Cheryl Walsh Is the Best!

I was referred to Ms. Walsh by Fay Blix, Esq. as someone who could take care of the strange circumstances surrounding the sale of my co-op apt in a senior community. My co-signer and I are seniors. When my co-signer died unexpectedly during the sale, we were not able to locate papers he had written ...assigning to me all the proceeds of the sale since his interest in the co-op involved no money. He lived 400mi. away and the missing paperwork meant his “share” went to the probate of his estate to eventually be paid to me. I needed a lot of expert help to deal with all the complications which arose. The widow involved had no problem with assigning me the money, but the Calif. Probate had to be accomplished first. Ms Walsh was well-qualified to work with the widow’s atty to sort through the long process. She pro-rated all of our many, many emails and I was very pleased with her thorough knowledge and expertise with all aspects of this unusual case. It took over two years to finally get to the very successful conclusion and I am forever in her debt. I highly recommend her services! Since I had moved out-of-state, this all was handled by phone calls and emails. In fact, I have never met her, but she is a treasure!!

Outstanding and professional

Cheryl is an outstanding attorney. After meeting with her for the first time, we knew we had the right attorney to take our case. After my mother passed, we discovered that her husband had filed a Quit Claim and moved the home into his name and into his trust. When he passed a month later, he pass...ed the home to his brother. I was contacted by his attorney who wanted to get the house sold ASAP. We were able to delay the process until we found Cheryl who started the communication with the other attorney. Cheryl was amazing. She took control of the situation and handled the other attorney with strength. Cheryl knew the law and interpreted the trust according to the letter of the law. In the end, we won the case and the home is to be put back in the original trust. Cheryl and her staff, Taylor, Robin and Maggie are just outstanding. I can’t say enough about them. If the need arises, I would not hesitate to use Cheryl again and I would certainly recommend her to anyone that is looking for and exceptional estate attorney.

Cheryl and her team helped me with my estate and conservatorship

Cheryl and her team were great to work with, helping to guide me through the whole process of a conservatorship for my incapacitated wife, and we ultimately closed and resolved the conservatorship and probate, following her passing.

Excellent Legal Guru

We were referred to Cheryl Walsh and the Walsh Law Firm due to a Trust/Estate lawsuit. I am thankful and grateful we hired her firm to represent us. It was long and complicated, but in that situation, you only want the best and most experienced. Cheryl Walsh and the Walsh Law Firm are the best. Don't... waste your time with anyone else.

Walsh Senior Law is Excellent

In late 2013 I was forced to go to Court to get conservatorship of my 71yo aunt (by then a widow; she never had children) who had advanced Alzheimer’s disease. After a somewhat contentious battle, my aunt consented to a voluntary conservatorship and chose me to be her Conservartor. Cheryl quickly hel...ped to assemble a team which included a respected gerontologist nurse and we were able to move my aunt into a safe and comfortable Assisted Living facility in San Diego where she lived until she passed away in 2019. Due to her illness and cognitive decline the Court would not allow us to make a Will or Trust for my aunt so we went through the arduous process of Probate. Cheryl and her associate Taylor Hill expertly maneuvered the Court system to close the conservatorship and guided me through the probate process. When COVID19 shut down the Courts, Cheryl worked with me to continue the probate process and keep everything on track. Once the Court reopened she worked her magic, recommended using a retired judge to bypass the backlogged Court, and probate was successfully concluded within weeks. I sincerely recommend Cheryl Walsh Senior Law to anyone dealing with aged loved ones. Through personal tragedy and global pandemic, Cheryl Walsh consistently demonstrated an expert knowledge of senior law and the Court system. She never failed to deliver when called upon and I could not have managed the process without her and her amazing staff. Cheryl, Taylor and Robin are friendly, responsive, and professional. They are wonderful to work with.
