I do not recommend this firm
My experience with this firm as a long-term, well-paying client was extremely regrettable. They have a lot of good reviews for their estate planning department which is deceiving if one needs help with a litigation case. They claim to be specialists but ultimately I had no choice but to seek new ...
Hi Shannon, We are never happy to have clients leave unhappy, but always say that if trust is lost by either party, it's best to part ways. When clients get advised by others that have conflicting interests, situations such as these are inevitable. We are very careful in our cost/benefit analysis in what should be done in a case to achieve the best possible result for the cost paid. We wish you the very best with your new firm and hope their approach and cost/benefit analysis proves successful.

The legal assistant did the work
I had a nice half hour conversation with Craig Harris. Well dressed and a magnificent office. He got me started thinking about my trust but I never had contact with him again to follow up. On the day of signing I insisted and saw him just long enough for him to assure me that the legal assistant wa...
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're happy to hear you enjoyed visiting our office and working with Craig. We assure you that you are indeed in good hands! Our drafting process includes an attorney/paralegal collaboration, overseen by the attorney, which allows us to keep our prices extremely competitive. For comparison, some of our competitors charge $3,000-5,000 or more for the same documents. If there is anything we could have improved about your experience, please contact our office. We welcome your feedback!

Exceptional firm!
I am a current client and this firm is the best of the best in Sacramento. They are currently helping to protect my grandmother who has been victimized by a live-in caregiver, who changed the locks on her house, and manipulated her to sign legal documents. Daniel's paralegal Miranda is exceptionall...
Thank you, Wes! We're glad we could help your grandmother. We appreciate your recommendation - it means a lot!

Write-up trust documents
Craig Harris and Andrew Sanchez at Dan Hunt's office setup my trust documents. They were very diligent and provided excellent service. I will definitely recommend this firm to my family & friends.
Thank you for your review, Jasmine! We're glad you felt that you received excellent service from our firm. Your recommendation means a lot!
"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."
