TESTIMONIALS

If anyone is looking for an honest, personal, and diligent attorney to represent you, I highly recommend this firm. Michelle was incredibly honest; she clearly outlined her fees from the start and asked me a few questions. She then recommended someone who specializes in the certificate of independent review. I appreciate her straightforward approach and guiding me onto the right path. She also made it clear that it’s important to find someone with expertise in this specific field. While Michelle is a lawyer, she feels more like a trustworthy friend who really cares about my best interests. Thank you, Michelle—I definitely recommend her!

Michelle helped our family review an existing trust over zoom to cover our specific needs and the intricacies of having moved to California. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional and most importantly listened to our concerns and provided answers in a way that we could easily understand them. My two prior experiences with lawyers who create trusts is that they have an existing template which they fill in with answers from a questionnaire. This experience was quite the opposite. The entire process was wonderful and she even followed up to provide a summary of actions which we should consider for the future! She is wonderful.

Michelle helped our family with our parents’ trust. Patient, meticulous and knowledgeable, she treats clients with the utmost respect and care. Aside from her legal expertise, she offered us advice to make better decisions on the trust from a tax perspective which will afford us financial advantages and help avoid costly errors. We gained piece of mind after working with Michelle and appreciate her ability to distill mountains of legal jargon into understandable terms. As a physician, I was also appreciative how Michelle was able to assist with the medical aspects of the trust and quickly recognized each family member’s perspective and needs. If you need someone in your corner protecting your and your family’s best interests, no need to look further. Michelle offers all her clients her signature hard work and integrity.

Michelle is a thoughtful, professional and focused attorney. In addition, she is compassionate when dealing with elderly people. We valued her advice and approach very much when she assisted us and my father in updating will and trust documents.

Michelle was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process—from initial query to facilitation to notarizing documents and following up with confirmations. She is kind, patient, and empathetic to what a sensitive and often emotional journey it can be to seek elder law advice. We are deeply grateful to her and her team for taking such great care of us.

We have worked with Michelle for over past 15 years, dealing with initially parental, and later personal estate issues. It goes without saying, that Michelle is very knowledgeable on the ever-changing estate tax laws and regulations. What sets her apart is her skill in being able to explain them in a direct, logical, and patient manner, so we can understand their impact on our estate….to help us make the best decisions for our personal and family needs. It helps that her strong family values, integrity, and financial priorities mesh well with ours. We have since recommended Michelle to many of our friends and family members, who have also been very happy with her professional service – we would recommend her highly, without reservation, to anyone in need of estate planning and management.

My grandmother was having a hard time with her healthcare documents for Kaiser and Michelle and her team helped me resolve the situation in a professional/ timely manner. Going through legal hoops is always such a hassle. It’s nice to meet a lawyer that will help.

I worked with this firm to help me and my family with our estate planning needs, and they were very professional and timely. A problem I have had with other firms is turnaround time, however, that was not an issue with Longevity Law. I will definitely be recommending to my friends and family.

I highly recommend Michelle and her firm for your estate planning needs. She helped me update my living trust that was originally drafted over 15 years ago by a now-retired attorney. During the entire process, she was extremely helpful in suggesting areas that my wife and I should change given that our family has grown (2 children). I would not hesitate to send my friends and family to her (and I have)!
