    • I recommend L Christopher Arvin.
    • I hired L Christopher 1-6 months ago.
    • L Christopher handled my Estate Planning matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    As an Operations Manager one works with to do lists everyday.
    On one's things to do list is the not so obvious: Estate Planning, Will, Durable Power of Attorney and Mr. Arvin made the planning efficient, effective and easy.
    Mr. Arvin was very helpful and professional.
    I highly recommend Mr. Arvin and you can then cross out Estate Planning from your to do list.

    • L Christopher handled my Wills / Living Wills matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    Chris was efficient and accommodating. The only aspect of working with Chris that we did not like was the fact that he charged us $25 for shipping our final documents via FEDEX. We weren't given any other options (i.e. to pick up from his office).

    Living Trust documents - The best quality about Chris is that he took his time to explain all the legal options in details along with its implications. We never felt any kind of push from his end, instead he was thorough at answering all of our questions.

    Chris was great, a real Gentleman. I had complete trust in him to take care of an issue for me that I really knew very little about. At all times I was treated like a celebrety client and when we finally met I found a really nice down to earth guy who was very proffessional, explained everything clearly and was just a very nice person. If I ever need an attorney again I will not hesitate to call Chris and have recomended him to all my freinds.

    Chris did an excellent job preparing our revocable trust and related documents. He was very accessible, explained things carefully, responded promptly to questions, and was extremely easy to work with. I would recommend him to all my colleagues at Pepperdine and suggest that they sign up for Hyatt legal plans. This is the best experience I have had in working with an attorney.

    Chris was tremendous. I was prompted to create estate planning documents after the sudden death of my husband. Chris made the process easier than I anticipated. He was very knowledgeable about the rules and regulations and followed up with me even when I did not get back to him, which I needed to remain focused. He is professional and likeable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

    I was recently diagnosed with a condition that requires major surgery. I was referred to Chris through the Hyatt Legal Plan which I have as a benefit from work.

    Not only did Chris work on our estate planning over the weekend but he also came to my house to sign all the documents. Needless to say I was instantly relieved to have everything in order for my family.

I am very happy with the service he provided.

    We used this lawyer for estate planning and found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He was very available via phone, email, and in person, and he answered all our questions to our satisfaction. He was well organized and has a well-written set of documents to use a starting point for estate planning. He has followed up to ensure things are properly processed.

    I work at Raytheon we are fortunate to have Hyatt Legal Care. I recommended Chris to Eloy, who has also completed his Living Trust as well. I will continue to recommend Chris to other co-workers. I had first contacted Chris in January and he was great keeping in touch with me from time to time to complete this living trust. He was great!

He prepared the documents and came to meet me at my residence to go over and sign the documents. He answered all my questions and is always available for any questions that arise later. I would highly recommend him to anyone that lives or works in the UCLA area.

    I found Chris by change when working with my legal benefits plan I had from work. I've now worked with him twice - first on a trust/will for myself and again after I got married for myself and my husband. Both times I was extremely happy with Chris' work, responsiveness and general personality. Dealing with legal documents is not part of my daily agenda so not only is it something I'm not terribly knowledgable about, it's also something that tends to make my eyes glaze over. Chris did a great job of giving me a laymen's summary, encouraging me to look at details, but not expecting me to understand all legalese by the end. Should I need another trust/will done, I would certainly call Chris and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone in this area.

    After my father died, I hired Chris to set up an estate plan for myself that would allow me to transfer my father's assets from his trust into my living trust. Chris responded to my initial email within hours and we set up an appointment. He came to my house and we went over all the details and started the process. He generated all the necessary documents and also handled filing the deeds to transfer properties into my trust. Within two weeks I signed all the papers and had everything I needed, including a Will, Health Care Directive and Power of Attorney. I was very satisfied with his quick turnaround time and would recommend him highly.
