AN ESTATE PLANNING SERVICE

JULIA became our estate planning lawyer after we had done a fairly wide search of prospects. We found her to be knowledgeable, and solicitous and supportive of our needs. She preformed her services promptly, and efficiently, and her cost were fair and reasonable - a plus when looking for legal servic...es in the desert. The extra benefit of having Julia as your legal advisor is her "user friendly" approach to serving her clients. This was particularly helpful to my wife who is less familiar with legal needs and procedures. She also is a CPA and, while we have not had a need for this service, it is nice to have it available as the need arises.

Unsurpassed Estate Planning Services

As a single, newly retired professisonal, I recently returned home to the United States following 19 years living and working overseas in Asia and Australia. I was in critical need of finding a legal professional as soon as possible to implement the establishment of an estate trust on my behalf. Afte...r making a number of inquiries, I was given a high recommendation by a friend to contact the firm of Julia Burt. It was excellent advice. I am extremely pleased with the high level of personal service and expertise I have been provided. The establishment of my trust was carried out and completed within a very reasonable period of time, in simple fashion, and with a minimum number of office visits. Personal follow-up has been an integral part of the firm's policy and protocol. I recommend the law firm of Julia Burt to anyone who is seeking personal and legal assistance at the highest level.

Competent, Prompt Expertise - Thank Goodness We Found Julia!

My parents thought they had a thorough and properly prepared family estate plan--they certainly paid for one. Because of my mother's poor health, I reviewed all of their estate planning and trust documents...and unfortunately found a number of errors and oversights. A retired banker friend prov...ided an enthusiastic recommendation of Julia Burt. Julia exceeded our expectations. Julia met with us and reviewed all of the documents. She corrected errors, and redid items as necessary to ensure that my parents' wishes will be honored. She streamlined one 88 page trust document into an 18 page document that was clearer and more precise. She even took everything to their house on a Saturday for signing so my mom didn't have to go to the office. All of this was done in a timely manner to accommodate my mother's health and my travel to Palm Desert. Julia's card says she is an attorney and C.P.A. She is also a real estate broker and notary. It was a pleasure to do business with an attorney that undersells her expertise, and over-delivers her services. It is also a relief to find an attorney we can count on to be responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone needing estate planning, trust or probate work.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
