Probate and living trust

If i can discribe this attorney in one word is "determined". When I first met Mr Jackson i thought he was one of many attorney's and had the same ethic as other attorneys. I had gone to 8 attorney's for advice as my case was putty difficult when it came to a probate matter and clearing my name. Other... attorneys suggest to just not fight as there was a WILL involved and my chances were slim to none. When I met Mr. Jackson he told me other wise, he saw my case in a different way where he suggested a better outcome. I was stapticle At the beginning and scared on the way he was handling the matter “aggressively” as I’ve never gone through something like this. But he walked me through the whole case, Mr.Jackson would call me every time when there was changes in my case and included me on any information needed and in anything he suggested me doing from my part. I Believed in him 100% and less than 5 months I noticed my case going in a positive way because of Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson can do the impossibles, he does an amazing work because I've noticed he stays updated with the statues and laws to help with mine and any case his working on. He does an amazing work and stays in top of your case. All I can say is considered him first, just know that your not hiring Mr. Jackson To be your “buddy buddy” /“friend”....your hiring him to become your profesional advocate/ attorney and you will receive that, just trust in him when it comes to represent you. He is there to represent your case and you. Mr Jackson has been dealing with my case for almost 3 yrs now. He has the the attitude of a great fighter and that's the attitude you need from an attorney to help you better any case. Mr. Jackson has given me a piece of mind including in my living trust situation. At first I was upset of my whole probate situation but knowing no wrongdoing from my part And having Mr. Jackson to confirm that in the legal matter to the court was a bit challenging. Mr. Jackson does charge what he is worth in how much work and time he puts into the case. I really do recommend Mr. Jackson give him a try you will not lose anything even if you go on in for a free consultation. If you have a good chance to better your case it’s worth staying with him and he can give you that piece of mine which to me is more worth than money.

Living Trust Services

I've been working on my 92 year old Uncle for a while now to get his Living Trust completed and it wasn't until his wife got ill he decided to do it. It was no easy task to complete as Dorian Jackson the Trust Attorney had to make a hospital visit first to check the competency of his ill wife. Once h...e determined she was competent he gathered all the necessary information from my uncle and drafted the Living Trust in less than 24 hours. I know everyone thinks they'll live forever and they don't need a trust. This is not true and from my experience your life can be extinguished in a matter of seconds. If you're one that doesn't have a Living Trust the State of CA has one for you. It's called Intestate Succession where the State indicates who receives your property whether you like it or not. Dorian Jackson of The DLJ Law Firm is a highly seasoned and trusted Probate & Estate Planning Attorney that I recommend to everyone. Peter

Quintessential, Knowledgeable Attorney

Dorian took the time, effort & energy to consult & advise me on a Probate matter. He was efficient, concise, astute and patient explaining the legal parameters. You can tell from his demeanor that he is truly trying to assist in finding you the most viable and cost-worthy solution. He won't take a ca...se "just because", I recommend him highly and will definitely refer him to anyone needing a great attirney that listens & knows the law.
