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...rofessional, friendly, and understanding of our particular situation with a special needs child. They answered all of our questions and gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend the Law Office of Daniel Hunt and his staff.

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... my wife and I. I didn't tell any of the offices the nature of my mission other than the fact I needed a trust done to protect my home, my belongings and my hard earned assets of value. Furthermore, I did not disclose my 30 plus year of experience in law and criminology. My family today works in many areas of the justice system here in California. Upon completion of my analysis, it became very apparent that The Law Offices Of Daniel A. Hunt was the place to go. Highly professional, well versed in the laws and best practices to generate a Trust, a staff that was always there to answer questions over the phone, made you feel comfortable and welcome and listened. From being greeted by the receptionist, to working with the paralegal folks and the final meeting and trust review with attorney Daniel Hunt, the entire process from start to completion went smoothly and professionally. My wife and I were made to feel welcomed and comfortable along the way. Always a friendly smile in the office. I am extremely satisfied with the services rendered, the follow-ups, the cost and the fact that the door is always open should any issue or question come up. This group gets my Five-Star rating anytime! Recommendations and referrals directly from myself have went out to numerous financial institutions urging them to highly consider Mr. Hunt and staff as the go to law office of choice. Just a side note... I even chose Mr. Hunt's office over our own family law office which has practiced the same type of estate planning, trust and probate law for the past 50 plus years locally in Placer County. Signed....a satisfied customer. Jeff Roseville, CA

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... section of the trust. He made us feel very comfortable talking about our wishes and concerns that we wanted to include in our trust. We highly recommend Daniel Hunt for any of your Estate Planning needs.

Litigation lawyer | May 05

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
