Setting up a family trust can be daunting at best for most. The team at Meinzer Law, with Andrew skillfully guided me through the process and now a few years later helped my make necessary amendments to the original trust documents. Now I can rest easily knowing that my family is well protected.

Response from owner

It was fantastic, Laurie, that you came back to us recently to help you again with your trust and estate plan documents! We always enjoy working with you, and we are grateful that you have chosen us to protect your family through your trust and estate plan documents. Thank you for the excellent review. It was great working with you again Laurie! Andrew Meinzer.

Andrew Meinzer handled the Geirman trust estate for me, and i couldn't have asked for a better experience during a difficult time. trust and estate work can be stressful, but Andrew and his whole staff was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain things in plain language. Communication was excellent, and I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Andrew Meinzer and his team to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate attorney for estate trust matters! Sincerely, James G.

Response from owner

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew Meinzer. We had a somewhat complex situation and he was able to understand it and create an estate plan that met our needs. His advice is practical and not pushy. He is able to explain the legal aspects of estate planning without using legal jargon.

Response from owner

Pete, thank you for your excellent review regarding your estate planning! I enjoyed helping you two. I’m happy that we are achieving our goal of communicating with our clients clearly. We are grateful that you both gave us the opportunity to help you with your estate plan. Andrew Meinzer.

Andrew and his staff are always there when needed. Very reliable & dependable. I called upon them with a request on short notice that was urgent in nature and they came through for me in a pinch. Thank you and I give my highest recommendation!

Response from owner

The Meinzer Law Firm helped our family after the passing of our parents. From the very first meeting, they clearly explained what needed to be done and guided us through each step. They were always quick to return calls or respond to emails, and they provided regular invoices so we were always aware of costs. Their professionalism and care made a difficult time easier to navigate. I would highly recommend their services.

Response from owner

Shane, thank you very much for sharing your excellent experience with our firm! After your parents passed away we needed to handle some details regarding their documents. We were happy to do that and get things on track for you. It was great working with you! Andrew Meinzer.

My sister and I enlisted the Meinzer Law Firm when our father passed and we needed a lawyer to execute his trust. It was a long process but they were right there with us the whole time. We have nothing but praise for our Attorney, Eric Peck, and each and every one of the legal staff who helped us along the way. They are all professional, knowledgeable, patient, & genuinely a pleasure to work with. We were kept updated as they guided us through the seemingly endless paperwork. We always got quick responses to any questions which is very comforting. We highly recommend using Meinzer Law Firm for any legal needs.

Response from owner

Hal, thank you for your excellent review of our helping you with carrying out the terms of your father's trust! We are grateful for the opportunity to help you carry out your father's wishes after his death while complying with the laws pertaining to administering a trust. We enjoyed working with you!

My experience with the Meinzer firm began nearly two years ago on the day after my Dad died, leaving me a convoluted trust document, property, and accounts in California. I was the successor trustee, but I live in Virginia and needed a lot of long-distance support. When I first contacted the Meinzer firm, I was put into direct contact with owner and Principal Attorney, Andrew Meinzer. The free initial phone consultation ran longer than originally offered and Andrew provided rather specific and patiently explained useful information that enabled me to do certain activities on my own, prioritize actions, use recommended strategies for dealing with institutions that held Dad’s accounts as well as fully grasp the complexity of the tasks that lay ahead and determine that I would be better off with professional legal assistance--- all without him telling me that I needed to hire his firm. Over the following couple of years, I had detailed and lengthy email exchanges with the legal and para-legal staff at the Meinzer firm. These all featured timely responses and usually gave me options of activities they would perform entirely for me, or which I could take on in order to reduce legal expenses. The Meinzer team kept an eye on the progress of the administration of the trust and their advice was very conservative regarding the risks of certain actions or approaches. They always let me know that the final decisions on matters had to be mine and what the worst-case outcomes of not following their advice could be. They once caught a subtle but potentially significantly impactful error I had made and immediately informed me so that I could quickly correct communications I had sent to beneficiaries. While the final amount that I paid the Meinzer Firm was well above the initial estimate of the cost that was forecast in the initial consult, I never was charged for anything that raised a question in my mind about the fairness of the billing. The office staff was consistently pleasant, competent, and prompt. Overall--- superb help with tricky matters.

Response from owner

We enjoyed helping you with carrying out your father’s wishes as expressed through his trust.<br><br>Yes, we had a lot of detailed dialogue with you along the way. This case included some important decisions for you to make, and we were happy to provide you with detailed advice.<br><br>It’s good that you hired us. Someone carrying out the terms of a trust should have an attorney experienced with trust administration. There are trust legal requirements that most lay people don’t know.<br><br>Even though this case turned out to have some complexities, the process still was much better than a probate decedent’s estate court proceeding. It’s good that your dad had the foresight to create the trust.<br><br>We also handle probate decedent’s estate court proceedings for clients. We prefer, however, to minimize the client effort and our fees by avoiding probate decedent’s estate court proceedings whenever possible. Your dad helped us with that by having the trust.<br><br>Thank you for opportunity to help you. Andrew Meinzer.

My wife and I recently found ourselves needing to restate our existing trust. On the recommendation of a trusted friend, we contacted Andrew's office and discussed our needs for this update. It was clear from the very beginning that Andrew and his entire staff are experienced, dedicated, thorough, and professional people. As my wife and I went through the process of updating and restating our trust, we were both amazed at the thoroughness, detail, and humanity of the entire process. Our restated trust is now so thorough, detailed, and clear that we cannot imagine it being done any better. If you want someone who will do an incredible and thorough job on your trust while treating you with respect, and explaining things in a most understandable way, we highly recommend that you consider Andrew Meinzer and his team of professionals. Thank you Andrew, we could not be any happier with our restated trust, and our minds are now at ease knowing that this challenging task has been so well taken care of! Dennis and Denise

Response from owner

Dennis and Denise,<br><br>We enjoyed working with you and drafting your updated trust and estate plan documents. We feel very gratified knowing that we provided you with peace of mind.<br><br>The updated trust and estate plan documents provide for things to go smoothly and as you desire when you die or if you become unable to care for yourselves.<br><br>I am very pleased that our team provided you with such great care. Our goal is to provide the best possible service, attending to every detail, ensuring that you understand everything clearly, and being sensitive to your needs and desires.<br><br>You were great clients. You gave us all of the information that we needed to help you, and you gave it to us quickly. As a result, we were able to finalize your updated trust and estate plan documents and have you sign them in a short amount of time.<br><br>We are grateful for the opportunity to help both of you. Also thank you for the wonderful review.<br><br>Andrew Meinzer.

Meinzer Law firm did an excellent job helping me execute my family trust.

Response from owner

Thank you, Jonathon, for the excellent review! It’s always rewarding when we guide a trustee through to the end of administering (or carrying out) the requirements of a trust.<br><br>You are fortunate that a trust was in place in this case. Without a trust, a court probate proceeding or conservatorship proceeding may be necessary when someone dies or becomes unable to care for himself or herself anymore. We help people with probates and conservatorships too. Still we prefer to handle these things out of court to minimize effort and fees for our clients.<br><br>We are grateful for the opportunity to help you. We enjoyed working with you!<br><br>Andrew Meinzer

Outstanding advice and assistance with establishing a conservatorship. Highly recommend!

Response from owner

Thank you for the outstanding review Andy! We love helping people help others. We have enjoyed working with you to create a conservatorship to get you in control of your relative who needs your help.<br>Other ways we help people get in control of another in need are through a trust, power of attorney, and/or advance health care directive. Those simply were not an option in this case. Again, thank you, and we are grateful that you gave us the chance to help you!<br>Andrew Meinzer.

Tis is a great law law firm, and have great bedside manner, and the customer service agents , are very kind to you when you ask a question. They put your mind a ease, and are very helpful. great to do business with.

Response from owner

Giving kindness and respect and explaining things in easy-to-understand terms set us apart from other law firms. Also we love being helpful and putting our clients at ease. That applies in all we do, from trusts, wills, and powers of attorney, to conservatorship court proceedings, probate decedent's estate court proceedings, and government benefits such as Medi-Cal and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Thank you for the excellent review, Leonard!

I had a tough case and Meinzer Law Firm took care of it. I'm so happy I went with them.

Response from owner

Genia, it was our great pleasure to help you with making sure that the trustee in charge of your uncle’s trust properly carried out the terms of that trust. Cases like this involving opposing parties can be difficult. We enjoy taking on this type of case to make things easier on our clients while getting good results for our clients. We are grateful for the opportunity that you gave us to help you! Andrew Meinzer.

Remi,<br>I’m sorry for what we did or didn’t do that made you feel that way. I was mortified to see your review.<br>Here at Meinzer Law Firm, P.C., we endeavor to provide the highest level of service and quality to our clients, and to others we interact with. <br>We have no recollection of interacting with you, and we see no records indicating that we did. So I’m not sure what we did or didn’t do that was unhelpful.<br>I would love to have the opportunity to learn that from you. That would enable me to further improve how we do things here.<br>Please reach out to me at ameinzer@meinzerlawoffice.com or (310) 375-3350 with any further concerns or suggestions that you want to share.<br>Thank you,<br>Andrew Meinzer

We used Meinzer for revision of our 27 year old trust, an involved and complex undertaking. Fortunately, the firm's skeletal proforma agreement provided a solid backbone and great guide for the process, while Eric the lawyer took us through a thorough and understandable paragraph by paragraph review as we selected numerous optional provisions. Heavily favoring simplicity, we defaulted to omission of a number of provisions until Eric explained to us in clear and simple English the situations in which those provisions would be valuable. Disclosure: Andrew Meinzer is a neighbor and friend, for which we are glad and grateful.

Response from owner

Dan, thank you for the excellent review! It was a pleasure working with both of you to update your trust and estate plan documents. Now they satisfy your goals.<br>Effectively and accurately satisfying our clients’ goals is our main objective.<br>We communicate with our clients clearly and effectively in regular language rather than “legalese”. We also provide a lot of personal attention to our clients.<br>We believe that these are some of the things that set us apart from other law firms. I am pleased that Eric did so well carrying out these things. We are fortunate to have him on our team, along with all of our other team members who worked behind the scenes helping you.<br>Now you have an updated trust and updated estate plan documents. I expect all will go smoothly when you need those documents at your deaths or if either of you become unable to manage your affairs personally in the future.<br>That should avoid court proceedings such as probate decedent’s estate and conservatorship. Although we also help clients with those court proceedings, we prefer to help clients avoid them.<br>Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to help both of you. I am glad to have you as both a neighbor and a friend. See you around! <br>Andrew Meinzer.

I initially spoke to Andrew Meinzer who was very understanding and informative. I ended working mainly with attorney Eric Peck. He was helpful, knowledgeable,and attentive. He responded to my correspondence in a timely matter, and answered all my questions. It felt so good to have someone I had confidence in stand up for me and help resolve my issue. I also had interactions with Molly Friel and Allyson Jaynes who were very kind, helpful, and efficient. I’m so grateful for and highly recommend Meinzer law firm!
