Wills, Trusts &
Estate Planning

My parents decided that they should finally put their estate into a living trust at a very advanced age, an age that made the process much more challenging that what would be optimal. Fortunately, we had Thomas Christopher and the Christopher Law Group on our side. Tom was professional, detail oriented, gentle, and caring. It is an amazing combination that allowed us to move through the process in a timely fashion with confidence that things were being done correctly. The group went out of its way to help get documents signed and to explain things more times than I like to admit. As we move closer to needing to take advantage of the trust, Tom has continued to be a valuable resource. I can think of no one with whom I would rather have handle a trust in the future, and I will always be thankful for the reference I received to choose Tom and the Christopher and the effort they have put forth on our behalf.

I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas Christopher!

I needed an estate attorney to update my living trust after my wife passed. A friend recommended Mr. Christopher and I am delighted with him, his caring manner, and his meticulous work.

He is very well prepared and organized, and he took me step by step through the things I would need to do as I worked with him over a period of time to get the new trust done.

He welcomed my frequent questions, and was glad to take my calls when I needed to clarify something or get further guidance from him.

He was also very caring and understanding that I was going through a rough time, missing my wife and grieving.

If his great customer service, kindness and legal expertise weren't enough, I also really appreciate that he charges a flat rate (a very reasonable one for the high level of quality of his work). This makes budget planning much easier and less stressful. He is focused on the needs of his clients, and not on billing clients for every phone call or email or extra time needed to answer questions or give guidance. (My previous attorney was in a big Century City law firm, and oh my, if I sneezed, I got billed! I dreaded doing business with him and I felt really taken advantage of there.) With Mr. Christopher, I feel I have someone there for me, not for my pocketbook.

Another thing I really like about him: He gives back to the community. Being a family man and having children that he's devoted to, he still makes time to be involved in a large service center run by the Los Angeles Police Department and community volunteers to help "at risk" teens - mentoring, tutoring, providing recreational opportunities, and lots of other support for young people who don't have the advantages that others have. This makes me feel all the better, knowing that he isn't just about himself and his family, but he is also contributing to the welfare of the greater community.

I highly recommend this fine attorney. We need more people like him!

Thomas Christopher was recommended to us to help us put together our of our Living Trust. Thomas was very detailed throughout the entire process, explaining every step and giving my wife and I time to discuss our various options. Since this was the first trust or will we had worked on, it was great having a thorough explanation of the various documents we were drafting. I highly recommend.
