In November of 2023, my brother passed away. It was the saddest time for my family. We were overwhelmed with grief. My brother did not have a will. We knew we needed legal assistance in sorting out my brother’s estate. In the summer of 2025, I took a chance and emailed the Talbot Law Group and briefly described our situation. I was not expecting an immediate response but Elizabeth Talbot from the firm promptly responded to my inquiry. I had a very pleasant conversation with Elizabeth. She spoke to one of the Partners at the firm on our behalf. Our case was assigned to Emily Nashban. My sister and I met with Emily virtually. Emily understood our situation, explained all the options available to us, answered all our questions and at the same time kept our expectations real. Once Emily took over our case, she meticulously managed all the necessary documents, handled the arrangements with the Probate Referee and all communications with the court, providing us timely updates along the way. She was completely transparent, which was especially important to me. I found that the Talbot Law Group staff is easy to talk to and extremely professional. Their expertise and in depth knowledge on the matter is evident. I felt confident that they were the best law group to handle our case and to recommend the appropriate option specific to our situation. Consulting with the Talbot Law Group was the best decision I’ve ever made for my family. They made what seemed to us a complicated situation an easy and smooth process. Not only they helped resolve our issue but they did it in a timely fashion. I cannot speak highly enough about the Talbot Law Group, especially Emily Nashban, who guided me throughout the entire process and answered my questions no matter how insignificant. I felt the same with Elizabeth Talbot who was always responsive to my additional inquiries. The support we received from the Talbot Law Group is priceless. Their expertise, professionalism, commitment and understanding of our needs are commendable. On behalf of my family, I want to thank the staff of the Talbot Law Group for the extraordinary support they provided us. I highly recommend them! Ermie H., Waldorf, MD

Nathan and his business associates are the best! I felt like well taken care of throughout the probate process and almost like I was losing family when it ended

Nathan came to me during a very difficult time, he navigated me through the entire process. He was able to resolve my case.

I brought Matthew Talbot into a personal injury case I was handling that had a probate issue that needed to be litigated. I was impressed with Matt's responsiveness and expertise. He clearly knows the ins-and-outs of estate law. I would not hesitate to retain his firm again for any kind of probate litigation matter.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Talbot Law Group to plan my will, trust, and overall estate. From the very beginning, they demonstrated the utmost professionalism and compassion, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. The team at Talbot Law Group took the time to thoroughly understand my unique needs and concerns. They patiently explained all the options available to me and answered every question I had, no matter how small. Their deep knowledge and expertise were evident, and I felt confident that my estate was in capable hands. What truly set Matthew and Elizabeth Talbot and their staff apart was their compassionate approach. Planning an estate can be an emotional and overwhelming experience, but the team handled it with sensitivity and care. They listened to my concerns and provided thoughtful advice that reflected both legal soundness and my personal values. The documents they prepared were comprehensive and meticulously detailed. They ensured that everything was tailored to my specific situation, leaving no loose ends. The peace of mind I now have, knowing that my affairs are in order, is invaluable. I highly recommend the Talbot Law Group to anyone in need of estate planning services. Their combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion is exceptional. Thank you, Matt, Elizabeth, and team, for making a daunting task manageable and for your unwavering support throughout the process.

A total thief and liar who will do whatever he can do along with of his probate cronies to take advantage of the elderly, which has been proven by the CEAR advocates (please research)!! The Contra Costa County probate department is corrupt from the ground up and that is a fact!!! Don't hire him or you will be taken advantage of!!

Nathan helped me and my wife set up an estate plan. He made the process incredibly easy and very quick to set up. Thanks to him we have peace of mind with our estate plan; highly recommend his services!

Nathan brought all his skills, experience, perspectives, and heart into my case. But from the get-go, he was abundantly clear that I was the one in the driver's seat. He obtained my agreement and approval for every decision that I was empowered to make. Nathan consulted me before any work, in order to efficiently use the fees I paid him. He also took great care to use this money wisely. When I didn't know what was best, he implemented strategies that will contribute to my financial future for life. He was also skilled at making mediation work for me, which helped keep me out of court for 2 more years, and made it unnecessary to pay a hundred thousand dollars in further fees. I am ecstatic that I placed my trust in him, and rightly so. I will happily refer my community to him (which I already have.)

We had a legal mess and Talbots team cleaned it up! Two deaths in family, started with one attorney who clearly was not up for the job (that atty cost us thousands of dollars and months of extra court time). By the grace of all things wonderful, we called Talbot Law and talked to Elizabeth. Within 48 hours, we had zoom call with Matthew, and hired him. Our court date was 3 weeks away, and they stepped in like they had worked on the case for months. They handled everything for us. Truly professional, courteous, responsive. It is an overused phrase, but Talbot Law is truly a team of experts in this field. Probate is hard, tedious, and long, and more so if you hire the wrong attorney. We interviewed 4 attorneys before hiring team Talbot, and I can assure you, he is hands down the BEST. This is their area of expertise and they truly are experts in handling probate. Probate is painful, but Talbot Law makes it so much easier.

Thank you for your help with estate planning. You made the process easy and seamless for me.
