Extremely confident, skilled, and educated lawyer!

I wanted to take a moment to write a VERY positive review about my experience with Mr. Borden and his legal team. There really are not enough words to explain how thoughtful, confident and professional Mr. Borden’s legal demeanor is and how he guided my family and I through a very difficult time. ...My family and I were undergoing a very messy will settlement. We had hit an impasse in which one member of the family had determined they were owed the entirety of the will and had proceeded to have it changed after the passing of one of the will’s signing members. The remaining family, myself included, believed we were helpless and without any recourse. Luckily, we were put into contact with Mr. Borden, who immediately read and clearly explained the wording of the will, our rights, and recommendations on how to proceed. He offered immediate relief, and a much-needed positive, yet practical, outlook on the case. He guided us with patience, calm, and a very professional demeanor, writing very strong, and well-thought out letters to the opposing lawyer. Mr. Borden stayed focused to the important points of the case, and never got distracted by personal rhetoric being thrown by the other side. We felt constantly supported, and appreciated the skill in which he navigated our case. You can easily feel overwhelmed and without proper knowledge when you enter into a legal arena on personal matters. Mr. Borden is absolutely the right lawyer to go to for a better understanding of your legal rights and a fair handling of your case. I HIGHLY recommend him and will use him in any future legal matters.

Platinum level legal services at an extremely fair rate

My sister, cousin, and I came to Mr. Borden because we needed to find an effective way to resolve a particularly tough family estate issue with an unwilling family member. We wanted to resolve the issue fairly, respectfully. But we needed to make sure we were effective. Mr. Borden and his staff al...ways kept the focus on the law and issues at hand. They set a respectful but direct tone in communication with the other side that yielded immediate results. They brought an extremely impressive understanding of case law. We saw immediate movement and results within a week that we hadn't seen in months. Throughout the process, Mr. Borden was level-headed, fair-minded, and very reasonable in describing potential costs and next steps. Within several months, we reached a resolution with which we were all incredibly pleased without having to go to court. We could not have asked for a better result. If you need strong family estate/trust legal counsel in Los Angeles county, I recommend, without reservation, Alex Borden and his team. These situations are full of stress and high emotion. Mr. Borden is the pilot you want through this turbulence. He will land the plane with everyone safe inside.

First Class Representation

I am extremely grateful to Alex Borden for his excellent representation. He has helped me to navigate and understand my responsibilities and options in a complicated and contentious estate matter. Alex brings a wealth of experience and competence in the field of Probate, Trust Administration and Lit...igation. He is extremely thorough, responsive and aggressive when need be. All of the aforementioned qualities, combined with an excellent understanding of family dynamics in such situations, allows me to give him the highest possible recommendation.
