He's the BEST Elder and Estate Attorney in San Diego

Vinnie has helped us with our legal needs several times since 2016. He has helped create a Supplemental Needs Trust for a disabled relative, updated our wills and created and updated a Trust for my husband and myself. He is very thorough, helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Vincent for y...our legal needs!

Gene Basye

When I recently found myself in need of legal counsel, Mr. Casiano was recommended to me by a trusted friend. A few years ago, he had helped her and her family with trust and will matters, and she didn't hesitate to send me to him. In addition to Vinnie's prodigious knowledge of wills, trusts and est...ate planning, his expertise in Elder Law proved to be immensely helpful when the matriarch of the family reached the age where she needed to go to a permanent skilled nursing facility. He guided the family through the confusing realm of Social Security, Medicare and Medi-Cal, and he showed them how to best utilize those programs for the benefit of the lady. Just as importantly, he provided the family with information on how to deal with the sometimes less than helpful nursing home and hospital doctors, administrators and staff, so that their loved one got the best care at the least expense possible. Subsequently, upon her death, Vinnie's legal expertise and actions resulted in maintaining the maximum value of the estate that she was able to bequeath to her children. The situation I needed Vinnie for was very similar. I had a relative whose health was in steady decline, and I enlisted Vinnie's help in dealing with hospitals, emergency rooms and nursing homes. He was in the process of gaining a conservatorship status for me, when my relative died. At that point, he shifted to helping me with processing a will that was executed by my relative, and with the necessary filings with Probate Court. His advice and counsel have been stellar, and he is helping to move things along expeditiously. He has a genuine desire to treat his clients in a friendly and respectful manner, and his sense of humor helps to blunt some of the inevitable angst that occurs when dealing with legal matters and the court system. In short, I highly recommend Mr. Casiano to anyone looking for expert legal advice from a highly skilled and knowledgeable attorney.

Estate planning, Elder law

Vincent was great! We recommend him if your looking for a great lawyer to setup a living trust. He’s extremely knowledgeable about elder law and estate planning. He explained to us how and why we needed to set up our living trust the way that we did.

Extremely Helpful

After my father passed away, we were left with a lot of questions and concerns. We called Vincent Casiano and he spoke with us about our situation. He put our minds at ease which was very helpful. He was knowledgeable, professional and we would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

On the Spot Assistance

Mr. Casiano answered the phone and took my call. Although today it is common and expected to pay for assistance, especially in his field as an attorney. What impressed me, he took the time to listen regarding a few senior questions, and provided helpful suggestions. I appreciated Mr. Casiano's ...taking the time; I would definitely consider retaining him for services if necessary at a later date.
