Asset Protection Center

I have been a client of this firm for the past year. Their knowledge is vast and extensive. I truly appreciate and respect their professionalism. I highly recommend them.

Shilpa is dedicated to her craft and she can be a great asset to your assets.

I am really grateful for Shilpa Bhatt's help with my client. I appreciate the time that Shilpa took to explain the facets of the type of trust that my client had. I was most impressed by the depth of Shilpa's knowledge and client-centric approach.

Shadi and her staff helped me immensely in dealing with my late brother’s estate over a period of almost a year and a half. Every inquiry on my behalf was handled promptly, efficiently, and courteously. In particular, they prevailed on one brokerage firm that had persistently declined my requests for information to resolve what appeared for a year to be an impasse. I am grateful to them all and would recommend their services to anyone in need of guidance in trust matters.

Shadi Shaffer was recommended by a friend of mine who is a partner in a large Irvine law firm, so my expectations were high. Shadi far exceeded above and way beyond those expectations! She's extremely bright, experienced, and very personable. Her office and staff are professional and helpful as well. Working with Shadi feels like you're working with a friend who genuinely cares for you and looks out for your best interest. Her experience and knowledge are amazing as well! I've already referred several friends; they all feel the same way!

Everyone was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and made our family's goals possible. Thank you doesn't seem like a strong enough word - this team was amazing and we are grateful for them.

Asset Protection & Elder Law Center are excellent !! They are reasonable in price and efficient. They excelled in the administration of our Family Trust. They can be counted on when Family Trust issues become an issue.

I wanted to take a moment to express how much of a pleasure it has been working with Shadi and the APEL Team on our family's estate planning. Shadi has truly gone above and beyond in assisting both my husband and me, as well as all three of our sons, with their estate planning needs. We are so grateful for your dedication and expertise throughout this process. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our affairs, and those of our children, are in such capable hands. We are incredibly happy to now consider you our family attorney and will not hesitate to highly recommend your services to our friends and family.

Asset Protection & Elder Law Center has far exceeded our expectations. Our first meeting with Shadi Shaffer was professional, warm and informative. It was clear that she had an abundance of experience and was more than capable of helping us with our estate planning. More importantly, we were confident that her level of experience and compassion as trust attorney would provide us and our family to navigate any needs we might have going forwar. Equally her staff was professional and responsive to any and all communication. We would highly recommend. Shadi to any family in need of Estate and Trust Planning. She is truly passionate about what she does!!

I worked with Shadi and Taline on a very complicated probate case regarding my father who unfortunately passed away without a will or trust and they were BEYOND helpful. The case took ~2 years to resolve in-full and I cannot imagine navigating it without the help of the entire team at APC. They were excellent communicators, knowledgeable about niche parts of probate law, and worked tirelessly to get things resolved for me and my siblings. I cannot recommend them more highly!!

I could not recommend this law firm more!!! Shadi Shaffer is incredible! The way she works her magic she could possibly be a magician too. Her entire staff from Taline to Carolina are all amazing! They helped my family and I during a difficult time of loss, come up with a plan and navigate difficult decisions and we could not be more grateful. We will be clients for life! Thank you!

I had an outstanding experience working with the Asset Protection Center Law Firm and their entire team. They recently helped me set up my family trust and from start to finish, I was beyond impressed with their professionalism, compassion, and deep expertise. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth and manageable, guiding me through every step with patience and clarity. This is truly a dream team I’m so grateful for their support and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of estate planning!

Shadi updated my trust and will documents for me. She was very good at explaining everything in "lay" terms. She was also compassionate and sensitive, as this process was emotional for me: it entailed removing my late husband's name from everything. I'm so grateful for all she did for me!

Shadi was amazing - gently and kindly walked me through what would otherwise have been a complicated and very personal process, especially as someone who was new to the country. Couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Shadi has been my Revocable Living Trust lawyer for just about 10 years now. It was a breeze to set up my trust initially and she and her team have continued to add value by answering my occasional estate questions as they arise. I have recommended Asset Protection to my friends and family and will continue to do so. It is an absolute pleasure doing business with them and I'm glad to be their client!

After reaching out to several asset protection centers, I came across this firm. From my first conversation with Patrick, I knew this would be the right fit for my situation. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that I could understand, which was a complete contrast to some of the other law firms I spoke to beforehand. When searching for a firm, these were the things that were most important to me: Can they clearly explain the process and reasoning behind their actions? Can they explain things in a way that a "normal person" can understand? How patient are they with answering my endless questions? How responsive are they? Are they able to break down what to expect and provide different scenarios and outcomes? This firm was able to do all of the above, and more. On top of that, their staff was incredibly friendly, approachable, and introduced themselves, which made the whole experience even more positive. Overall, choosing a firm can be difficult, but selecting this asset protection center truly eased my mind and gave me the security I needed.

Attorney Shadi Shaffer is an incredible trust attorney. Her entire office staff are amazingly talented and professional. They all take the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and fully discuss options and provide recommendations based on their extensive experience. Best trust attorneys ever!
