I personally hired Amber Rodriquez to assist me in the administration of my parents trust. She also represented me in a civil lawsuit against my parents trust by my sibling. She assisted me in my own personal estate planning as well. She came highly recommended by and I quickly could see why. Amber is a very knowledgeable lawyer who is also very calm and focused. She kept me informed constantly, along with her excellent staff. I cannot thank Amber and her wonderful staff enough for all that they have done for me through such a difficult time.

I was fortunate to be represented by Amber Rodriguez in what became a drawn out mess with my former husband's daughter. We had impossible, frustrating months dealing with her refusal to cooperate in any way. Amber hung in till the very end. Mediation was required and she hands down won the day as I am convinced only she could have done. I could not recommend her any more highly.....I trusted her totally and you can too! Just speak to her awhile, and you will understand.

Amber updated a trust for me by consolidating several complex trusts into one simple trust. After originating a new trust, we placed several pieces of property in it. It was a complicated procedure as we were selling one under the new trust and exchanging for other properties. This process was handled efficiently and everything went smoothly. I have had a lot of experience with lawyers over my career and Amber rates amount the top.

We drug our heals for a long time in getting our estate planning done. It felt like it was going to be overwhelming. Lance and his team walked us through the process step by step, answering all questions along the way and making the process so clear and simple. We now have everything - and I mean EVERYTHING (way more than I would have even thought of covering) - planned and in order for our family. We both feel relieved, secure and grateful that we took the time to complete this process. I would highly recommend Lance and his office to anyone I love and I would even go further to say I would encourage them to contact him soon. Simple. Clear. Professional.

Lance Like is a great attorney! I am a financial advisor and have a lot of experience reviewing estate plans for my clients. Because I have so much experience with this, I feel very comfortable saying that Lance Like is the gold standard when it comes to estate planning services. Along with that, Lance also works in the area of elder law. Lance is always the first attorney that I recommend to my clients for any and all elder law and/or estate planning needs. He is a partner that I trust with my clients and their needs. There is no higher compliment or endorsement that I can give.

Probably one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. He really is a godsend. Originally, I had an older lawyer, and he was not doing a good job at all. Three years in court with no results. I fired him and Hired Richard. In less than a year Richard got the 4 unit apartment building transferred into my name that my mother had left me in her will. He really took it to the opposing council at trial. We are waiting for the Judge's decision now. I feel optimistic about the outcome. So glad he was recommended to me. He is worth every penny

I was referred to Richard by my mother’s previous attorney. When I called him, I needed a legal guardian for my elderly mother to make sure another family member was not pressuring her to do anything against her will. She needed objective legal advice and Richard provided her with that. We came to Richard in a time of emotional upheaval within our family. He explained everything to my mother in calm manner and took care of all the tedious work we just couldn’t handle. He made sure that my mother’s best interest was the focus of every document that came our way. These situations can surely be a nightmare—having your family squabble over their own agenda can be devastating. It is important to have someone like Richard to ease your anxiety. He is a very seasoned, experienced attorney with a calming personality and an ability to disarm even the most difficult of characters. Thank you Richard!!

Richard was able to work with my brother and I during a conservatorship proceeding regarding my mother. We were at conflict with her second husband. Richard was able to deal with my brother and I as we got emotional during the negotiations before we went to court. He helped us come to an agreement that was agreed to by both parties before the courts were involved. Richard also really seemed to be cognizant of the cost and in my opinion tried to keep it as low as he could for us. This was appreciated.

Amanda came very highly recommended to me and I had full faith in her going into my first property purchase. I didn't think she would be any different than any other real estate lawyer however. She was very informative, smart, and walked me through all of the paperwork. But what really stood out was the research she put forth in order to help me with my purchase. She handled everything for me and when it came to closing she explained that she got me out of a nearly $5,000 tax charge because the seller was an international who would not question her motion to have the seller cover that fee. I doubt most other lawyers would even know that, let alone take the initiative to help me as the client that way. She truly exceeded my expectations and was a huge help. I will use her for everything I can. In the future.

Dear Penny. Where to start, I came from a family that the Patriarch makes the decision (right or wrong deception or not).  I contacted Penny some sixteen months ago when my brother showed up at my home with a codicil. I was told my mother had a trust in 2010 this was a complete falsehood. He had pilfered my mothers accounts created a mortgage on her paid for home and sold our family cabin. During which I was never told of any of these transaction (remember I as a woman am not allowed to question). When I found Penny she was so understanding and took my case to protect my interests and my mothers legacy. She is a fighter not intimidated by the court system or the family that represent those that mean you harm. I was most impressed that she was always available and responded even on vacation with her family. Another example: her daughter was in collage and a close friend had passed away, she picked up her phone to take my call (above and beyond the call of duty) yet still comforted her daughter. They don't make people like that anymore (remember I said people not just lawyer) Oh she's a lawyer,someone you can trust to always be there and prepared, and have the ability to explain the complex legal system for  myself and husband to understand. I strongly think if you are in my position you should speak to her, before you are deceived by conviction that program you for failure (to be subservient) you deserve answers. Penny will get them! .  We are indebted for your concern, caring, dependability, but most of all your caring and compassion. As always Penny thank you for you support through the difficult time in the past now we have a future! J & R

Frank Leffingwell's office prepared an employment agreement for me so that I could have all my current employees to sign it. I had not done this previously because another attorney had informed me many years ago that such agreements are not enforceable unless my practice has trade secrets I wanted to protect. And I did not think that we had any such trade secrets. Frank explained to me that such agreements are enforceable for a couple of years even without our practice having trade secrets. And that this is long enough to provide me the protection that I desired. His firm also prepared an excellent employment agreement for me within a couple of weeks and all of my current employees have signed it. Now I can rest easier about the future.

After speaking with a number one estate planning lawyers I decided to hire Whitney Sorrel in large part based on his ability to communicate clearly. By "clearly" I mean he was able to explain exactly what he would be doing and the purpose of completing an estate plan. What followed was even better. He listened to what I wanted while at the same time challenging me, in a very positive way, as to the wisdom of my choices. In the end, the final document represents my wishes while protecting assets and future finances. In addition, his personal style direct yet friendly fit perfectly with the way I prefer to do things. I would recommend Mr. Sorrel very highly.

Yes, I can be a bit dramatic, but let me say it again, WoW! I liked his picture and "ready for a courtroom showdown" so gave him a cold call. He was the most gracious, well mannered attorney I've spoken to. I'm a Paralegal and have a pending probate case so that says a lot! Aside from his excellent manner and professionalism, the guy knows his stuff. I have been through five (thought it was only 3:) probate attorneys for the last 9 years and Mr. Hankin gave me information that was pivotal to the success of my case; information that I should have already been told. I know, where was he 9 years ago! Let me tell you, he would have been my attorney and this case would have come to a conclusion years ago. Thank you again Mr. Hankin, your kindness put my trust back in humanity. ~A

I recently posted a review of this attorney but my review may have been premature, as we were not yet finished completing our exchanges. Since my earlier review Mr. Hankin wrote to me again. He shed tremendous light on the one pressing question that baffled me, and he did so in a professional manner. My initial aim was to utilize his services in the Appellate Courts, but it appears my case lacks the "teeth" for a successful appeal. If that were not my unfortunate predicament I'd most assuredly hire Mr. Hankin. Sometimes the devil is in the details. He's a details oriented attorney who takes the time to explain matters to his clients and prospective clients. I can't speak to other areas of his law practice, but for anything pertaining to California Trusts or Probate matters he's the "go-to" attorney!

My father was an 81 year old man who spent a month in hospital (some kind of procedure every week). He almost died a couple of times. He then went to rehab for a couple of months. Immediate family and dr's agreed he needed assisted living and then possibly go home. A great niece who he may have seen twice went and got him. Within 2 months she had a new will leaving her everything. She alienated him from everyone. Less than a year he was dead. A friend called to offer me condolences a week later and that is how we found out. I went on Avvo site hunting an attorney and found Jeffrey Kuhns. He was sympathetic, professional and very knowledgeable. At our consult he advised that he couldn't do what we wanted and needed to do. He referred us to someone he knew could.

I have the pleasure to call Raizel a friend and colleague. I have known her for over 10 years and can confidently say she is a zealous advocate for her clients. As prosecutors, we were in division together, and I can attest that she was always prepared and ready to work hard. We also tried jury trials together, and she is a talented and skilled trial lawyer. I do not hesitate to recommend Raizel to my family and friends!

After interviewing several attorneys, I decided to retain Raizel, and I am very glad I did. As an attorney myself, although not practicing in insurance law, I needed someone with the expertise to handle my case, and Raizel proved to be the consummate professional. Raizel supported me every step of the way. She was thorough in explaining my options and understood how crucial resolving the issues was for me. She took the time to understand who I was and what was important to me, always making herself available when I called. I had been waiting for more than a year for my insurance company to pay a fair amount for damages due to Hurricane Ian. When it was time to negotiate, Raizel was tenacious and unwavering. I cannot recommend Raizel highly enough. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support make her an exceptional attorney who will fight for you every step of the way.

I cannot thank Krista Barth enough for representing me during my divorce. I have always said she is “My Guardian Angel”. She is a very compassionate, detailed, thoughtful professional who honestly took a genuine interest in getting to know me and my wants during this process. She was honest with me from day one and told me the truth, not what I wanted to hear or sugar coat anything! She was by my side every step of MY long arduous journey and never let me lose focus on doing things the right way no matter how the other side handled things. She was very attentive and devoted regarding my wishes for my children throughout the entire process! And I love her for that! I am blessed to now have her as my confidant and a true friend! Krista has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and expertise and worth every penny and more! Again, truly cannot thank her enough!!

Krista is more than an attorney. She is a friend, counselor, advocate and the one who tells you what you need to hear. Krista got me through one of the toughest times in my life. She did it with compassion, grace and skill I have never seen in any attorney. She always made time for me and calmed me down in times of crisis. I don't know where I would be today if I did not have Krista in my life. She is an amazing attorney! I am extremely thankful for her and highly recommend Krista.

We used Ken as our attorney for a new home purchase. Ken was very professional and he went above and beyond when the loan underwriter needed a specific personal document of ours that we could not obtain because we were out of town but Ken was able to take care of the matter personally and we were able to close on our new home on time. We are so grateful to Ken for his service and highly recommend him for any of your specific legal needs.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.

      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
