Great Lawyer

Irene de Jesus is assisting us with our estate planning and will. She is much more thorough than any of our previous attorneys. She carefully explains each aspect and keeps communication lines open. We are happy we've engaged her services and have complete trust and confidence in Irene.

Incredibly personalized, Deep knowledge, Warm- NOT your average lawyer!

I just want to share my experience with de Jesus Law Group... IF YOU ARE EVER LOOKING FOR AN ESTATE LAWYER OR BUSINESS LAWYER, GO WITH THEM!!! Here's why: Irene is NOT your average lawyer. Her law firm takes a really unique and personal approach. My husband and I went to her for business planning law..., but then we signed up for the family planning. They offer a lot of "features" with their package... yup I said package (can't remember what she actually called them) because they don't do hourly billing which is such a relief for us. Plus, she checks-in and reviews our documents every three years free of charge! I am SO impressed, not only by her knowledge, but by her attention to detail. The whole process is INCREDIBLE!!! She did a LIFT program for my business, which was awesome. Currently we don't have kids, but they also offer some pretty important information and planning for them (keeping this in mind for future reference)... IF YOU HAVE KIDS, TALK TO IRENE BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT!!! She does talks, seminars, and workshops. I'm not sure about the first two, but I do know that the Guardian Nomination workshop is FREE (all you need to do is get a group together, get a location - it can even be your living room - and schedule a date with her). Everything is personalized for us... plus she has a couple of surprises for her clients (I'll keep them a surprise and not share what they are) :) She is such a blessing!!!
