catastrophes our original trust harboured. The plan that Mr. Kaiden drew up for us is completely accessible in terms of managing the jargon and discerning the different instruments of protection used. He walked us step by step through funding, and has been consistently available to guide us by email and phone throughout the process as we encounter any difficulties. What was extra comforting about our experience was that Mr. Kaiden really took the time to know and understand our family such that each one of us, as far as the plan goes, feels safe and respected.

Randall has been a lifesaver. He quite literally saved our family from legal paralysis and financial ruin when our elderly father suffered a sudden, catastrophic accident with no power of attorney, estate planning, or longterm care provisions in place. Randall took the time to carefully and thoroughly explain all aspects of our case before we even signed on as clients. He is clearly extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of elder law from trust establishment to tax implications. Further, he has behaved with the utmost professionalism, kindness and compassion in the ten months we have worked with him. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needed Elder Law services in southern California.

Randall Kaiden has handled my mother's legal issues with integrity. He is honest and does exactly what he says he will do without the superfluous extras. I whole heartedly recommend him.

I am extremely pleased with my experience with Randall Kaiden. Out of a sea of attorneys that seemed to only want to participate in more lucrative "Senior Life Plans", Mr. Kaiden was the one who responded with the information I needed in a situation that required timely legal assistance for my hospitalized, aging father. He got me the correct documents and instructed me on procedures and points of law in order for me to help my Dad. His kind and compassionate nature made a difficult time a little easier for me. He followed up with me to make certain that everything had gone smoothly with the banks. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of an attorney specializing in Elder Law.

I have consulted with Randall on several cases. I have found him to be thoughtful, knowledgeable, and very good at flushing out all possible options. I also find him to be extremely ethical in the way he approaches sticky situations. I feel quite fortunate to have Randall as a colleague with whom I can consult.
