Estate Planning 60%

"Estate" is the legal term used to define your property and money. Estate planning attorneys tell you different strategies you can use to transfer your belongings after you die. By planning your estate, you can maximize its value by minimizing taxes and eliminating court costs and interference. Estate planning attorneys also help you control and protect your estate during your lifetime, by writing documents that allow you to transfer property and money to children, charities, or others.

Best Attorney EVER

Dawn Stark and her assistant, Ellen Burin, are the best team you could ever have if you need a great litigator. They went out of their way to help me with a complicated and difficult probate litigation compounded by familial insanity that they were able to traverse with ease and grace. It was amazi...ng to work with them, and I would highly recommend Dawn Stark over any other attorney in Southern California. She took my case after I had problems with another attorney who didn't know what they were doing. She is an excellent attorney and outstanding person.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Charming

I had the pleasure of working with Dawn Stark over the past year and I feel compelled to speak about my experience with Dawn and her staff. Dawn is the consummate professional and she has the most positive reputation that precedes her in the area in which she works. This holds true for Dawn also in... her influential network of people, many of whom I know. I also know quite a few of Dawn's clients and they all say the same about her and those that support her in her chosen area of expertise. I HIGHLY recommend Dawn to anyone who needs estate planning since her broad knowledge base, professionalism, and charming personality make her one of the best attorneys in the business.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I met Ms. Stark two years ago at an estate planning conference. Since then, Ms. Stark and I have worked on a number of client matters together. Ms. Stark is not afraid of a challenge and she possesses the qualities, characteristics and intelligence you want your attorney to have. From a professional standpoint, Ms. Stark has been an excellent and well respected member of my team each time we co-counsel on cases together. On the personal side, it has been my pleasure to get to know her better over the past few years and to be able to not only consider her my professional colleague but also a good friend. Ms. Stark has also been an excellent resource on matters involving criminal issues, traffic tickets and business law. I will continue to use Ms. Stark as part of my trusted advisory team, as a resource and as a referral."
