Ethan is The Best!

Over the years, I've had minimal contact with lawyers, and what little I had always confirmed my worst suspicions. Happily, Ethan does not fit that mold. He's incredibly well-informed on Estate Planning matters, thorough beyond any expectation I had, and did a great job on our comprehensive package w...hich included a Living Trust, two Pour-Over Wills, two Advance Healthcare Directives, two Powers of Attorney, and a new Deed/Title of our home. Sure, you can find cheaper attorneys in the area, but if you want the best, Ethan is it. Don't let the initial slightly cool and aloof manner put you off. My partner and I are so glad we stuck with him, for we found a trust-worthy man of integrity and grace who we feel totally confidant having as our attorney for years to come.

Extremely knowledgeable in estate planning

We found Ethan Miller-Bazemore on Avvo and Yelp and chose him because, of his reputation of being one of the top attorneys in Orange County, California. Ethan structured an estate plan for us that saved us a lot of money and gave us peace of mind. He is extremely knowlegeable in the areas of estate ...and asset protection planning. He is reasonable, listens well, gets the work done on time, is flexible and easy to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend him to our relatives and friends.

Fantastic Lawer!

Mr. Miller-Bazemore came highly recommended to me. I found Ethan to be very thorough, honest and dependable. The level of knowledge and attention to detail he provides is exceptional. Whenever I have contacted Ethan, he either speaks with me immediately or he gets back to me within a timely matter.... He is always willing to answer my questions, hear my concerns and actually take time to explain the various aspects of my case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, including my own family and friends. Ethan has earned my future business and most importantly my trust.

Very satsified with Ethan's Trust/Estate services

Ethan successfully handled my late father's trust and filed a Heggstad Petition with the courts for the transfer of my father's real estate into the trust. He appeared in court to present the petition, which was decided successfully in favor of the trust. He also filed for the final transfer of the r...eal estate from the trust to the heirs. Ethan also prepared, to my satisfaction, a living trust for my family. It is clear that his focus was in protecting my best interests during the course of his services.

Trust Litigation Attorney recommendation

I hired Ethan for a complex family trust litigation issue. He took on the case with minimal time to prepare -- less than 3 weeks before the second hearing date. He handled himself in a professional matter and kept his composure even though the opposing counsel completely disrespected him on multipl...e occasions. I would recommend him for future cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
