Estate Trust

We had an excellent experience working with this Mr. Lawrence A Ajalat, estate trust attorney. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly thorough in explaining every step of the process. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but he made it very easy. His professionali...sm, attention to detail, and genuine care set him apart. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided thoughtful guidance tailored to my specific situation. We felt confident and at ease knowing our estate and trust were handled with such care and expertise. We highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and highly skilled estate and trust planning services.

Larry has been fantastic—so efficient and easy to work with. He delivers great work for a great price. We’ll definitely hire him again and highly recommend him. And since I rarely write reviews, you can trust this comes from genuine appreciation.

Great experience working with Larry Ajalat (Estate/Trust)

We were fortunate to have met Larry Ajalat from a friend of the family. We weren't sure how to go about completing an estate/plan, but after meeting Larry, he educated us on the need/process: Larry made the process VERY EASY and SEAMLESS! I highly recommend reaching out to Larry if you are in nee...d of an estate/trust, or if you're unsure what is truly needed. Larry is a tremendous resource who really helped us through the process.

So happy we chose Larry!

We my husband and I met with Larry. He is a very nice man. We felt comfortable with him. Very thorough and explained everything for us to understand. Always answers questions and I ask a lot. He would still answer any questions today and it’s been a few months since he took care of us’

Outstanding Experience and Highly Recommended

We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with LAWRENCE A. AJALAT| AJALAT & AJALAT, LLP (AKA Larry) to complete our Living Trust. I was referred to Larry by my first cousin who is an attorney. We had procrastinated on setting up our living trust. Some of the main reasons were, not knowing who... to use and trust. The cost that attorneys and companies were charging. The amount of time and paperwork to complete the trust. All that went away with one call to Ajalat & Ajalat. Larry was knowledgeable, professional, affordable and efficient. Also a very good person. I could not recommend Larry enough!
