My family has worked with JJ over the past 10 years spanning a complex probate with a variety of litigation matters to complex estate planning and trust administration. JJ has a unique approach to handling legal matters, and his knowledge of rental real estate ownership and taxation is a tremendous resource.
I have used Jean Claude (JJ) on another issue in the past so I contacted him about the issue I was having. JJ was very thorough in his explanation of the possible courses of action and provided a recommendation. After our initial consultation, I hired him to handle my case. All Trustee litigation cases can be difficult and time consuming. JJ took all the issues into account as well as the finances that our Trust didn't have and worked towards a speedy resolution. The case has been finalized in a beneficial manner for all parties. I highly recommend JJ Mallein. He is very professional and handles issues in a calm manner.
