A great listener and compassionate!

We had an amazing experience working with Lourdes Bernal-Dixon on our family trust. She was kind, and compassionate, and truly took the time to listen to our needs. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but she made the entire process smooth and easy to understand. Her attention to detail and genuin...e care for our family’s future gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, I highly recommend Lourdes Bernal-Dixon!

Lourdes Bernal-Dixon is the best! Highly recommend

Lourdes Bernal-Dixon is exactly who you want in your corner for all things that go along with Estate planning, probate, wills and trusts. She has done all our families wills and trust and estate planning. She is very detailed and listens to exactly what you want for your family. Estate planning isn't... sometimes the easiest thing to talk about but it is a tremendous gift you give your family after you are gone. I can't recommend Lourdes Bernal-Dixon enough. If you are looking for any estate planning services she is the best in the business.

Updating a Will

While my husband and I thought we had covered our basis in a previous will that we had done ourselves, we had life changing events that required some changes and updates. We seeked out the guidance of Lourdes and it really drove home the need for someone professional and experienced to handle this... and explained everything in terms we could understand. We so appreciated that she was able to draw information from us that we didn't even realize was important to the process. What a great feeling to have "peace of mind" on such an important detail of your life. We could not have done this without Lourdes and we felt so at ease through the entire process.

Creating a will

Creating a will is not something we like to talk about. It's kind of a downer. However, it is something everyone MUST do. I am so glad we sat down with Lourdes to work out the details of our future. Having only one child I thought it would be simple, give her everything. Not so simple. Lourdes ...explained what we needed to do and WHY we needed to do it. I highly recommend Lourdes, she answered all of our questions, and there were many.

"I've known Lourdes for over 15 years, and she is a lawyer's lawyer. She is an extremely hard-worker who will not rest until the job gets done, and is craftsmanlike in the manner in which she handles her litigation cases. Her integrity is impeccable and for this reason, she commands the respect of the Judges she appears in front of. It is my honor and privilege to give her the highest recommendation that any lawyer can receive, and she has my unqualified endorsement!"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
