Gilfix & La Poll Associates

I recently needed to update my estate plan during a difficult time in my life, including establishing a special needs trust for family's future. Gilfix & La Poll Associates, LLP made the entire process sp easier than I expected- They took time to explain everything in plain English, never rushed me, and showed such genuine kindness and patience. The special needs planning was handled with such care and expertise. My trust and estate documents are exactly what I needed. Thank you for making this process feel " manageable and for your compassion throughout.

Excellent brief and helpful conversation! I was able to book a short 15 minute phone call within 3 days of submitting a contact form. Attorney Jeff called me, and we were able to effectively establish a decent foundation of court information, as such I am now much better prepared to handle my case at my own discretion. Thank you!

Looking for an amazing estate planning attorney? Look no further! We had the best experience with Nick Klingenberg.

My family and I have been clients of Gilfix & La Poll Associates law firm for over 20 years. Nicholas Klingenberg, Esq represented our mother's estate in the California Probate process this past year. From the initial consultation through the final distribution of assets, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, legal expertise, and personal sensitivity during a time that was both legally complex from co-executors from in two different states to the Last Will and Testament beneficiary's perspective and emotionally challenging. Mr. Klingenberg approached every aspect of the case with thoroughness and clarity. He communicated all legal procedures and requirements in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring that we were well-informed and confident at each stage. He promptly addressed our questions, provided regular updates, and handled all paperwork with precision and efficiency. One of the most commendable qualities Mr. Klingenberg exhibited was a genuine commitment to fairness and the best interests of all involved parties. He navigated potentially contentious issues with tact and impartiality, helping to preserve family relationships while still upholding the law. Thanks to his guidance, the probate process proceeded smoothly, on schedule, and with minimal stress. He was not only a skilled legal advocate but also a compassionate advisor, offering reassurance and clear direction throughout. I am deeply grateful for the high level of service and integrity that Mr. Klingenberg brought to this matter. I would confidently recommend him and Gilfix & La Poll Associates to anyone in need of probate or estate legal services.

Very nice when I called but wanted between $400-600 depending on lawyer for consultation. I literally just wanted to see if they'd do my trust administration and if they'd be able to use prop 19 work around to keep property taxes low. I saw their youttube videos. Theyre the only lawyer that wouldn't do a free 15 minute consultation which is crazy to me. Imagine spending $600 just to be told either no or they'd take your case but charge you some enormous amount. Crazy I'd avoid.
