I'm extremely happy with the trust documents Lukas prepared for me. He was very professional, friendly and patiently explained the documents in detail for me. He answered all of my questions to my toral satisfaction. The entire process was accomplished very quickly and throughly. The cost of the package was, in my opinion, very fair. It was actually a real pleasure meeting and working with Lukas and Daniel to do the final signing to finish off the package.

I met with Lucas today and finalized my Living Trust and Health directive. I was glad to go thru the many pages and clarify all of the documents with Lucas. It made it easier to understand it. Lucas was really patient and also met with the notary which was Daniel Dada. He arrived on time and we got everything signed. I would definitely recommend Codi and Lucas to anyone in the future. Thank you.

Lucas and Codi first provided clear advice and then proceeded to create a new Grant Deed to replace an existing one that had an error. Done efficiently and quickly. Thanks!

I am currently working with Codi M. Dada to handle my late father’s estate. Probate is a long and confusing process, but Codi has been very helpful in getting the paperwork started so I can be named as the administrator of the estate. He is professional, explains the statutory fees under the California Probate Code clearly , and has made a difficult time much easier to navigate. I highly recommend him if you are just starting this process!

I couldn’t recommend a better attorney for the probate process. Codi genuinely has the heart of a teacher and makes sure you understand every step from start to finish. He takes the time to walk through everything in plain, easy-to-understand terms, never rushes you, and answers questions thoroughly. His pricing is very reasonable, and the clarity and support he provides throughout the process made a stressful situation feel manageable.
