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.

Heart and soul

I was referred to Ms. Chiu by a trusted advisor when my husband and I were looking for a new estate planning attorney. We are so happy that he referred her to us. She is not only knowledgeable in her subject matter but she is very kind, patient and diligent in her work style. She is always made he...rself available to us with questions, comments or concerns. Ms. Chiu helped us work through some very sticky matters in the most best way possible with kid skin gloves. Her professionalism comes out through and through from the moment you meet her or speak to her over the phone. We highly recommend Ms. Chiu for estate planning needs.

Estate Planning

My wife and I set up our estate planning package with Tiffany. From the beginning, Tiffany was very friendly and professional. On the first meeting, she explained all the different types of trusts in detail, along with all other ancillary documents and their purposes. We also discussed possible sc...enarios that pertained to our situation. Prior to the second meeting, she provided the drafts of the estate planning documents, which we gladly found to be very detailed and thorough. During the signing, she clearly explained all the details of our estate plan, and very responsive to all our questions. We had a positive experience and very pleased with Tiffany's service.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

My husband and I were in search of an estate planning attorney, and looked around for quite a while. Tiffany came highly recommended, and we were not disappointed – she is an amazing attorney. Tiffany is extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, organized, and personable. She is genuinely nice, an...d cares about her clients. She listened to our concerns, and answered all of our questions in great detail. Tiffany has the ability to explain the numerous and complicated laws regarding estate planning, wills, and estate taxes in a clear concise way that is easy to assimilate. Moreover, she goes out of her way to make the whole process easier, including meeting with us early in the morning to accommodate our work schedules. The final documents, which were customized to fit our needs down to the last (sometimes very specific) details, were presented in an organized binder which makes referring to documents easy. She has given us great peace of mind knowing that our children’s future is well taken care of. We highly recommend Tiffany.
