Thomas David Gray

I was the Successor Trustee of an estate and employed Tom Gray to take care of several legal formalities. He was very knowledgeable and didn't waste time in taking care of business. He answered all my quesitons, kept me informed and his rate was very reasonable. What more could I ask? I recommend thi...s attorney for California Estate Planning, Will, Trust & Probate matters.

Thomas David Gray took over four years to contact me regarding the details of my parent's estate after his death. The accounting was never completed in a timely manner. When I requested a copy of a family member's Last Will and Testament repeatedly, it was never produced or mailed to me. To this d...ay Thomas David Gray admits that neither he nor any member of his staff can locate the very important document that I need and claim that it must have been "filed in the wrong place". Tom Gray consistently provides income tax information to me about a probate matter AFTER THE IRS DEADLINE OF APRIL 15TH. TOM GRAY IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. TOM GRAY IS NOT RESPONSIVE - IT OFTEN TAKES MONTHS TO GET A REPLY TO A LETTER. TOM GRAY IS NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE STATUTES OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA . . IF HE WERE HE WOULD NOT CONDUCT HIS LAW PRACTICE IN THE MANNER THAT HE DOES. HIS FILE CLERK, APPARENTLY, IS HIS 80+ YEAR OLD MOTHER. SHE MAY BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR FILING A FAMILY MEMBER'S "LAST WELL AND TESTAMENT AND OTHER IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENTS" THAT I REQUESTED FROM TOM GRAY. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND TOM GRAY, J.D. TO ANY PERSON.

Tom Gray was retained by me to draft and administer the estate of my father. His prices for services provided were exorbitant and he was consistently late in producing important information to me following the death of my father. When I wrote letters to him at his office, it would often take hi...m not just weeks to reply to my inquiries but months and sometimes years to get a response. His office staff is curt and often rude when I attempt to phone Tom Gray. The documents that I requested from Tom Gray so that I could have income tax returns completed by my Certified Public Accountant did not get delivered to me until just before April 15th and, sometimes, after the due date for their submission to the IRS. Tom Gray's legal fees are exorbitant for the poor service that he provided to me as a client. I would definitely not recommend that anyone retain Thomas Gray as his/her attorney.

Mr. Gray helped me with the administration of my father's Trust. He is very knowledgable and his staff was professional and caring during I timed I needed them to be the most. He has been doing estate planning and estate administration for over 25 years, he really knows and understands what he is d...oing.
