Our review of our trust with the attorney, Scott, from SD Elder Law was exceptional. He had reviewed our trust and was prepared to answer our 13 questions we had sent in prior to our meeting. He was friendly and very informative. We highly recommend them.

My attorneys at the San Diego Elder Law Center were Scott Templeton and Adam Juel. Important staff included Ann Roberts, Liz Lockwood and Sarah Harris. All of them have worked diligently to help me handle two petitions concerning my mother's estate, and to ensure that I have outstanding legal support to help me honor my mother's wishes as trustee for her estate. Our family would have been lost without their superior guidance and support!

i asked for SDELC's help over 2 years ago after my aunt had a stroke and became cognitively impaired. i needed to take over the management of her legal and financial affairs and i worked with attorney scott templeton and paralegal ann roberts. both of them were very knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through various legal processes. the two most complex issues were: (1) taking my aunt's bank to court since they seemed to want to fight me every step of the way when it came to accepting my power-of-attorney so that i could manage my aunt's accounts, and (2) setting up a conservatorship for my aunt so that i could comprehensively manage everything for her without any further legal challenges.

throughout it all, scott and ann explained every step of every process to me in a way i could easily understand. now that my conservatorship is fully set up, i'll continue to use SDELC for all of my aunt's future legal needs.

of course, i would gladly recommend SDELC (scott and ann in particular) to anyone who needs legal help for their elderly relatives!

In 2021 I was beaten by a 40 year old woman and she broke my neck. The judge said "anyone can say I'm disabled " even though I provided medical records showing just about every bone in my body is metal from neck to tailbone & 2 hip replacements. Not one law firm will help me. She's continued to harassment and continues to bring restraining orders against me lying. She even said I committed a felon and her boss was going to bring legal charges against me, yet the owner said he knows nothing about it, but she told the judge on second time this was true? I have so much proof She's insane person and a lying. So I'm writing a page in major magazine naming 2 judges and all lawyers who wrote, they will not help. Including this one and district attorney office. Including pictures of my injury and surgery to repair my neck.

We were referred to San Diego Elder Law Center by a friend of mine and we’re specifically referred to Carly Surber Maganuco. We had a long phone conversation with Carly and the subsequently had her review all of our trusts, wills and financial statements. Then we met with Carly in person for 90 minutes and she gave us an education on what we could expect in the future and where she could help. We paid $350 for the consultation and my father said “it was the best $350 I’ve ever spent”. Carly was honest and straight forward and told us that we had all the documentation set up correctly and there was little she could do to help us today but she told us when we should contact her for help in the future

It was very relieving to meet a lawyer with such integrity and honesty and it honestly lifted a weight off our shoulders knowing we had found an expert who we could trust to help us navigate some of the challenges ahead. I have already referred Carly to two other people I know who were looking for help and I feel much more confident that I will be able to assist my parents as they are because I now have Carly at my side

I would highly recommend Carly to anyone seeking assistance and it was a true pleasure to work with her
