Ms. Moghtaderi provided the right level of service at the right time.

When my father passed away in early 2018 and left most of his estate to my disabled brother, the trustee he selected turned out not to have the best interests of my brother at heart. After a few months, I had to engage an attorney in Contra Costa Country to retrieve assets that the trustee had illega...lly obtained. But in order to remove the trustee altogether, I reached out to Megan for two reasons: She came highly recommended by some of my Contra Costa attorneys, and she was located in Orange County where the trustee lived. I learned that this was the proper venue in which to legally request the removal of a trustee. When I spoke with Megan by phone during our initial consultation, I explained that my ultimate goal was to have the current trustee removed and replaced by my father's successor trustee. She was attentive and professional. By the end of the 30 minutes, I felt I was in good hands and decided to retain her services. Megan worked very well with my Contra Costa attorneys. And in fact, from my perspective as the client, it was almost seamless. One memorable episode occurred when the trustee was mounting a challenge against my initial legal action in Contra Costa. At that point, the trustee did not know about the brief Megan had filed seeking her removal as trustee. But I felt strongly that if the trustee did know about the second legal action, it might provide leverage to help move both efforts forward. Megan agreed and this is indeed what happened. The trustee indicated her willingness to resign so Megan worked with the Contra Costa attorneys to craft a comprehensive settlement for both cases. The court approved the settlement and both matters were concluded satisfactorily. To conclude, although Megan was not the only attorney I worked with on this matter, she provided excellent service, and was responsive and efficient. I recommend her highly for any type of estate and trust litigation.
