Best Family Representative

Kristine did an awesome job for my parents & brother. She was caring & professional & you can tell she's not about just making money. She was the best family representative; she took very well care of my family's desires. She dealt with the entire process while my sister & i were able to mourn. I abs...olutely recommend her 100% thank you Kristine

Conservator

Since my previous probate attorney was not able to handle my case, I was referred to Ms. Borgia. I was very pleased how quickly she was able orientate herself to the complexities of the Conservatorship that was in place for my developmently disabled adult daughter. I found her knowledge of probate la...w and issues to be complete and her legal advise on my case to be viable. She helped me to feel comfortable with the outcome of my last court hearing which supported my daughter's current board and care placement and the current Conservatorship.

Probate Attorney

Ms Borgia was retained regarding a rather difficult and complex estate/probate. She displayed an excellent understanding of the law and communicated it well to the Administrator. Her demeanor at all times was very professional instilling confidence in me as she walked me (the out-of-state Administr...ator) through the intricacies of California probate law. The Court hearings went well and her pleadings/filings were accepted without exception. She was pleasant to work with and very reachable when we needed answers and/or guidance on a particular issue. I would highly recommend her for estate matters.

Excellence!!!

When I came to Kristine for help, she was literally my last resort. I had lost my mom and grandma three months apart, and was under alot of stress. As the only heir... I still ended up needing to go to probate court. I had hired a paralegal who further complicated my case. Because of that, I was t...hen forced to seek an attorney who quoted me 6 times the amount, and couldn't make me any guarantees. Finally, as a last resort, a friend referred me to Kristine... She was smart, calm, confident and very reassuring. She had a great understanding of the issue and quickly simplified my case. In addition to that, she was more than fair in her fees. She took such a load of stress off my daughter and I, I don't know what we would have done without her. I had been to court 4 times prior to resolve this matter... and she resolved it within 3 minutes before the judge. I recommend her highly and without a seconds hesitation. I am extremely grateful for her help!!!
