honest, thoughtful, and thorough

Justin is an excellent lawyer—honest, thoughtful, and thorough in his explanations of potential pitfalls and strategies. He is empathetic and understanding, more like a friend than just a lawyer. I consult him on legal matters of the Real Estate planning and he is aware of my urgent need, making an ...appointments promptly He reviewed my issues in advance and gave me an additional ten minutes to address my concerns.

Thank you, Ava, for your kind and thoughtful review. I'm so glad that I was able to assist. Wishing you all the best.

I picked the right one!

I needed to speak to a lawyer for advice on a problem I had come up on in a simple probate case I was doing myself. I was frustrated with information I was being given and was stuck. I found Justin Gordon due mainly to his high reviews. He was able to explain what caused the problem and best dir...ection to go in to fix it. He was professional, kind, and has a great talent for explaining a complicated situation in a way that is easier to comprehend. I hope to never have to go through the probate process again, but if I do he'll be my first call!!

Excellent Judgement

We couldn’t of asked for a better attorney, he is a straight arrow. He was always polite, excellent judgement, excellent business manner, excellent communication. After a sudden death our step parent was instate. Her family came in unfairly to take everything our father had worked for. They steamr...olled over our fathers wishes. Given the circumstances and size of the estate we were unable to find an attorney willing to review our case. We were devastated of what had become of our father’s legacy. Justin, from Gordonlaw created a game plan after first phone call, he moved quickly and strongly. With all odds against us, he was able to get a settlement from probate attorney, and salvage part of our father’s estate.

AMAZING LAWYER

We were turned down by several attorneys due to our complicated case. Justin was always professional and accommodating. He explained the process with empathy and sincerity. He instilled in us hope and confidence and hope that he would resolve our situation. Our humble appreciation is not enough for... Justin. We thank him for working extra hard to ensure success and fairness with our case.

Highly Recommend

I decided to work with Justin after having a terrible experience with a probate lawyer after my dad’s passing. It was one of the best decisions I could’ve made. From day 1, his communication was great. He took the time to explain things in a way I could understand every step of the way. He always res...ponded promptly and was able to answer all of my questions. Would definitely recommend and if the need arises, I’ll work with him again in the future.
