Respectfully Responsive

Mr. Collier was very attentive and understanding of our needs and the falsification of our Aunt's Last Will and all the ramifications involved. He worked with the other parties attorney to resolve a complicated situation in the form of a compromise inheritance that was financially pleasing to us.

Review of performance of David J. Collier

At a very tough time in my life (my wife was suffering from Early Onset Alzheimers ) David took me through all the necessary paper work. He was very thorough and professional and treated me with respect and good will. He guided me through the conservatorship of my wife and an order authorizing part...icular transaction transferring assets to petitioner .

Exactly Who Was Needed by my Organization

Mr. Collier was asked to create a document to be used by our emerging Home-Sharing Match-up program here in Yreka, CA. We needed the document to be in line with the rules of the state of California, and to cover the legal areas that would enable people who did not know each other well, if at all, to... have a safe covering for an agreement to share a home. Mr. Collier did an excellent job of the document. He managed to accomplish this in a very timely manner. We anticipate that it will be a real God-send to our clients. In addition, he reviewed our other douments for coordination with the rules of California in this area of real estate law, and gave us a wonderful sense of security in this new enterprise. I would happily recomment Mr. Collier to anyone who needed expertise in his field. His knowledge, his professionalism and his integrity are exemplary.

Living Trust

Dave Collier drafted our Living Trust. We were very pleased with his knowledge, professionalism, and efficiency. Many tasks related to the Trust were handled through emails. This saved us many trips to his office. We would recommend his services to anyone wishing to create a Living Trust.

Will and Trust

David guided us through the process of creating a will and living family trust. It was not only a painless process, but somehow even fun with his organization skills and patience. We would certainly use his services again.
