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!

Legal support for commercial tenant leases
As a commercial property manager in the Huntington Beach area, I hired Justin Betance to review my options in dealing with a problematic tenant who was in breach of our lease terms, including unlawful modification of the building. Justin reviewed our tenant contract, he discussed our urgency to evict the tenant, and he recommended several common-sense scenarios for a quick resolution of our dispute. In the end, Justin acted as our intermediary with the tenant, giving him a fair offer to vacate the unit by a date certain. I appreciated working with Justin, because, as a lawyer, he combines common sense and business sense, which resulted in a successful, no-stress resolution of our dispute with the tenant.

Real Estate
Justin responded to my request in timely manner, listened to my request and suggested several avenues. He was courteous, professional. I was very upset when I called and he was able to calm my nerves, walk me through the process and I'm very, very satisfied with his service and professionalism in helping me with my problems.

I felt comfortable the first time I met Justin.
Because of our health, my better half and I needed to get our affairs in order. It is a hard thing to realize that at some point you need to plan for what happens later in life. Justin made the whole process painless and encouraged us to decide just what WE wanted to do and helped us create a trust and will that made us feel like a ton of bricks were taken off our shoulders. To all that read this....the sooner you handle your affairs, the better you will feel. You just never know...

Absolutely recommend Justin M Betance
When received a letter from the IRS I didn't know what to do. Justin came highly recommended so I called him immediately. Justin knew just what to do, he helped me quickly and efficiently. He was professional and calming at the same time. Justin and his staff were there for all my questions and always kept me informed as to what was happening. Justin was able to resolve my problems in a short time. IRS letters are always scary, I appreciate Justin and his staff and all of the effort and work they put into my case. I would highly recommenced Justin and his staff for all of your tax needs.

Amazing Experience – Highly Recommend
Justin is an amazing lawyer! I hired Justin to help settle an estate and navigate through the many moving parts in the process. Justin was awesome, very knowledgeable, supportive, and quick to respond to questions. He helped guide me through the entire process and was very good at explaining everything to me during a difficult and complicated time. Justin is experienced in many different parts of the legal process, which was very nice when dealing with real estate, tax, and estate issues. I would highly recommend Justin to anyone and I already have Justin helping me out on my estate planning.

Amazing Attorney
I have consulted/hired Mr. Betance on countless occasions. His breadth and depth of knowledge pertaining to business, tax, and real estate are second to none. Further, his "bedside manner" is such that you better understand your situation after having consulted with him, and feel better about where you stand. Mr. Betance's professionalism and personalized care make him my first choice every time I have something even remotely pertaining to law. You can't go wrong by calling 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.

Consultation and Advisement
I called Justin with a fairly serious issue my company is facing and he was extremely helpful. From the moment you hop on the phone with him his professionalism and intelligence are immediately apparent. He is to the point in the best way possible and really cuts to the heart of the issue to help you make the right move. He helped us out further with very little notice and gave us great advice for moving forward. I would recommend him highly to anyone I know or do business with and we will definitely be using his services as we continue to grow our brands. Top notch guy. Thanks Justin!

Our Experience with Justin Betance
We live in Washington State and needed a lawyer that knew California law. Justin was recommended to us and we have been very please. Our case involved a lease for a home we own in So. CA. We were able to work with Justin via phone, e -mail, and registered mail. He understood the laws we were concerned with and had the ability to explain them to us as well as work well with the other attorney. Justin was very accessible, he returned calls quickly. He was able to resolve our issue very much to our satisfaction.

Savoury - Fusion Grill
I was referred to attorney Justin Betance by a friend. Given the nature and with short notice, he didn't hesitate to provide his service though he had pending cases. Mr. Betance was professional but yet very genuine that I didn't fear the word "attorney" attached to his name. Thank you for your expertise which made the legal language seems less intimidating.
