This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Experience

Contacted Todd Hillock after reading reviews to update our very outdated Family Trust. Appreciated the thoroughness and time spent along with much-appreciated advice helping us make a difficult decision involving family members. Todd listened, provided guidance and direction to meet our needs. High...ly recommend Todd Hallock.

Highly Recommend Todd.

My husband and I met with Todd for our estate planning. He took the time to sit down with us, get to know us personally, answer any questions we had, and recommend what was best for our situation. He was not only very knowledgeable, but very caring and honest about what we needed. The week after w...e signed our documents, my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Had we not listened to Todd's recommendations and put things in place, we would have missed out on some very crucial planning opportunities that would not be available to us following the diagnosis. In the process of visiting with doctors and other advisors, there multiple people who commented on the high quality of work Todd did for us. It took a lot of stress out of our situation, knowing we had all the necessary documents in place, and done by someone we trust. I highly recommend Todd!

Wils and estate planning

It was a very positive experience to have Todd Hallock review and revise our wills and trusts for up to date estate planning. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, competent and a very nice person to work with. He pointed out several changes in the law which directly affected us. He was also very pr...ompt in working with our financial advisor and tax accountant. We were very satisfied with the services we received and would recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding Attorney

Todd is by far the best Attorney I have had the opportunity to work with. I have worked on many transactions over the years and had to enlist some of the top Law firms in the California area. I find Todd's experience, professional knowledge and ability to understand complex issues comparable and at... times superior to some of these firms. Todd also brings a practical and realistic view on is counsel. I find that he is a great sounding board on business issues and will often help give a different perspective on the issues. Lastly, I find his rule of ethics and fiduciary responsibility refreshing in an environment where it is not always discernible whether an Attorney really has your best interest at heart.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Hallock was amazing through what we thought would be a month long issue that turned into over two years. He was very knowledgeable of the laws and help us through a difficult and emotional procedure. We always felt like we were in the loop of what was going on with our defense. Mr. Hallock als...o stepped up when opposing counsel was not.

"Attorney Hallock exemplifies the very best attributes of an active attorney and a level of professionalism we should all aspire to. Honesty, dedication and a love of the law which means. giving back to others who lack our understanding of the law. The thousands years of combined legal experience of professionals activity participating in forum represent some of the very best of our profession, which is after all, at its base is desire to those in need. This Attorney’s experience allows to obtain excellent results for his clients. Most importantly, this Attorney is willing to help complete strangers (as is the case in this forum) with legal problem for which we may have some helpful information and thereby demystify the legal process as much as possible. I would recommend this Attorney without any hesitation for all practice areas listed."

  • 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.
