Law Office of Marisa Nelson, PC

I wholeheartedly recommend Marisa! Working with her has been a wonderful experience marked by professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. In what can often be an emotionally charged and complicated process, Marisa brought a calm, steady presence and ensured every detail was addressed. I am grateful for her guidance and service.

Marisa and her team made estate planning feel approachable and stress-free. They were kind, thorough, and incredibly responsive. I felt truly cared for every step of the way. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind and a team you can trust!

I found Marisa Nelson after careful research and review of her background. I chose Marisa from several lawyers and so glad I did. She diligently put all her efforts in preparing our trust(s) she worked hard to get a document that was needed and was not available upon her request. I personally was almost giving up and very worried. Marisa continued to work hard and completed the task. Her legal knowledge played a big role in accomplishing the task. She is kind empathetic, calm and most importantly a great listener and communicator. I highly recommend her. Marisa is definitely part of our family legal team. I am eternally grateful for her support and service. RRK

Marisa helped us with our estate planning. Despite having a child, we'd put it off for a number of years. We found Marisa through Yelp. She also provided references when we asked. The references were glowing, and we're glad we went with her. It was easy to communicate with her in person as well as over email. We appreciated being able to fill out the questionnaire and schedule appointments online. It made it much easier to work around my husband's busy schedule. She explained things very clearly. We only had a general idea of what we wanted to do. Marisa explained what options are common, what people typically choose in our situation (and why), and also was supportive in the areas where we wanted to do something uncommon. When we were done with the legal portion, she also followed up with a list of tasks we need to do to truly complete our estate planning (eg. make sure your guardians have a copy of the will). In fact Marisa made the process painless and relatively quick--I only feel bad that we waited so long to do it! We look forward to working with her in the future when we need changes and would definitely recommend her to others!

Marisa has helped me for the last 5+ years with our planning needs. She was able to help get our Illinois estate plan transitioned to be California compliant and up to date. She also brought my parent's estate plan into this century after unwinding ancient planning techniques employed by their earlier attorney. More recently she provided me expert advice when I found myself as the executor of my aunt's estate. She has also just assisted us with updating durable powers for my son who turned 18 at the beginning of the month - she is on top of it all! I highly recommend Marisa and her entire team.
