Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

I met with Elise recently to consult with her about Estate Planning. She helped me understand how vital it is to set up a trust, will, and healthcare directives. She is extremely genuine, and an expert in her field. Elise was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need... of an Estate Planning, Wills and Trust, or Probate attorney.

Great experience!

Elise is fabulous to work with. She's very professional, extremely knowledgeable, approachable, as well as easy to contact. She was very flexible, going to the home of a family member who is not very mobile. She was able to answer all my questions and complete my issues quickly. Her rates are ver...y reasonable. I really appreciated the free initial consult where I was able to determine if I did need her services. It was an all around great experience!

great estate planning lawyer!

When I needed to make a trust, I had a friend recommend attorney Elise Paul to do the plan. I was very pleased with the comprehensive estate plan that Elise created for me including a living trust, pour-over will, and an advanced health care directive. She made sure that everything was as I wanted it... to be and she was very easy to work with. She has a great attitude and she seems to truly enjoy helping others through this process. She is knowledgeable and efficient and I highly recommend this attorney.

Trusts lawyer | Dec 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Elise for over 10 years as an office neighbor at our suite on HIgh Bluff Drive in San Diego, as counsel for separate beneficiaries on a trust matter and as opposing counsel on yet another trust administration case. I telephone Elise frequently for her opinion on trust and probate matters. We have lunch to review estate planning and tax updates and to share our estate plan documents, ideas and San Diego Probate Court procedures. I have no hesitation recommending Elise for any probate, trust administration or litigation matter."

Estate planning lawyer | Oct 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Elise Paul on several matters involving estate planning, wills and trusts and feel very comfortable endorsing her as a highly intelligent and very competent attorney. I have sought out her advice on the subject many times and she has always willingly answered my questions or guided me when I needed it. Ms. Paul is a very skilled financial planner and understands the needs and concerns of her clients. Planning for eventual death comes with a series of its own issues, and Ms. Paul works with her clients to ease their minds while at the same time making very good decisions for them because of her expertise."
