Law Office of Emily J. Buchbinder - Capitola, California

I met Emily at an event where she was talking about the importance of a trust. I had always believed that because my assets all had my daughter as the beneficiary, I didn't need one. I learned at that event that I really did.

When my parents needed me to take over as trustee of their trust, I asked Emily to review it as it was decades old. She spotted a couple of things that needed updating. I also set up my own trust at that time. She and her staff were great to work with. The trusts are done. I feel confident that I am doing the best with my parents' assets and my own.

I would highly recommend her for estate planning and her special education in taxation of estates. She is one of the few that can really explain prop 19 clearly.

Emily and her team are the best. They helped me do a trust and she was professional and kind. She is extremely knowledgable and answered any question I had. I highly recommend Emily if you need someone to help you with your estate planning.

I've now used Emily twice, she is my family lawyer. She initially helped my father when he was in the hospital terribly sick construct his will. She was kind and patient and took good care of us during a really difficult time. Most recently I used her to help with my personal will. Once again she is a deeply professional and caring human who will take the time to make sure your needs are met. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to any and all.

We used Emily for our Trush and she was wonderful. Super responsive and able to answer complex questions as well and break things down and help us achieve what we wanted. I would use her again. Her team was easy to get a hold of and everything was done well.

Working with Emily and the staff at the law office was a pleasureful experience. Emily really laid out various options for consideration in a concise and clear manner which were easy to grasp and formulate a position. She took time to guide us through the legal language which really helped streamline the process. Special call out to Nicole and Heidi which made for ease in reviewing and receiving updates as needed with feedback from Emily. Bravo!

Working with Emily and her team was a great experience. She provided great estate planning advice, listened to our family's needs, and provided fair and equitable solutions.

My family has had 3 generations of estate planning, creating a somewhat complex landscape of legacy trusts, along with our current assets. With that, we were looking to protect for the future. Emily cut through the legal-ese with acumin, listened to our current needs, and then laid out a roadmap to a comprehensive estate plan, taking into account the next generation and possible tax implications.
I can easily recommend her services and look forward to continuing to work with her as our family moves into the future, this, knowing our we have done our best to make our plan is tight as possible.

Emily and her team are the best! Every communication is professional, clear and helpful. We felt absolutely taken care of throughout the entire process of creating our family trust. We have been recommending Emily to family and friends ever since!
