Smooth process

We used Tiffany to help develop a will based plan for my mother. She was great at explaining everything and made the process super simple and easy. Definitely recommend her to anyone and planning to use her for our own trust.

Ms.

Our family hired Tiffany to help us with the estate planning after the passing of our last parent. We found her to be outstanding. Competent, compassionate, professional. She has the skill to listen, adjust agendas while still ‘moving’ her agenda to get things done in a timely manner. ...I join my family in recommending her to anyone in need of this kind of service.

Professional , approachable & knowledgeable

It was such a pleasure to work with Tiffany Chiu on our living trust. She patiently answered all our many questions and is very approachable and knowledgeable. She did an excellent job organizing our trust so it is usable by any lay person. Tiffany always responded quickly to any inquiries and laid o...ut the whole process in easy to understand steps. I would highly recommend her as a person and as a professional.

The absolute best

Almost two years ago I made the mistake of getting my will set up through a law firm I found online. I thought they did a good job with the will, but they passed me off to someone else to get a living trust setup, and I had to arrange for all the notary and witness signatures, and figure out how to f...ile and transfer everything into the trusts name. It was a massive hassle. Two years later a friend referred me to Tiffany Chiu, and I suddenly realized what a great attorney really was. Wow, what a difference! Tiffany was so much more thorough, that she caught tons of things that the first attorney did not do, and never asked me. Plus, Tiffany handled my Living Trust as well, and arranged for their notary, witnesses, and documents to transfer everything into the trust. That made the entire process so much easier and faster! Tiffany did not rush me. She took the time to get to know my specific situation, made recommendations that would be customized to my personal benefit, and explained all the legal verbiage in easy to understand ways for me. It was such a massive difference from the first attorney I saw. It is not hyperbole to say that Tiffany is the best, most professional, most thorough, most efficient, and most personable attorney I have ever come across. I wish all attorneys would take a class from Tiffany on how to treat their clients. She is the best!

Client

Tiffany is one of the best estate planning attorneys out there. Her attention to detail. Ability to explain all the legal jargon and just putting her clients at ease are just a few of her characteristics. She reaches out to her clients first to follow and see how they are doing and really is a trus...ted advisor.
