Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

Both my husband and I were very pleased with Anthony. He up-dated our Living Trust and added very important items to it. Thank You Anthony.

Excellent and great communication

Our family lawyer had passed away and we were seeking an attorney who would be willing to pick up the work on our mom's estate without having to redo the parts completed. Anthony was efficient,clear communicator and a pleasure to work with in a stressful situation. Excellent work by a compassionate ...professional who understands how legal situations can be stressful for family.

estate planning

Mr. Celaya went above and beyond in helping me plan my will. He was very relaxed and patient in responding to all my questions. He also was terrific in following up with me, assuring me he would be there for future changes that might be needed. I was very pleased with his professionalism and knowled...ge. Everything was completed within days in a clear concise format. I can't say enough about how pleased I was with my experience of finally having a will done!

my wife's mother's living trust

Anthony did my wife's mother's trust about 1 1/2 years ago. He is very knowledgeable. We went through a hard time that lasted almost a year from my wife's nephew who continually contested the trust and actions my wife and i did to resole it. It was a long drawn out period of negative contacts by my w...ife's nephew's lawyers, but Anthony endured until it was resolved recently

Trustworthy & Intelligent Young Man

I hired Mr. Celaya to do an Estate Planning Portfolio for myself. This included my Will, Power of Attorney, Health Cared Directive, Memorial Instructions and division of small personal items. Mr. Celaya was very thorough, coming up with ideas I myself hadn't thought of. I trusted Anthony completel...y with all personal information. His kindness and patience is above reproach. Highly recommend his expertise.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
