Trusts

My husband and I went to meet Robin Bentler twice. The second time we went his office to sign the trust agreement. My husband and I had already disgusted the terms of the house, and we agree on finding the house as a community property. Robin Bentler insulted me and my husband by telling my husband... that if my husband put my name on the house as a community property, the next day, I can divorce my husband and take away half of the house. He also recommended that each of us should hire an attorney, and meet him. He was unethical, unprofessional and extremely rude . He told us that growing up, he had three step moms. None of his stepmoms treated him fairly. my husband has a son and a daughter. He had childhood personal issues with his stepmoms. That was how, Robin S Bentler, as an Attoreny treated us.

trust

Mr Robin Bentler has been very difficult with respect to communication. He has not answered or returned phone calls and emails. He asked for additional information that he then lost and blamed us for not sending it. For our trust review he charged almost 1000 in preparation and was clearly not p...repared.

Extremely knowledgeable and responsive

It’s surprising to me to read a negative comment regarding Robin Bentler on this website. I guess you can’t please all of the people all of the time. I’ve been a client of Robin for nearly 20 years and found that his responsiveness to my phone calls and e-mails has consistently exceeded my expectati...ons. His knowledge of law has provided great comfort and guidance to my immediate and extended family members who have also become clients. I have never known any professional able to make complicated issues as clear and simple to understand as Robin does. I’m frequently asked whom I recommend for estate planning matters and I always suggest Robin. Every person I’ve spoken with following my recommendation has been universally satisfied and appreciated the referral.

Great Attorney and Professional

Robin has performed many legal tasks for me for almost 20 years. He has always been upfront and honest with all of our dealings. His professional ethics has made him a candidate for many referrals from me and everyone has been very satisfied with his work. He has always kept me up to speed with my tr...usts and estate planning and many other issues as well. I highly recommend Robin as an estate planning attorney.

Dissatisfied

My sister and I used Robin Bentler in the administration of my parents' estate. I found his advice to lack clarity and specificity as to how the trust distributions were to be carried out. When I emailed him with questions, he rarely responded. Ultimately this lead to problems which I believe cou...ld have been avoided had he given both me and my sister clear, explicit information from the onset.
