Milda's guidance with our estate planning was excellent! We started with an informative discussion in plain english; went over pros and cons of decisions to be made and she addressed our questions and concerns with ease. The timeline from start to finish was clear and communication was great throughout the entire process. We are very pleased to have found Milda to work with us on our estate planning and have recommended her to others.

We met with Milda Goeriz to update our trust. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She completed the revisions very quickly and kept in constant communications with us via secure email. We met at both of her offices, Carmel Valley and Murphy Canyon. Both were very comfortable and were adherent to good practices for COVID 19 prevention.
We received great advice and I liked having all of our paperwork loaded onto a thumb drive.

Excellent work in preparing a complex multi country trust/will combination. Excellent response time. Excellent use of state of the art communication tools (multi country video conferencing) and procedures in actual Covid-19 environment.

Initially, we were impressed with Milda's highly-rated reviews. Her office is part of the MetLife Legal network that is offered through our employer benefits, which made it more affordable for us. She made the whole process easy and was very thorough. Milda is very professional. We will definitely refer friends to her for Trusts, Wills, Advance Directive, and complete Estate Planning needs.

Milda was very helpful, patient, professional and answered all of our questions. She was very responsive and met deadlines for creating documents. After a horrible experience with another attorney, I definitely recommend working with her! She did a wonderful job preparing our estate plan.

We loved working with Milda. She is very warm and welcoming which makes us feel very comfortable working with her on our trust. She provided real life scenarios based on her experiences and provides options, pro and cons that helped us make good decisions. Milda exceeded my expectations and gave me sound piece of mind. It's not easy planning for the worst but hoping for the best.
Joel Herold
We reached out to Milda for her help with estate planning. She was very professional and very responsive throughout the entire process. At our final meeting she provided a hard copy of the final documents, had it organized with tabs within a fancy binder, and also provided a digital copy. We were very pleased. Thank you!
