Grace Law and their outstanding team did an outstanding job with our case. The lawyer's Zino and Jordan, and their team Charmaine, Graceille, and Joana always kept us updated on our tasks and kept the case moving forward with a very favorable outcome. Having a team of laywer's that are able to give you peace of mind while facing uncertainty is what kept us sane while going through this process. I cannot thank them enough.

I am so appreciative to Dan for litigating my case, this was a tough one to battle! He handled all my questions (there were many lol) in a respectful and transparent manner. I was so stressed after my accident, but Dan made the process so much easier. He was always available to answer my questions and kept me updated throughout the entire process. This accident came at the worst timing, I couldn’t have imagined going through this without the compassion & support from Dan and his legal team. I highly recommend Dan, trusting his expertise and knowledge, supporting you wherever you may be in the PI process. We all know it isn’t where we like to be. Thank you immensely for being you!

I can’t say enough good things about Ibraham Dbouk. Here's my personal story and how he helped me fight these outrageous charges that could have impacted my livelihood if a conviction of these charges.
I was facing three serious charges that could have resulted in a felony. I was hesitant at first to hire a criminal defense attorney and to weigh the options of the public defender assign to me. I didn’t want to risk my livelihood and receiving any conviction, so I decided upon hiring Ibraham as my attorney, an attorney that could focus solely on my case. I can say it was worth every single penny. All of the charges were dismissed.
From the beginning, he was committed to going above and beyond to address any concerns I had. He took the time to thoroughly explain every detail of my case, making sure I felt informed and confident in the decisions we were making. What really stood out was how he walked me through the entire legal process. I never felt lost or unsure about what was going on—he made sure I understood each step and was always transparent about what to expect next. It’s scary not knowing what can happen to you. Ibraham was there to explain the whole process from beginning to end.
His approach was logical and well thought out. He didn’t just take the easy route, he was strategic, methodical, and willing to fight for me every step of the way. And when it came to communication, he was incredibly responsive. Whether it was a simple question or a more complex concern, he was always there to address it promptly, which really put me at ease during a stressful time.
Thanks to his hard work, I avoided a felony conviction, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you're looking for an attorney who will fight for you, be transparent, and guide you through the entire process with care and expertise, this is the one you need. Highly recommend!
To summarize:
- Help fight my felony charges. The case was dismissed
- Communicative. Responds through text, and easily reachable
- Calm my nerves throughout the whole process
- Worth every penny in hiring Ibraham as my attorney
Ibrahim please if you ever need witness to how well of an attorney you are to future clients, feel free to reach out to me or simply mention how you helped my case to them.

We had an outstanding experience with Mr. Vega as our attorney. My wife had a traffic violation that was initially classified as misdemeanor, and we were very stressed about it. Mr. Vega first worked with the DA’s office and successfully had the charges filed infractions.
During the court process, he also had a conversation with the officer involved, and had one of the charges dismissed.
He was knowledgeable, professional, and made us feel confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly goes above and beyond, Mr. Vega is the one to call.
Thank you so much, Mr. Vega, for your hard work and dedication.

Ted Huang is an excellent immigration lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, and he responds quickly to questions over e-mail.

I've used Ted on a few different occasions and I can firmly state that he is the BEST! From the first time I met him during consultation, to finishing up the most recent case, he is always knowledgeable, respectful, and most importantly he cares about his clients. If you want someone that will not only walk you through whatever woes you have, but also to finish up your case FAST, then look no further!

Laura Butuke seems like a good lawyer and she partially is which is why I'm not giving her just one star. But when she had an opportunity to do some legal leg-work to ensure that our parents' house was passed from my father to my mother without reassessment after he died, she instead took the opportunity to get the house reassessed at market value and added to probate along with all of my father's other assets. I've asked multiple attorneys after the fact and they have all said the same thing: this could have been avoided.
Conveniently for her and her only, this added greatly to the lawyer fees that she charged us at the end of probate. This also means that we will now be paying $7,000 more per year in property tax for the rest of the time that we choose to own this house. Really greedy and sneaky BS. I do not recommend her services.

Laura provided invaluable information about options we had no idea were available for my father (even after tons of research ourselves), and the steps to make them happen. Laura and Weylon continue to provide support to ensure my father gets the care he needs. If you are overwhelmed, give them a call. It is well worth it!

I spoke to Waylon about the firm and booked an appointment to see Laura. A hour before the meeting Weylon called to confirm, that was a red flag that I ignored. Laura explained what the approval process was and that it could take sometime to get approval given my families situation. I decided to become a client of the firm and sent in my retainer and notified the firm. When the check did not arrive I got an email asking about the check, there was some back and forth. Once the check was received and cashed I heard nothing. I called and asked for status, I emailed and asked for a call back so I could understand what I should expect.
Low and behold I got an approval letter and wasn’t sure what to do - was that it was anything else required?
I sent another email no response, finally frustrated I called and told the receptionist that I was very frustrated that no one has called or emailed me back. After the phone call I got an email from the firm congratulating me on the approval.
Once they got the check there was no communication. The follow up it terrible and unprofessional. I’ve had better service at McDonalds.

Our attorney retired and referred us to Ms. MacLellan's firm to handle our estate should something happen to my wife and/or me. We are both am very pleased with her work. She is easy to talk to, and she explains complicated issues in an easy to understand manner. I'm extremely confident that we are in good hands moving forward. Last time we met, we asked her for some advice for our son who is starting the difficult walk through a divorce. She had some very good points for him to consider, and she was even willing to meet with him to give him advice for finding a good attorney where he lives.
My wife and I feel fortunate that we have her helping us set things up so our three sons know exactly how we want things to unfold should something happen to either one of us. I highly recommend Ms. MacLellan to anybody who is trying to plan for the future with someone well versed in the laws and able to make complex issues understandable.

Probate case. The first firm we hired was unresponsive, so we had to find a new one. Same thing with the second firm. Finally we hired Sandoval. Megan was responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly: she actually took our case seriously. She kicked into gear right away to get our dad's house sold before it went to foreclosure. Despite the complexities that were out of her control, she kept the process moving and got through everything in a timely manner, diligently walking us through every step along the way.

I recently did some Estate planning with the Cox Law Group.
I could not be more pleased with the results. While I was doing my research, Cynthia Cox took the time to fully explain the strategies we would be implementing. She laid everything out in an email and was available by phone to fully explain every detail and answer my many questions. Once I retained the Cox Law firm I worked with Cynthia and her associate Dawn Hartman. Dawn was great. She was knowledgeable, efficient and responsive. We got the job done and I could not be happier with the results. I would highly recommend this firm.

Title: Concerns About Caprice Collins' Role as Special Co-Trustee
My late grandfather was a client of Caprice Collins, and she named herself as the Special Co-Trustee in his trust. When serious issues of theft and mismanagement by the trustees arose, Ms. Collins failed to fulfill her fiduciary duties. Instead, she submitted a notarized resignation, abandoning her responsibilities without appointing a successor as required by the trust.
Caprice responded to me directly but did not post her reply publicly on Google. In her response, she attempted to justify her actions by stating her firm focuses on estate planning, not trust litigation. However, her role as Special Co-Trustee obligated her to act in the best interest of the trust, regardless of her firm’s stated focus. Resigning during a critical time for the trust was a breach of fiduciary responsibility.
She is now attempting to have my review removed while refusing to address her breach of duty. Transparency and accountability are essential in estate planning. I encourage anyone considering her services to ask detailed questions about what happens if issues arise within a trust.
See her response in the photos attached below

I want to preface this by stating that I was not personally a client of Caprice Collins. However, my late grandfather was, and she set up his trust, naming herself as the Special Co-Trustee. She also set up a trust for my parents and several other family members, consistently listing herself as the Special Trustee. While she charges extra for this service, my experience has shown that when the time comes for her to fulfill those duties, she does not deliver.
In my grandfather’s case, serious problems arose with the trustees, including theft and mismanagement of trust assets. My mother, as a beneficiary, was directly impacted, and I had to step in as her attorney-in-fact to protect her interests. When we reached out to Ms. Collins to address these issues, she claimed she had not been “retained” to act. However, her role as the Special Co-Trustee did not require any additional “retention”—it was her fiduciary duty to address these matters. Instead of fulfilling her responsibilities, she resigned from her position, violated the trust by failing to appoint a new Special Trustee as required, and abandoned her duties entirely. This left the beneficiaries to deal with the fallout on their own.
I have since been advised by other attorneys, including former members of her staff, that Ms. Collins is primarily a salesperson who focuses on drafting trusts but lacks the knowledge or experience to handle disputes or problems when they inevitably arise. I’ve also been told she has never set foot inside a courtroom, which explains her inability to act when real issues occur. She overcharges clients for drafting trusts and making simple changes, but when challenges arise, she disappears.
Based on this experience, I strongly advise against utilizing Ms. Collins’ services if you need someone reliable to handle trust-related disputes or fiduciary duties. While she may appear competent when drafting trusts, she has failed to demonstrate the responsibility, accountability, and expertise necessary to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries. If you are looking for someone who will truly stand by their word and fulfill their fiduciary obligations, Ms. Collins is not the right choice.

The Living Trust information and services presented were very informative. This information highlighted where my family is deficient in protecting our family assets. We were ready prior to the presentation to complete a Family Trust, but after this seminar we are sure this firm has the resources and expertise to perform this task for our family.
We truly believe anyone with any assets to protect should make an appointment for Collins Law Group Family Trust seminar.

When my sisters informed me that our grandfather’s caretakers had changed his will to their benefit two years before he passed at 103 and that they wanted to hire an attorney to fight it, I was on board. We hired Evans Law Firm. Due to my work schedule, I was rarely able to attend the many phone calls but I was on all the email correspondence. Ms. Evans and her team were very thorough and dedicated to getting the truth. Due to Evans Law Firm’s tenacity, we were able to secure a settlement completely in our favor. I would without a doubt hire Evans Law Firm for Elder Financial Fraud and Abuse cases.

My siblings and I hired Evans Law Firm after we discovered our grandfather’s caretakers had our 101-year-old grandfather change his trust. Evans Law Firm immediately took our Elder Financial Fraud and Abuse case. Ms. Evans has a no-nonsense way of getting to the point, but she does so because she can so clearly see the injustice and it infuriates her. She will then use that as motivation to dig out the truth. And did she! She was a forced to be reckoned with during the depositions and the amount of subpoenaed info she and her team combed through was incredible. Ms. Evans was able to secure a very uncommon FULL settlement in our favor. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Ms. Evans and Evans Law Firm.

My mom set up a trust 20 years ago when she was a single mom with 3 kids and absolutely no time. When I sat down with her recently to review her estate plan, she was shocked to find the trust was not set up at all the way she thought she'd instructed the lawyers to do it. She wasn't even sure what law firm had originally set it up because there hadn't been any follow up from them in all that time. She also had only partially funded it and most of her assets were not in the trust's name.
I was very happy to find Meier Law to help her restate the trust and get her full estate plan in order. They walked us through every step and helped her feel confident in the plan and how things would be set up to achieve her goals. They also provided detailed instructions on funding the trust and have a plan to check in every few years to see if any updates are needed.
Meier Law is probably not the cheapest option out there, but an estate plan is worthless if it isn't actually set up and funded correctly. So personally I think their prices are a bargain for the level of support we're receiving and the peace of mind to have this all in capable hands.

I had an excellent experience working with Jared Pursley from Pursley Law Firm, APC. He took over my car accident case in early 2023 and was extremely professional and thorough throughout the entire process. Jared walked me through every step, ensuring I fully understood what to expect.
Toward the end of 2024, we resolved the case through mediation with a judge. Thanks to Jared’s hard work and dedication, not only were all my medical bills fully paid off, but I also received an additional settlement that I didn’t anticipate. His commitment to achieving the best outcome for me was truly impressive.
I am incredibly grateful for the time and effort Jared put into my case. I would highly recommend him to any friends or family members involved in an accident. He made a stressful situation much easier to handle and delivered results beyond my expectations.

From the beginning Carla was understanding, kind, compassionate and professional. She took a personal interest in my situation, always thinking about my mother, who passed away before this case was settled. Through the course of the case Carla always gave 100% to this very complicated civil litigation. She fought vigorously to defend my mother's dying wishes. Carla's hard work and dedication resulted in a positive outcome. I am so thankful that I chose Carla for my attorney. I highly recommend Carla to anyone who is seeking representation in a probate/civil matter.

Estoy increíblemente agradecida con el equipo de The Grande Law Firm por su apoyo durante todo mi proceso. Antes de trabajar con ellos, tenía otro abogado, pero me resultaba muy difícil obtener la ayuda que necesitaba. A menudo no podía comunicarme con nadie, y me sentía perdida y sin claridad sobre lo que debía hacer. Todo cambió cuando comencé a trabajar con The Grande Law Firm. Han sido increíbles, siempre apoyándome y estando allí cuando los necesito. Gracias a su arduo trabajo, mi hija ya tiene programada su entrevista.
Lo que más me impresiona es cómo me hacen sentir como parte de su familia. Cada vez que hablo con ellos, me siento lo suficientemente cómoda como para compartir mi historia, y de verdad siento que puedo confiar en ellos. Es raro encontrar personas que sean no solo profesionales, sino también amables y compasivas. Recomiendo muchísimo a The Grande Law Firm a cualquiera que necesite ayuda; ¡ellos te cuidarán como si fueras parte de su familia!

Being my first legal experience, working with David was so smooth! Having step by step breakdown and knowing what to expect was assuring! It is a process and that’s the lesson I took away from working with David. Would recommend P & P to anyone looking for guaranteed results and ease of mind.

Professional, communicative, assertive.
So grateful that my friend Samantha referred me to David and his amazing firm after a really unfortunate accident. The staff at this firm cares and are the most considerate. They're transparent and they do all that they can to maximize efforts/outcomes. I'm hoping the angels are protecting me from another auto accident (lol) but should one arise this is the only firm I'd trust to handle my case, as well as the only firm I can confidently refer others to.

I Lost a large amount of money when an investment firm invested my money on a company being investigated for unethical practices. I hired Jon Furgison‘s firm to represent me and attempt to get my money back. In the end we were successful, but the important point is how professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated John Ferguson was during the time he represented me. I would Refer Jon Furgison to friends!

I had the unpleasant experience of losing a great deal of my earnings through a negligent investor. It was a misfortune I had blocked out of my mind for several years until I was referred to Jon Furgison. As a busy and traveling professional, I didn’t have a lot time and resources to do the leg work most attorneys require from you. From Day 1 Jon listened to me, guided me and made the process of collecting information and data seamless. Jon was honest and forthcoming about my case from the start. He guided me with a great deal of support, respect, knowledge and confidence throughout my case. I was extremely proud of the work Jon did on my behalf. He was able to successfully negotiate a favorable settlement in a short period of time. I highly recommend Jon and his team for anyone seeking counsel from an experienced and honest attorney in investment fraud.

I met with Ed about a shared rental property. He is engaging, straightforward, realistic, and easy to talk to. He also gives very clear and concrete advice; no vagueness to try to navigate around. It was easy to set up a mutually agreeable time for a Zoom meeting, and he was there promptly and made good use of the time to cover all of the topics we needed.
I would 100% talk to him again about trusts, probate, and real estate issues. Give him a call!

We called Ed Goodson because we needed an estate plan for our blended family to make sure we were treating everyone fairly and passing on our assets the way we planned for. Ed gave us the right questions to think about, helped us understand the tax implications of our choices, and made sure we had our healthcare directives, power of attorneys, and everything else all set up. We finally have peace of mind after procrastinating forever! The TPLG team was wonderful!

I've worked with Sara off and on over a 10-year period in a challenging and complicated divorce situation. Sara has always been helpful and responsive. She has remained calm and kind even when I wasn't. She has been honest and never gave me false hope or set unrealistic expectations. Instead, she has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my case so I could make informed, clear minded decisions. Sara knows the family court system well and the people involved in the system. She also understands its limitations. The unique thing about Sara is that she's a good person ... and I can't say this about other family law attorneys I've worked with. She has looked out for me and my family's best interests while other family law attorneys I've used always managed to prioritize their financial interests above all else.

Greg restored my faith in the legal system and I would recommend him to anyone/everyone who's recently been in a car accident. I was in an unfortunate accident two weeks ago and was in shock when I called up my car insurance company and was immediately pushed into giving a recorded statement. I felt steamrolled by my insurance company (they are not your ally), especially since they immediately pronounced me 100% at-fault without any defense (and without even letting me know). I needed an expert coach to get me through the process and defend my rights. I started calling attorneys and after 15 calls of bureaucratic rejections I felt defeated. These large legal "corporations" would have a rep answer the phone, punch my info into a computer, and then say, "Sorry, but we don't cover minor accidents". I was literally about to give up (and cry), but then Attorney Hood picked up the phone. Yes... he, the actual attorney, called me back and asked for my full story: what happened, why did I feel cheated, etc. He was compassionate, patient, and infinitely helpful. He started sending me legal terms to use and lawsuits to reference. He took the time to actually show/explain to me my rights. I can't thank you enough Greg! Highly highly recommend!

What an Elder Law Lawyer Can Do for You
An elder law lawyer specializes in legal issues that affect older adults, their families, and caregivers. These lawyers handle a broad range of topics, including estate planning, Medicaid and Medicare, long-term care planning, guardianship, elder abuse, and retirement planning. The goal of an elder law lawyer is to protect the rights, finances, and well-being of elderly individuals and to help them plan for future healthcare and financial security.
If you or a loved one is aging and facing challenges related to healthcare, finances, or legal matters, an elder law lawyer can provide essential guidance to protect your rights and interests as you age.
When Should I Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Hiring an elder law lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where older adults need help with legal, financial, or healthcare-related decisions. Common reasons to hire an elder law lawyer include:
- Estate planning: If you want to create or update a will, set up trusts, or ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, an elder law lawyer can help with comprehensive estate planning.
- Medicaid and Medicare planning: If you need help qualifying for Medicaid to cover long-term care or need advice on navigating Medicare benefits, a lawyer can guide you through the application process and protect your assets.
- Long-term care planning: If you’re concerned about paying for nursing home care or assisted living, a lawyer can help you create a financial plan and explore options for government assistance.
- Guardianship or conservatorship: If a family member is unable to make decisions due to age-related cognitive issues, an elder law lawyer can assist in setting up legal guardianship or conservatorship to ensure their care.
- Elder abuse and exploitation: If you or a loved one is experiencing physical, emotional, or financial abuse, an elder law lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the abuse and recover damages.
- Retirement planning: Elder law lawyers can assist with planning for retirement, including managing pensions, Social Security, and other retirement income.
- Special needs planning: If you have a disabled family member who requires special care, an elder law lawyer can help create trusts or other legal arrangements to ensure their long-term financial and healthcare needs are met.
What Does an Elder Law Lawyer Do?
An elder law lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help older adults and their families navigate the complexities of aging, healthcare, and estate planning. Their responsibilities often include:
- Drafting wills and trusts: Creating legal documents that outline how an individual’s assets will be distributed after death, ensuring that their wishes are honored.
- Medicaid and Medicare planning: Helping clients protect their assets while qualifying for government benefits to cover healthcare and long-term care costs.
- Establishing guardianships: Assisting families in setting up guardianship or conservatorship for loved ones who are unable to make decisions due to mental or physical incapacity.
- Protecting against elder abuse: Investigating claims of elder abuse or financial exploitation and representing the victim in legal actions to stop the abuse and seek compensation.
- Planning for long-term care: Developing strategies to cover the costs of nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care options without exhausting the elder’s financial resources.
- Managing probate and estate administration: Guiding families through the probate process to ensure that the decedent’s assets are distributed according to the law and their wishes.
- Setting up advance directives: Helping clients establish healthcare directives and powers of attorney to ensure their medical and financial decisions are carried out if they become incapacitated.
How Are Elder Law Lawyers Paid?
Elder law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many elder law lawyers charge by the hour, especially for tasks such as drafting documents, handling legal disputes, or providing ongoing legal advice. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as drafting a will or setting up a trust, some lawyers charge a flat fee. This can range from $500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the estate plan.
- Retainer: For long-term legal representation, such as managing a trust or handling guardianship matters, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal work.
- Contingency fee: In some elder abuse or financial exploitation cases, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they recover compensation for the client. This fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.
Be sure to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how you will be billed and what the total cost of services might be.
How Much Does an Elder Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an elder law lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the fee structure. General cost estimates include:
- Simple estate planning: Drafting basic documents, such as a will or power of attorney, may cost between $500 and $2,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s assets and wishes.
- Complex estate planning: Setting up more advanced estate plans, such as revocable or irrevocable trusts, Medicaid planning, or special needs trusts, can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more.
- Guardianship or conservatorship: Legal fees for setting up guardianship or conservatorship often range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and whether disputes arise.
- Medicaid planning: Legal fees for Medicaid planning can range from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on the level of asset protection needed and the complexity of the individual’s financial situation.
Always ask for an estimate of fees during your initial consultation to ensure you understand how much the legal services will cost.
Top Questions to Ask an Elder Law Lawyer
Before hiring an elder law lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise needed to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with elder law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's estate planning, Medicaid applications, or elder abuse claims. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the best approach for my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your situation and what legal strategies the lawyer recommends. -
How long will the process take?
Whether it’s drafting an estate plan or setting up a guardianship, ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly. -
What documents should I bring to the consultation?
Ask the lawyer what documentation or information you should prepare for your consultation, such as medical records, financial statements, or prior legal documents.
How to Check the Credibility of an Elder Law Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable elder law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for elder law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in elder law and have experience with cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on elder law issues.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications or affiliations with organizations such as the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), which can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to elder law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with an elder law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Existing estate planning documents: If you have a will, trust, or power of attorney in place, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
- Financial records: Provide details of your assets, including bank accounts, investments, real estate, and retirement accounts, as well as any debts.
- Medical information: If the case involves guardianship or Medicaid planning, bring relevant medical records that detail the individual's health condition and care needs.
- Insurance policies: Bring information about health insurance, long-term care insurance, and any other relevant policies.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about your legal needs, the process, and the lawyer’s fees.
- List of family members or beneficiaries: Prepare a list of the individuals you want to include in your estate plan or who will be affected by the legal process.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and receive the best legal advice tailored to your needs.
