Thank you for your outstanding work, Sarah!

I had engaged with three other estate planning attorneys before meeting Sarah Rinelli. My experience working with Sarah was the complete opposite of that working with the previous attorneys. Sarah is thoroughly knowledgeable of current laws involving trusts, estates, and inheritance. I fully trust he...r experience, knowledge and advice especially in these areas. She was always patient, caring, and responsive from our first phone conversation, throughout the estate planning, document preparation and document revision processes, as well as through delivery of final documents which reflected the wishes of my family and myself. I am grateful that I found Ms. Rinelli! Another point worth mentioning is that while I live on the Central Coast of California, some 120 miles North of Santa Ana where the Rinelli Law Group is based, the distance did not impede or diminish our ability to effectively work together. I would even say that Sarah's outstanding qualities of professionalism, excellent communication, and ability to create an estate plan that can handle common as well as complex situations in terms of family structure, business interests, and the most relevant what-if scenarios, these qualities far out weighed my initial concerns and desire to be able to work with and meet with an attorney in-person. Also, she is fully up-to-date and skilled using modern electronic communication tools. Think Zoom, email, and FedEx! I highly recommend Sarah and the Rinelli Law Group for anyone in need of knowledgeable, experienced, and caring estate planning professionals. I plan to and look forward to returning to Rinelli Law Group whenever the need arises, such as for updating existing documents, as well as for legal advice involving other, future trust administration needs.

Highly Recommended for Creating a Trust

My husband and I worked with Sarah Rinelli, lead attorney at Rinelli Law Group, to develop our revocable family trust. From our first phone conversation, she demonstrated confidence and a deep knowledge of estate planning. Sarah made the process simple and easy to understand. She was responsive t...o our calls and always answered our questions thoroughly, explained options, and, ultimately, ensured the final documents reflected our wishes and protected our loved ones. We trust Sarah’s knowledge of the law. In fact, since completing our trust, we have reached out to her for perspective on legal issues related to the estates of our loved ones. She has consistently offered sound, actionable counsel. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy trust attorney.
