  3. Probate
    25%
    The Probate process is generally anticipated to be approximately one year. The Court will set a Status Conference shortly after that period of time and require the Administrator or Executor to report to the Court on the status of the Estate and ask the administrator or Executor to provide the Court with an estimate of completion. If the Probate is not closed within a year, the Court usually anticipates a more complicated Estate involving more assets, or out of state property.

Estate Probate in CA and out of state
We used the team for completing California's probate on an intestate will that included property out of state. The team handled the CA part with finesse and speed. They helped us acquire a second lawyer for the out of state work which will be completed in October 2021. In all we feel it was done well and correctly.

Good advice
Christina helped me sort out the particular considerations of a possible suit against a moving company. She was instructive, knowledgeable and helpful, ultimately suggesting the case was probably not worth having her office charge me for, and I appreciate her candor.

Great probate attorney
Miss Wickers gave me a consultation and listened to my needs and actually paid attention, unlike some attorney's out there. I had a family member pass away and Miss Wickers showed a lot of compassion and was very understanding of my situation. She help us through a difficult time. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs an attorney, especially an attorney that knows probate as well as she does.

A great family law attorney
I was desperately in need of a lawyer fast because my daughter's father served me with custody papers unexpectedly. I've never needed a lawyer of any type in the past. So, I didn't know where to turn, not even a referral from anyone. Actually, I had one referral and after talking to the attorney over the phone, I knew it would not work out. I found out about her father Rodney through a referral service and he was very helpful over the phone and recommended his daughter at a much cheaper rate than his. I scheduled a meeting with her and decided to let her take my cases right away. She is very nice and helpful. I felt like my questions were answered. My case went to mediation only. I requested that she come and she did and got the job done. Everything I wanted, I received. I was happy with the entire process. Through it all, my only area I was confused about is the charges for phone conversations versus in person meetings. She is awesome.

A True Professional
I have had the pleasure of knowing Christina Wickers for over 15 years and she is one of the most loyal, responsible, intelligent and kind people I know. If I ever need legal council or advice, Christina is the only person I look to because I trust her completely. We have a long history together and if I can say one thing that would best describe Christina, is that she truly cares about people and will always give her best. I'm truly honored to know Christina and proud to call her my friend. On a final note: Christina has surpassed many of her professional goals with numerous achievements on her journey and she is one Lawyer to watch.

Great lawyer for Probate!
She is a very intelligent person who is also a great communicator - a rare combination. She really looks out for my best interest. I have used the services of many attorneys and she is the only attorney I have ever completely trusted. I give her my highest recommendation!

Rude
Christina was incredibly rude during the consultation, talking over me and was not helpful at all. She sounded impatient and annoyed that I was asking for her help. Not a great way to get a client.
