I spoke with Fernando awhile ago, he was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient in explaining estate planning. I felt he was trustworthy and would refer him to colleagues.
I'm very happy with Fernando's legal services and advice
Fernando was referred to me by a friend because she said he did a good job creating her trusts and I wanted a trust to protect our assets in case we got sued.
He also helped us design a will that 'poured over' into our trust so if my husband and I were to die, my son would get what he was entitled to without any hassles or legal costs.
Fernando is an expert in wills, trusts, and estates as well as Elder Law. It is all he does! He does not dabble in other areas of law like so many lawyers around town do.
I'm very happy with Fernando's legal services and advice. I recommend him to all my friends and clients because he is great at what he does and his prices are very reasonable.
Don't make the mistake of going to an online service or "jack of all trades" lawyer to save a few hundred bucks and risk losing your child's inheritance or your assets if you're sued . Go see Fernando, you won't be sorry.
Fernando is OC Estate & Elder Law’s workplace guru and one of the few people to have an answer to almost any estate planning or probate question. For this, he’s earned himself the nickname “Foogle.” Fernando handles this accolade with customary modesty but will admit that he has resolved some of the most complex probate and trust administration cases.
Fernando Orrego has a pile of top tier experience in estate planning, probate administration, and asset protection. This includes trusts, trust administration, probate of any and all estate assets imaginable, elder law, and Medicaid planning. Fernando can draft your socks off to ensure he provides you with a customized estate plan to meet your family’s dynamic needs.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Fernando worked as a financial advisor in New York City and South Florida for many years. He is somehow able to explain complex legal and financial matters to an audience that is still awake when he’s finished. And yelling encore. Every law firm should be run by “Foogle” so OC Estate & Elder Law is lucky to have the only one.
