Retired teacher, CSULB student teacher supervisor

With his profound knowledge, clear interpretations of the law, and congenial manner, Justin Betance has provided me with the professional advice and guidance I needed to secure and complete my Living Trust. Thanks to Justin, I now have the kind of peace of mind that only comes with working with such ...an expert in his field. Justin’s precision of language and sensitivity to my individual circumstances helped me understand my finances, as he went beyond the basics by actually engaging with and asking the right questions of investment bankers, stock managers, and financial planners. I am extremely grateful for Justin’s expertise because he has not only given me a rock-solid family trust, but he has also solidified my estate plans for a financially healthy future. Thank you, counselor!

Amended trust

My husband passed away last year and I needed to amend our trust, create a new advance health care directive and draw up new durable power of attorney papers. I really did not know who to call and was definately concerned about finding the right lawyer. Justin was recommend by a friend of mine and I ...am glad that I called. Due to Covid, Justin offered to pick up papers at my house since he was working from home. When Justin completed the documents, he came by in person again to drop off my original trust with the proper amendments. Justin also sent me the proper documentation that was needed to make two vehicle title transfers, and gave me advice about a business issue. Justin was fair, kind and compassionate. I would recommend Justin if you are in need of his services.

Bankruptcy

Going through such a difficult and emotional process can be hard enough by itself, but thankfully I had an amazing lawyer by side. He guided me through the all the ins and outs of bankruptcy and brought me peace of mind whenever I had an issue. He is super professional but also down to earth and easy... to communicate with. I highly recommend working with him!

Helped me to turn complicated matters into easily solvable situations

I have worked alongside Mr. Betance for well over a decade, and he has displayed time and again that what he truly loves to do most is to help people to solve any problems/obstacles that are in their path, whether legal or other. Justin has a unique skill set to accomplish this, as he is accomplished... not only in law, but in all aspects of business, finance, real estate, taxes, etc. He has a truly uncanny ability to navigate the waters of all of these disciplines with ease, as he naturally sees how they intersect, and what's more, he is able to make the intricacies of these converging disciplines extremely accessible to the layperson. I have consulted Mr. Betance on a number of issues over the years, and there is literally not one time that he has not been able to help me to understand the position that I am in and what steps I would need to take to resolve my problems. He has helped me to understand several tax situations that I've needed help with, and while I am not extremely knowledgeable regarding tax proceedings, he has always come to my level to help me to understand things on a fundamental level in a very comfortable way. I will be going to Mr. Betance for all foreseeable concerns that I have in the future, and I highly recommend his services to any potential clients who have legal concerns that they are in need of assistance with. I could not possibly think more highly of Mr. Betance, his professionalism, and the quality of the service that he provides.

Legal Document Review

Working with Justin Betance was a great experience. Not only was he very knowledgeable from a legal perspective, he was able to incorporate his business and investment acumen into the process. Justin reviewed our stock options agreement and offered constructive feedback on language. More importantly..., he was able to expand on the scope and provide insight on potential scenarios that we would want to consider or run into (longer game scenarios and events we had not thought of), and ultimately gave us concrete steps and solutions to address it. We would recommend him and consult/retain his services again in the future.
