He’s the best.

I hired Joel when my father passed away and needed to set up a trust for myself. He has helped me every step of the way, you won’t need to find anyone else. Once you start working with him, you automatically become part of the family. He cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for them.

Great to work with

I am an experienced elder law attorney, and my practice focuses on Medi-Cal for nursing homes and VA non-service connected pensions, but the interpretations of the rules vary county by county. I contacted Joel as a trusted peer to review a VA asset protection trust I had drafted for a San Diego clie...nt. I asked him to point out any improvements or changes that could be made for the purpose of San Diego County's treatment of the trust from a Medi-Cal perspective. Joel was thorough, professional, detailed, prompt, knowledgeable, and clear in his assessment of the trust, and his assistance was very valuable to me. I would highly recommend him to other attorneys and to clients.

Highly Recommended

I have referred clients to Mr. Weissler as well as been a client myself because he is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is thorough, thoughtful and has an attention to detail. He takes time to explain issues, and the consequences thereof, to his clients so that they may make informed, intel...ligent decisions. His office staff is professional and courteous. The highest recommendation I can give lies simply in the fact that I have chosen him to handle my personal estate planning needs.

Conscientious, Caring Attorney

Joel is an exceptional lawyer. He is conscientious, caring and concerned about his clients, always letting the client know what his/her options are and his best judgment - which is excellent - as to the benefits of each way to proceed, in situations that range from very simple to very complex. He is ...an excellent attorney for me to refer my clients to - and I do - because I know that they will receive the best care possible for their particular issues, whether they be estate and generational planning, asset protection or anything that he does. Joel is a lawyer who is not just good, but exceptional, and that is why I unreservedly recommend him and his office. Go see him.
