Christopher Arvin completed a Trust for our family. As a result of the Palisades fires (Jan. 7, 2025), we lost our house and many documents including the Trust. Despite his own losses in the Palisades fires, Christopher immediately responded to our needs by retrieving the Trust. We are truly ...appreciative of his professional and personal qualities.

Beware the stellar reviews, we had a mixed experience

We hired Chris to draft our estate planning documents under my husband’s legal support plan at work. We selected him based on the stellar reviews on Avvo. Unfortunately, our experience with Chris was mixed. There were some positives - he is prompt with his work and seems very knowledgeable in his fie...ld. However, he was dismissive when we asked basic questions and flat out refused to clean up spelling/grammatical errors and glaring formatting issues in his documents. We got the impression that he is very busy and doesn’t have much time for his clients other than providing cookie cutter documents and processing things quickly. He didn't seem to care that these are our family documents and they are important to us. Because of this, I felt hesitant about contacting him to fix an error on a report and I ended up finding the form online and fixing it myself. Overall, the experience wasn’t as pleasant as we hoped and if we had more information, we probably would have selected a different attorney to handle our affairs.

Estate Planing Documents

Chris was knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He was quick to answer questions and send us the appropriate documents. I would recommend Chris to others who have such needs.

Painless and fast service

I found Chris through my employers legal support plan. Chris helped me prepare my estate documents. During the engagement he was sensitive to my personal needs and patient as it took me some time to get them done (my issue not his!). I highly recommend Chris for your attorney needs.

Planning made easy

As an Operations Manager one works with to do lists everyday. On one's things to do list is the not so obvious: Estate Planning, Will, Durable Power of Attorney and Mr. Arvin made the planning efficient, effective and easy. Mr. Arvin was very helpful and professional. I highly recommend Mr. Arv...in and you can then cross out Estate Planning from your to do list.
