Our family Trust and Wills were 20 years old and we were looking for a good elder lawyer & an estate accountant. We feel lucky to have found him. He advised, revised, amended, updated, rewrote, handled my aging parents endless questions patiently and answered in a way that they could clearly understand. Kind, down to earth, a really nice guy, he was patient, thorough and a pleasure to work with. We've recommended him to everybody we know. Thanks Codi!! read less

From the first call to signing the final document, he spent a great deal of time explaining all the details. I felt he truly listened to my ideas and helped me sort them out by looking at all the options and ramifications without trying to convince me one way or another. I would recommend his services to anyone. He's a really wonderful person and an honest, accomplished, knowledgeable lawyer. read less

He doesn't hide behind the fake sanctity that some lawyers like to build around themselves, like halos. He is down to earth and exudes--very important to me--the air of a man who is damned good at his specialty and whose self-confidence is well earned. It didn't hurt to learn as we talked that Codi is a well-known and respected probate lawyer at Big Pink (Marin County Courthouse). The powers that be at the courthouse know him, are used to him, and enjoy working with a successful, low-key lawyer who knows his stuff.Second, I realized after talking to Codi that my probate problem was a fairly common one and that there were well-established procedures for taking a case to probate court and getting a successful result. Codi mapped out how this whole matter would proceed and gave me an estimated timeline.I left feeling very confident about the outcome of a matter that had preoccupied me for several months. After that first consultation it feels strange to say that I didn't think about my probate case anymore. It had slipped off my mental radar, and I thank Codi that it did. The only times I would think about it were when Codi would send me periodic updates, none of which contained any distressing news.Long story short: Codi recently sent me news of a decision in my favor. From start to finish he handled my matter well. I have no hesitation recommending him. read less

He filled in a lot of gaps that the previous attorney missed, and he took the time to meet with me on 3 occasions to talk through my requested changes to make sure they were captured correctly. I appreciated his attention to detail and thoroughness, and he was always available to answer my questions. Thanks Codi for helping me take care of this in a stress-free way! read less

He deserves this review and I would recommend Codi for his talent, his brilliance and for being such a genuinely decent person. read less

To some extent it was due to difficulty deciding on an attorney. I take forever to make decisions but serendipity was on my side. Believe I found Codi Dada on Yelp and I could not have chosen a more perfect attorney to work through this process with me.He is smart, listens extremely well and catches all the nuances. With his assistance and coaching I have created a document that puts me at peace with the future. We included a Pet Trust for my beloved golden doodle. Do not procrastinate. Codi will help you through the process in both a supportive and professional manner. I couldn't be more grateful and satisfied. read less

Due to several factors my trust situation is complex. Having to coordinate with the Charles Schwab Trust company required a great deal of additional patience. The final product is excellent.Altogether Codi put in more hours than either he or I anticipated. Despite this, and totally at odds with my prior experiences with attorneys, he stuck to his original fee proposal. For the sake of equity, and with no prompting on his part, I felt compelled to give him a fee bonus equal to about one third of his original proposal. Wouldn't it be great if all our experiences with attorneys turned out the same way? read less

He's at work day after Thanksgiving. I called to see if he could help with a problem with a Trust. Yes! This included a ton of complications in another State. Codi said he wished he could help me as most would. He would not allow me to pay for a service one attorney could do instead of two. He is direct, warm, understanding and smart. I can make a good decision. I will seek his services again, maybe he'll let me pay him. Thanks Codi! read less

As I stated in my first review. I was faced with a life changing employment issue. Since then I was given documents to sign. (NOT by Mr.Dada or his Law Firm) The documents were worded in a manor that could have effected me to be responsible for costly financial bills in the future. I asked Mr. Dada if he would read over the documents before I signed them. My gut instinct along with my knowledge was correct. Without the sincere concern for my best interest Mr. Dada took the time to make sure the documents were corrected. I can not express enough how I feel this Law Firm is one that honestly and personally cares about their clients and what is truly best for them. I am very thankful for Mr. Dada's Law Firm and would highly suggest for anyone with a life changing issue such as mine to at least speak with them. I am confident you will get the advice you need. read less

Listened to what my needs are and was willing to work within my budget, which when starting a new business means a lot.

It was more like talking to a friend than an attorney. read less

Beginning with a family trust, and then extending into various legal issues related to my small business, Codi has been an ally and a counselor. He never fails to consider the entire problem. More than once, he mentioned something that I had not considered or added insight to a problem I was faced with. We all think that our problems are substantial and unique. They are to us. But, In reality, most legal issues that can come up in personal and business relationships have happened before. That is why having someone like Codi in your corner is so valuable. He has owned his own business. He has successfully navigated many difficult business and legal issues before, and he has shepherded people through such times as well. He can do the same for you.I appreciate Codi M. Dada. He did a lot of hard work for me. If I am ever in need of an attorney in the future, I will call him first. read less
