Cheryl Walsh knows the law!

Cheryl Walsh is a highly intelligent lawyer with extensive knowledge of the law. She represented our family in the resolution of a dispute involving our family trust and our financial investment company. It took only one letter from her stating the California laws working in our interest to resolve... the issues for us. She was our legal representative, our attorney. She knew the laws and she helped out with the legal matters.

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!!

Help with a difficult situation

Cheryl and her staff were courteous and professional and helped me with a difficult situation of invoking a trust where I was listed as the trustee. I had no idea how to even get started and they walked me through the steps and expediated the process due to the circumstances.

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.
