Testimonials From Our Business, Tax, and Estate Planning Clients

I attended a Living Trust seminar presented by John. My mother had just passed and Mom and Dad's Living Trust had not been updated in nine years. I was impressed with the extensive knowledge John demonstrated. I went home and told my father he should contact John to update his living trust since it had been so many years since it had been done. We went to see John and he updated my Dad's trust. Dad is very happy with what John and his staff have done. He now has peace of mind knowing all his wishes will be taken care of. John and his staff were very professional and at the same time so friendly we felt like we were now part of their family. We highly recommend John and the John Goralka Law firm to anyone who needs top notch legal help with their Living Trust needs.

I started my relationship with the Goralka Law Firm by attending their living trust seminar. I highly recommend this! I have been a financial planner for almost 20 years and have attended numerous seminars, but none as educational and motivational as John Goralka's! After the seminar, I arranged to have him come speak at my branch office where he was equally impressive. He and his staff have been nothing but professional, timely and pleasant to work with. I also just completed the process to create our family trust.and was most satisfied. Every concern I had and decisions I needed to make were carefully addressed. In close, I highly recommend the Goralka Law Firm to anyone in need of a new trust, trust update, or estate tax planning. You will not be disappointed!

John Goralka handled a restatement of our trust for us. He, as well as his staff, was excellent to work with. John impressed us with his knowledge and attention to detail as well as his desire to end up with a product that would address the issues we were concerned with and be current with the laws as well as provide protection if those laws should change. He addressed our questions and concerns with respect and a willingness to spend time to explain and help us make decisions. We would recommend John Goralka to anyone seeking excellent legal assistance.

I have been in the CPA profession for over 25 years and have always recommended The Goralka Law Firm to clients needing estate and trust work or for complex tax representation and advice. I have also entrusted John and his staff to set up my own family trust. My clients and I are extremely pleased with the firm's extensive experience and professionalism. Both John and his staff have always been extremely courteous and thoughtful. I have no hesitation to continue to recommend The Goralka Law Firm to clients and friends.

This review is long overdue. A while back we had a severe mold infestation caused by a leaky kitchen sink in an apartment we were renting. The owner refused to invest to properly (and safely) have the mold removed and sink fixed. As a result, the mold began impacting my health and the landlord refused to allow us to break our lease. A family friend recommended we contact the Goralka Law Firm because they had a very positive experience working with them. Even though tenant/landlord disputes are not the main focus of the Goralka Law Firm, they agreed to take on our case and were both friendly and pleasant to work with. The Goralka Law Firm explained our rights as tenants and helped us draft a legal note to our landlord requiring him to make appropriate fixes or allow us to break our lease. They were both prompt in their drafting of the letter and available to answer all of our questions. Ultimately, our landlord let us out of our lease, refunded our full deposit, and we had no need to pursue further legal action. We are so grateful to the Goralka Law Firm for their help and expedited delivery of all legal documents - we highly recommend this law firm!

I have known John for over 30 years. His honesty and character are beyond reproach. His professional resume ranks among the top in the industry. I have retained John's services on several occasions and have been thoroughly satisfied with his superior legal work. Furthermore, as a legal professional myself, I am often asked by friends and family for attorney referrals. I have made a dozen or so referrals for people seeking help with estate planning to John. Without fail, each person I directed his way praised his excellent work and thanked me for recommending him to them. Lastly, John has surrounded himself with a team of professionals and support staff that mirrors the high standards he sets for himself. John's firm is truly one of the premier estate planning firms in the area; one can retain The Goralka Law firm knowing they have made the right choice in choosing their attorney.

The Goralka Law Firm helped us set up a trust for our family. They were really pleasant to work with and made the process an easy one. They answered any questions we had, gave us some great advice when we asked for it, and even gave us some things to think about that we hadn't even considered having to make a decision on. John also represented us in a dispute with our neighbors and with a lease dispute. We were very pleased with the outcome of both issues. He's always prompt and courteous to our needs and requests. We have never felt that we were overcharged for his services. We are very happy working with The Goralka Law Firm and will continue to do so. He's the first attorney that comes to mind when we are needing or looking for legal advice. We highly recommend the Goralka Law Firm.

John Goralka is an experienced, knowledgeable and skilled attorney. He is an expert in business and estate planning matters, with a specialty in taxation law. I have personally worked with John on numerous complex litigation matters concerning business, real estate, trust, breach of contract, corporate, insurance and partnership law. In one case, John's corporate client was sued by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Pennsylvania for a large sum of money. John was able to get the case resolved with his client paying nothing. I would not hesitate to recommend John Goralka.

John and his staff did a great job setting up our family trust. He was great to work with, provided fab follow up, and is always available to answer one of my many many questions. We could not be happier with our experience and his service. Estate planning can be a scary thing, with lots of difficult decision points and technical language to maneuver through. John walked us through it all - every step of the way showing the utmost professionalism and caring. We are happy to have him guide us through this process and feel comforted that we've got things in place if/when the time comes.

The Goralka law firm has handled my mothers business and trust administration for more than 15 years. My mothers close friend had hired John Goralka to prepare her trust documents because she appreciated John's integrity, his personal attention to her needs and his thorough law practice. My mother was designated by her friend to be the successor trustee of the estate. All of the instructions and wishes of the trustee were followed with care and correctness. We discovered after the trustee's passing, the estate had many issues to chase down and resolve which were time consuming. Later, I became the co-successor trustee to assist my mother in getting the estate closed. At this point, I became a client and I was never a beneficiary nor did I choose any compensation for my time in my role as the client. My goal was to insure that every asset was distributed according to the wishes of the trustee and the trust administration complied with the law. I appreciated that John followed each of the unresolved issues to conclusion to ensure the assets of the estate were fully identified and distributed according to the instructions of the trustee and the laws of this state. To my personal and professional knowledge I have never heard of a complaint about John Goralka and his firm. To the contrary, John Goralka and his firm have presented themselves with the utmost of professionalism and efficiency and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their professional services.

My wife and I were in need of getting our financial affairs in order, so when we saw an ad in the SacBee for their free Trust seminar we called and set up an appointment. We attended the seminar presented by John and were impressed with the extensive knowledge John demonstrated. We chose Goralka Law Firm to do our Living Trust based on this, and the rapport we felt when we talked to him about our situation. John and his staff were very professional and at the same time so friendly we felt like we were now part of their family. We highly recommend John and the John Goralka Law firm to anyone who needs help with their Living Trust needs.

Just finished the firm doing our will and trust. Very professional. Very helpful in answering all questions. Thought the fees were fair and reasonable. For the quality that we received. When you need to call in for additional information and questions they do not bill you once you become their client.
