Highly Recommend

Karn was great to work with and very professional. He answered all of our questions and my wife and I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience

Karn was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with him in the past. He took the time to walk me through the estate planning process, addressed my many questions, and at no point made me feel pressured to engage his services. I can confidently say this was the best experience I've had working ...with a lawyer!

Thapar Law for Excellent Estate Planning

"Karn Thapar is the most conscientious, professionally skilled and client focused attorney we have ever worked with. He showed genuine dedication in creating our three complex trusts involving a myriad of considerations in meeting everyone’s significant needs. We are pleased to join his multiple fiv...e star reviews. We were not charged for his initial consultation and his fees were fixed and based on the assumed complexities of the revocable living trusts he was to prepare for us. Not charging by the hour and knowing what our fees would be removed uncertainty and hence stress from this very important process. We highly recommend Thapar Law for estate planning services and look forward to working with Karn over the long term.”

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
