Impeccable Service

Mr. Kaiden carefully advised us on a family trust and estate plan. Like many who do not yet consider themselves elders, we had no concept of elder law and the simple protections we could put in place now. This has created a great sense of security. Similarly, Mr. Kaiden's tax knowledge (in our partic...ular case concerning the issue of citizenship) has been invaluable. It was rather frightening to discover the potential catastrophes our original trust harboured. The plan that Mr. Kaiden drew up for us is completely accessible in terms of managing the jargon and discerning the different instruments of protection used. He walked us step by step through funding, and has been consistently available to guide us by email and phone throughout the process as we encounter any difficulties. What was extra comforting about our experience was that Mr. Kaiden really took the time to know and understand our family such that each one of us, as far as the plan goes, feels safe and respected.

Can't recommend highly enough

Randall has been a lifesaver. He quite literally saved our family from legal paralysis and financial ruin when our elderly father suffered a sudden, catastrophic accident with no power of attorney, estate planning, or longterm care provisions in place. Randall took the time to carefully and thoroughl...y explain all aspects of our case before we even signed on as clients. He is clearly extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of elder law from trust establishment to tax implications. Further, he has behaved with the utmost professionalism, kindness and compassion in the ten months we have worked with him. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needed Elder Law services in southern California.

Honorable

Randall Kaiden has handled my mother's legal issues with integrity. He is honest and does exactly what he says he will do without the superfluous extras. I whole heartedly recommend him.

Very Compassionate, Knowledgeable and Prompt

I am extremely pleased with my experience with Randall Kaiden. Out of a sea of attorneys that seemed to only want to participate in more lucrative "Senior Life Plans", Mr. Kaiden was the one who responded with the information I needed in a situation that required timely legal assistance for my hospit...alized, aging father. He got me the correct documents and instructed me on procedures and points of law in order for me to help my Dad. His kind and compassionate nature made a difficult time a little easier for me. He followed up with me to make certain that everything had gone smoothly with the banks. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of an attorney specializing in Elder Law.

AMAZING Attorney!

AMAZING Attorney! Randall F. Kaiden helped me and my family to create a trust. First, I had a very impressive free consultation in detailed. Mr. Kaiden always took the time to explain everything to me, my husband, my children and to make sure we understood. He responded quickly to our questions, eve...n in the evenings or on the weekends, which gave us peace of mind. He was patient, thorough, and always professional. It would be a pleasure to do business with him again. He is preparing my retirement trust. I and my family highly recommend Mr. Kaiden. Shirin,
