Highly Recommend Him!
Family planning and estate planning is always an awkward proposition. It brings up things no one wants to think about ("who will take care of the kids if we die?") or uncomfortable conversations ("gee parents, if you don't put your stuff in a trust or other arrangement, the government will take it all in taxes when you die, instead of leaving it for me!")
Michael Dobrov can smooth out what usually is a rough process. He spends time with you helping explain different estate planning possibilities, and the different implications associated with them. He understands what your big picture goals are, and patiently works with you and your family to help set things up to achieve them. He is responsive to your emails and calls, which is always a plus when dealing with attorneys. When all is said and done, you are left with peace of mind and your financial and legal affairs in order. I highly recommend him!

Good Guy, but Above All, Good Lawyer!
When my father passed away this year I, as successor trustee, was faced with several loose ends in organizing and managing his estate. Trouble with the IRS, unfiled income taxes, missing documents; a real mess. Desperate and at sea, I consulted with three different estate planning attorneys. My free consultation with Michael won me over. His deft understanding of California laws, particularly with regard to probate and estate planning, was most impressive. I hired him to help my family with our estate planning. He was an excellent listener and took personal interest in our situation. He performed the work described and rendered other tasks as directed with efficiency and punctuality. Good guy, but above all, good lawyer!
Since then he commonly has gone above and beyond what we would expect from any other attorney. He always answers questions quickly and articulately, and resolves problems in a most thorough, courteous and respectful manner. He is diligent in his efforts to meet all of our needs and is a true professional, communicating pertinent information and interpreting local laws. I continue to recommend him to anyone who needs help in his area of expertise.
