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.

Thoughtful and Thorough

I am a client of Kristine Borgia for estate planning. She is a very thoughtful and thorough estate attorney. My experience was very positive even when discussing difficult topics, such as final wishes. She is tactful, has lots of experience with helping people with my particular set of life circumsta...nces, and was able to accommodate my specific needs. She was very flexible when scheduling our meetings and simplified the planning process by giving easy-to-understand instructions. Kristine is great with email communication, which is convenient for those who frequently travel. I highly recommend Kristine for estate planning if you are a busy professional and are new to legal services.

Trust Matters

Kristine Borgia was our attorney handling the disposition of my father's trust. It was an overwhelming situation for us. She is very knowledgeable in the handling of trusts and handled all matters involved from start to finish. Not only does she know her business but showed true compassion through... the whole process. She explained all the legal issues in ways that we understood and was always available if we needed any further work done. I would highly recommend her for these types of matters.

Conservertorship Attorney

Kristine is very knowledgeable and always kept my husband and I up to date with all the necessary paperwork and filings. She made the conservatorship for our son with special needs an easy process for us. It was an absolutely worry free process which speaks volumes, as everything that we have encou...ntered for our son's needs has been wrought with difficulties and barriers that we have had to learn on our own to navigate through. It was just so wonderful to turn this over to a professional who is knowledgeable and respectable.
