Very pleased. Great service!
My husband and I recently had our wills and trust updated from their original 2009 format and we are so thankful we did! Some of the laws, since then, have been changed and there are new clauses that we did not know even existed. Everything went smoothly and we could not be more pleased. They were p...

Trust update
My wife and I recently had our trust updated from its original 1991 format. Everything went quite smoothly and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. We are also content knowing our estate will be in good hands when we pass.

Thank you for giving me peace of mind!
Daniel was very helpful in reviewing my living trust. He and his staff were friendly and answered all of my questions promptly. He made some very good suggestions that will protect my family should anything happen to me. He amended my trust and made it current with new laws I didn't even know existed...

Daniel A. Hunt ...Law Office Review
We put off doing our family trust way longer than we should have. I thought it would be a good idea to share my recent experience. The next step was to select and interview at least 4 Estate Planning, Trust and Probate law offices and choose a knowledgeable attorney I felt was qualified to assist...

Estate Planning
We had talked about having our Living Trust done for about five years. We heard from a friend of ours about Daniel Hunt and how helpful he was in guiding you throughy the Estate Planning process. When we met with him we noticed the ease in which he talked to us about trusts and how to approach each...
"I have worked with Daniel for several years and he is a great litigator with expert knowledge of the CA probate code. He is very devoted to his clients and always has their best interests in mind. I would recommend him to anyone who needs assistance with a litigated probate matter."
"I have worked with Daniel for nearly 5 years now. He has an expert knowledge of the probate code. Since most litigators do so generally or in civil court, this expert knowledge sets him above many of his peers. Daniel has a knack for finding ways to get a client what they are after without giving away what they already have. Daniel is conscient of his client's needs and pursues those needs in the most cost effective way possible."
"I have known Dan for many years and have personally seen his work. I have found it to be quality work. He also knows the area of law of which he practices. If I ever have a question about Estate Planning, Probate or Wills he or a staff is quick to get back to me. There are a number of good lawyers that I know that handle Estate Planning and Dan is one of them."
"While I've never personally worked with (or against) Mr. Hunt, he has a strong reputation in the Sacramento legal community as an aggressive and competent litigator. I've referred complex matters to his office before, and I'm happy to endorse Mr. Hunt for any matters related to the Probate code."
"Dan is honest, knowledgeable, and takes the time to listen and understand your needs. He is also an effective advocate in court when things don't go as planned. I recommend Dan to all my close friends and associates who need estate planning guidance."
