Top notch estate guidance and advise

Extremely competent, thorough and proactive. I had a consultation and we discussed my needs and her ideas about structure. Couldn’t have been better. Very professional and easy to understand and work with.

Serendipity and Peace of Mind

Like many people, my husband and I procrastinated when it came to estate-planning. Recently, we brought up the topic during a casual conversation with a longtime friend, who's a retired attorney in Newport Beach. He strongly suggested we get our ducks in a row and promptly referred us to Kimberly L...ee at Desert Law Group. We then made an appointment with Kimberly, and she thoroughly explained all our options. We were so impressed with her, we didn't hesitate to retain Desert Law Group. Within two weeks, we returned to her office, where we were presented with a packet of documents outlining all our wishes with regards to our estate. After reviewing and signing our papers, we left with a feeling of relief and accomplishment. Also, we feel like we've made some new friends, who truly care about helping us. Kimberly and the Desert Law Group staff are genuinely lovely people, and we are very fortunate to have found them. Perhaps we owe our attorney friend in Newport a bottle of really good wine for giving us such a great referral.

10 stars!

I knew I had been derelict not having a will; I didn't know that "regular people" did estate planning or had trusts. Attorney Kimberly Lee spent at least an hour to carefully explain what I needed and why, and made the process seem incredibly simple and straight forward, guiding me through every dec...ision I had to make along the way with a wealth of experience and knowledge. I spent an hour today with Attorney Maria Gomez who reviewed all the final documents, making sure I had a clear understanding. I came away with so much more than a very thick and impressive looking binder with my trust's name on the cover; I came away feeling comfortable and confident that my estate planning and providing for my kids is in excellent hands. The entire staff is welcoming, kind and eager to help-even resolving unrelated cell phone issues. I highly recommend The Desert Law Group. Thank you!

The Best

The Desert Law Group is a fabulous law firm. Kimberly and her staff are very welcoming (we even get hugs when we come in) and have addressed our every concern. They even reach out to us for a review of our trust from time to time. I highly recommend this law firm. The Annual Client Appreciation Even...t was extremely organized and very informative.

REVIEW

We had our initial trust done in Northern California and just needed to make some updates. We offered her the disc to make the changes and she said the laws had changed and she needed to re-do it completely for more than $4000. Our old lawyer back home made all the changes and updates in accordance w...ith all new laws for less than $500.

While I am sorry that these prospective clients did not like the price we quoted, there is a reason for it. We are not a word-processing firm. If we were only to modify the original trust, we would be responsible and liable under our insurance for the entire document, including the original attorney's work. As a result, our office policy is to re-draft the trust according to our own standards and to stand behind it. The price we quoted included not only re-drafting the entire trust, but also includes capital gains tax planning, and all the ancillary legal documents needed to help protect them in the event of incapacity. We sincerely wish this couple the best and are happy that they found a solution that was more in their price range.
