Elder Law

I specifically looking for someone with expertise in elder law and I came to the right place. Sandra was very detailed and had a great way of explaining things so that the layperson understood. Highly recommend her office.

Very disappointed

We had a phone consultation with Sandra after waiting 4 days to get said appointment. During the consultation, we explained the issues and told her that this was a very time-sensitive matter. During the phone conversation, she implied that she could help with the financial elder abuse of my father. ...We sent all documents she requested for her review within a few hours of the phone call. We never heard back from her. I emailed her several times and called her office several times and still never heard anything. If she did not want to take the case, that would have been fine but she should have contacted us either way. Her failure to contact us led us to lose valuable time in a very time-sensitive matter. I was very surprised and disappointed in her failure to contact us, which seems either irresponsible or lacking in concern for our family's legal issues. My father has since passed away, further complicating the issues of the case.

Fanstastic Information

My sibling are in disagreement with one of our siblings on financing of our mothers' care, however Ms. Diaz was able to be a fantastic third party and give us honest options for our mother. Ms. Diaz, did a great job directing us on what our options were to help us take care of our mother. Thank You ...Ms. Diaz I highly recommend her.

Great Estate Planning and Elder Law Lawyer

I was referred to Sandra from a friend. I finally got to the point in my life that it was time to get a trust. I should have done it years ago but I guess it all worked out because Ms Diaz really helped explain everything. She took her time with me and made sure I completed everything. She also made ...sure all my assets were going to be protected and we talked about what I want for my family. I spoke to three different lawyers and Ms. Diaz made me the most comfortable. I've already had my brother visit her as well. Don't put off getting your trust done. It's a relief to finally do it and feel secure. Thank you Ms. Diaz!

Elder law lawyer | Nov 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Here’s a draft you can drop right into Avvo: I’ve been practicing criminal defense for 25 years, and for the last decade, Sandra Diaz has been my go-to lawyer for elder law and estate planning matters. Every client I’ve referred to her has come back telling me how clearly she explained their options and how genuinely cared for they felt. Sandra is extremely knowledgeable in this area of the law, but just as important, she has the patience and compassion to guide families through some very stressful decisions. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone in the Long Beach area who needs help with estate planning or elder law issues."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
