Randall F Kaiden

Randall has been there for our family since day one helping our elderly mother to apply and get approved for Medi-Cal. He is very experienced and his knowledge is second to none! He and his staff are amazing and always available when we need help. We interviewed different elder law attorneys but we ...are very happy we went with Randall as we continue to use him. He also did a Living Trust for another member of our family. My family and I highly recommend Randall F. Kaiden for any Elder Law, Trust or Estate Planning issues you may need help with. Thank you again Randall & paralegals for all of your help assisting our 90 year old mother and our family during this very difficult period watching her mental health decline. We appreciate everything you have done to help us. May God bless you for your kindness and consideration.

Randall and I went to law school together in the mid-90's. I thought he was a very nice guy, but we unfortunately lost contact. Little did I know that 20 years later, after researching potential attorneys and checking out his reviews, reputation and credentials, I'd select him as the estate plannin...g attorney for my parents! He did a great job on what turned out to be a complicated estate plan (the family is still growing, and one of the grandchildren is special needs, which raised a lot of back-and-forth over the need for/terms of a Special Needs Trust). He was very detail-oriented and professional - he put a ton of time in to get everything right, considering every possibility, notwithstanding that he was drafting all the documents at a flat rate. My brother and I were very particular about numerous terms of the documents, and Randall was always very patient and helpful throughout numerous (and I mean numerous) e-mails and telephone conferences. And, my parents really liked him and felt comfortable with him, which I think is very important when anyone is drafting an estate plan. I will be contacting him soon to set up my OWN estate plan - I don't think I can give a better recommendation than that.

Setting up a trust seemed rather overwhelming at first, but with Mr. Kaiden's expertise and professionalism we were able to execute it without the stress I initially feared would be involved. He explains the process well and is always ready to answer all queries in a manner in which all can comprehen...d. Not only is Mr. Kaiden a reputable lawyer, he is also unpretentious and honest in his approach. It is also important to add that his staff is also very pleasant.

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.

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.
