Review Suzanne Rehmani

Excellent on all levels

Posted by

Suzanne became my parents estate attorney in 2010. When a financial elder abuse situation occurred, Suzanne handled a very confusing, contentious and heartbreaking situation with calm, reason and the utmost professionalism. Her skills with the law and estate planning are unsurpassed. I never had any concerns with her expertise. She is also a very warm and compassionate person who has her client's best interest at the forefront. Very happy with Suzanne.

The best in Orange County

Posted by

You cannot hire a better attorney for your probate and trust matters than Suzanne Rehmani. I know because I have endured a 9 year + horrible legal battle including trial. Ms Rehmani is the best - by a mile. Everything from creating your Family Trust to representing you in the most contentious conservatorship court matter . Do not even think about hiring anyone else!

Conservatorship

Posted by

Suzanne helped me through a very difficult time. Suzanne and the court advised me to get a conservatorship for my elderly mother and throughout the process Suzanne was very knowledgeable, compassionate and provided sound legal advise. Suzanne worked very diligently and I would not hesitate to use her again and will happily refer her to friends and family.

Lifesaver

Posted by

Two years ago my mother died suddenly in California and I needed immediate help to know what to do regarding my parents’ trust and estate. I already knew of Ms. Rehmani because she had worked with my parents to set up a will and trust for them years before. Within 24 hours of my search to locate her, she was in contact with me and ready to help me as trustee. I had to meet with her immediately, because I live out of state from California and had to get things set in motion quickly so I could go back to work. I was very impressed and put at ease by Ms. Rehmani’s willingness to meet with me on such short notice and with great compassion regarding my loss. Suzanne was truly a lifesaver for me. It was obvious that she was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in trust and estate matters, an unfamiliar area for me. From that initial meeting until now, I have often looked back to realize that I don’t know what would have happened if Ms. Rehmani hadn’t been available in my time of need. Suzanne listened to my concerns, advised me of what needed to be done, and became my trusted adviser throughout the process of administering and facilitating everything needed with the trust and estate, including the sale of real estate and some unexpected issues. Suzanne and Tiffany were responsive to my situation, extremely experienced in legal matters, always professional, and dedicated to helping me navigate my duties as trustee with integrity and honesty. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Ms. Rehmani.

Gets Results Quickly

Posted by

I have worked with Ms. Rehmani for nearly 2 years. During this time she expertly negotiated the successful sale of my business. My business was a franchise with multiple locations and she diplomatically managed the transaction with two landlords, the Franchisor, the Buyers and my business partner. This was an extremely complex set of negotiations. Ms. Rehmani understood the various dynamics in dealing with each entity and completed each facet of her dealings in a timely and professional manner. She exceeded my expectations every step of the way. She knows the law and uses that expertise to make progress on every front. Ms. Rehmani is professional, courteous, compassionate and trustworthy. She is responsive and always kept me apprised of the progress. During my 25+ years professional career I have dealt with many lawyers. Ms. Rehmani is the best.

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful

Posted by

Ms. Rehmani is an excellent attorney. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She was very responsive and did great quality work for me in a timely manner. She always responded and answered any questions or concerns I had. I would most definitely work with her for any of my future legal needs and refer her to any of my family or friends.

We strongly recommend Suzann and are totally impressed and satisfied with her results

Posted by

We had the pleasure of working with Suzanne after terminating the sevices of our first Attorney who was less than competent and honest. Suzanne finalized a very complicated and acrimonious case evolving real estate, bank accounts, 401K's, annuities CD’s,pensions; with a strong willed and stubborn opposition. Suzanne is hard working, very professional, easy to work with, considers and values our impute. Sometimes working after hours and weekends. We strongly recommend Suzanne and we are totally impressed and satisfied with her results

Firm not what represented on website

Posted by

Contacted to book consultation after plan referral. Website describes areas of elder law, however, when trying to make appt for consultation the phone receptionist conducts a phone interview to determine if they want the case even though website clearly states this as an practiced area. Receptionist has to put the call on hold and get more questions from attorney, over and over. Very unprofessional and big waste of time. It would have been better if an attorney picked up the phone and consulted instead. I did not use them based on playing third party interviews.

Suzanne Rehmani's response: Hello, I would like to apologize for your negative experience with my front office. I was unaware of this call and I would like to learn more about your specific situation and make things right. If you wouldn’t mind giving me a call at (949) 202-1424 at your earliest convenience, it would be greatly appreciated. Please ask to speak with Suzanne. In the meantime, we will be retraining our staff on our services in order to reduce hold and wait times. I look forward to speaking with you and working towards making this right. Sincerely, Suzanne Rehmani
