Clark Allison LLP

My wife and I worked with Gabby to set up a family trust and couldn’t be happier with the experience. She stayed on top of every detail, kept the process simple, and communicated clearly the entire time. Highly recommend.

Tried calling but the number is disconnected. I was hoping to speak to someone for estate planning. Maybe someone will see this and reach out with a new phone number

I worked with one of the attorneys in Clark Allison office (Gabi) on estate planning. I have legal insurance through work so I was told I would only have to pay pass through fees (the cost of the notary and the cost of the deed), she said it would be $495. I agreed to the terms and after doing so I realized they probably inflated the fees to take advantage of me. I asked for the breakdown of the $495 and they said $300 for deed filing fees and $195 for notary. However, the deed filing fee in San Diego county is $23 and the notary is $150. I asked for the breakdown of $300 and $195 and I was never provided with it. Other than the overcharging problem, the work was okay with the exception that responses to emails were delayed and that the documents were not prepared in the time they were supposed to be (I asked Gabi for the timeline and she said I would have them but the weekend, but she sent them one week late). I was going on a overseas trip so I told her that I would need to push back the appointment with the attorney since I would not have time to read them and she tried to push me to keep my appointment, which I refused. Finally, the partner emailed me to complain I had not paid the bill when they had not sent me the invoice. So I imagine they have some mismanagement issues going on. Overall, I would avoid if possible as I believe they are disguising their fees as pass through fees (otherwise I do not understand why they will not provide the breakdown)

I am extremely pleased with this law firm. The price was very fair, and I liked my lawyer a lot. Writing an estate plan isn't an easy part of life, but end-to-end this firm did a perfect job of guiding me through the process. I was thrilled that I could handle everything without a single in-person office appointment, including final notarized signatures. I really couldn't have imagined a better experience!

My wife and I used Nora at this firm to complete our family's Living Trust. Nora was very knowledgable, explained things simply in terms we could understand, completed our documents super fast, and took extra time to make sure that we did everything properly on our end! Creating a Living Trust was so much easier than we thought it was going to be. Thanks for a great experience! I will definitely be recommending Nora to other families looking to create a Living Trust!
