Poor
If I could have given negative stars I would have. $18,000+ in legal fees. And my situation was actually worsened with their "assistance".

Very knowledgeable on Elder Law
Doug Chalgian and his staff knows, and is compassionate about Elder Law. It’s very true that death can bring out the worst in a family. Doug Chalgian represented our defense against my mothers trust vs my siblings. I would not want to be across the table from Atty Chalgian. Thank you Chalgian and...

Outstanding lawyer
Mr. Chalgian did an excellent job in otherwise complicated and sensitive custodial case. Very well prepared. He kept us well informed and abreast of all matters during this rather lengthy hearing. Highly recommend him and we thank him from the bottom of our hearts.
Douglas G. Chalgian's Lawyer Endorsements
"Doug is a dedicated, bright and personable lawyer. I do not work in his community, but I know his reputation is excellent and his contacts are national. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Doug is an excellent probate litigator. He has a keen insight that is the marking of a born litigator. And he works very, very hard. He obviously cares a great deal about his work. When he serves on a law-related committee or board, he does not merely show up to say "present." He contributes. And his contributions are valuable because he does his research and comes prepared. Doug gives his very best to what he does, period. He is both a talented attorney and a valuable colleague."
