I was referred to Gold Law, a Professional Law Corporation in 2013 when I was made a Co-Trustee of a friend's trust. My friends Children lived in South America so it was necessary to have someone in California as part of the trust. In my first meeting at The Gold Law Office I was introduced to Marissa Garcia who would be the trust attorney. Marissa collected all the information for the trust and I was immediately at ease with how she handled everything. She knew exactly what to do in the correct sequence even though she was dealing with me here in California and my friend's son in South America; where laws differ and that was no problem for her. Within less than one year that trust was closed.
In 2015 my sister passed away and I was the Successor Trustee for her trust. I knew immediately that I would go to Marissa to be the trust attorney. This trust is much more complex than the first trust she was involved in. Again Marissa knew everything that needed to be done and in what order. Marissa has been very patient with me through all of this and has kept me informed of everything. None of my questions are a problem for her to answer and to explain.
Marissa is a very professional attorney and also a very caring person. She has always been there for me and is never too busy to listen to me on my bad days as I find myself with no immediate family left. I know that we will remain friends even after this trust has come to a close.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
