Peerless attorney that possesses uncompromising integrity, alacrity & skill.

After consulting our trusted family attorney, that could not represent us due to the potential conflict of interest our case presented, we received the names of three recommended attorneys working in Sacramento and El Dorado County, and Bryan was on the top of that short list. Having worked exten...sively with Bryan and his entire team for more than three years now with our complex, multi-faceted trust, I can say that his extensive knowledge, multi-dimensional skills, and natural abilities are truly impressive. First, Bryan represented us in a contest to restore the longstanding trust that was in place, determine the mental capacity of our beloved family member, and legally document the behavior of two individuals that appeared to strongly influence our family member while she suffered from documented diminished capacity. Through Bryan's patience, professionalism, and dogged determination throughout the COVID crisis, he skillfully negotiated an optimal settlement. Since the settlement, i have consulted Bryan several times to assist with legal determinations on real property in and out of state, ways and means to best preserve estate assets, guidance on how to legally move my loved one out-of-state and close to me, so that i can personally oversee the 24/7 care and visit with our family member daily. When the time comes, Bryan and his highly skilled and professional team will be consulted on the administration of our family trust, to ensure all aspects are executed in accordance with our family member's desires. Having served as a military officer for more than 30 years, core values, honoring those that you serve, and integrity, I have long believed, our society's human currency. Bryan and his team are the GOLD STANDARD in this arena. And, while many American's like to joke about attorneys and how much they get paid, I can tell you that Bryan is worth every cent of his services...by the way, i don't joke about attorneys anymore, now that I've met Mr. Bryan Phipps!

Top-Notch Attorney and Staff

Mr. Phipps came highly recommended when my family needed a trust attorney, and he and his staff did not disappoint. From the beginning of my matter Mr. Phipps took upon himself the stress and anxiety of my situation and made it go away. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but he explained things... to me in terms I could understand. I found his bills very reasonable (during the trial process I learned that my bills were a fraction of the other side’s). I am sure the opposing party wished they had hired him. Oh, and his staff is amazing. I highly recommend him and his firm for any trust or probate matter, especially if it is complicated or contested.

Highly Recommended

Bryan Phipps was hired to fulfill the wishes of a Living Will trust that went wrong. Bryan's expertise and insight of my rights and the laws pertaining to my situation were extremely commendable. Bryan is a very smart man and was successful beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Bryan and will... be using his services again.
