Ervin Albert DeSmet JR

When my mother passed away, Erv DeSmet worked with my family and me. He was fantastic. He returned calls in a timely way, showed real compassion, and served our family with energy and understanding. Mr. DeSmet is obviously competent and successfully guided us through the difficult journey of tax...es, estate, probate, power of attorney, and how to properly disburse my mother's estate. We could not have had a better attorney for the job. Erv's fees were very reasonable and his common sense approach made the whole process as simple as could possibly be expected. Erv DeSmet was an absolute was a delight to work with. He has my permission to give my contact information to any potential client who wants a first-hand referral.

Mr. DeSmet was recommended by my attorney in Sacramento when I needed help for both of my parents. It was a very difficult, challenging and complicated case. We had numerous hurdles and road blocks but due to the professionalism of Mr. DeSmet, and his thorough knowledge of the law and the very specia...lized parent guadianship laws we were able to take very good care of my parents. The problem was not family related, they all supported me, but the fact that my parents had not prepared any documents in the event something went wrong made it challenging. That caused us to go through the legal system and allowed me to do my job and protect my parents' rights. Mr. DeSmet met every new challenge with a smile and a "We will get through this" attitude that saved the day for us. We have have been on a maintenance program for over 10 years and appear before a judge at least once per year. We are well prepared, the filings are correct and "our" appearance before the judge goes smoothly. I would highly recommend Mr. DeSmet for any current or future dealings when it is time for legal assistance. His code of ethics dictates his approach to the law, and he knows the law well. At the end of the day, if what you are trying to accomplish is right and the right thing, he will prevail. He will represent my wife's family when the time comes for assistance, as all of her sisters know he is the best in that area. Thank you to Mr. DeSmet Esq. for a job well done.
