Testimonials From Our Business, Tax, and Estate Planning Clients

"When I first needed estate planning services, I contacted the Goralka Law Firm. John and his team were competent, helpful, and always pleasant to work with. Three years later, I needed to make a modification of the original trust, and the team again provided excellent service. Every detail was handled efficiently and clearly explained. I highly recommend this law firm!"

"John and his team did an excellent job assisting us with a complex property situation and also helped us draw up our trusts. The attorney on the other side of the real estate transaction was incompetent and John took the time to educate him even though he was unresponsive and not particularly cooperative. He truly understands Proposition 13 which was paramount to us. In addition to the real estate transaction, he assisted us with our family estate planning and provided terrific advice to save on taxes. He also happens to be a nice person."

"We needed to update and renew our outdated Living Trust. The Goralka Law Firm made the process easy with the questionnaire they sent out, and used an encrypted website for us to upload the information to. Once all information was provided, we met with John via video conference to go over our needs and what we were planning. John made recommendations to simplify our process for future needs should the Trust have to kick in plus simplified our need to go around making changes. Once we were done with the video call Goralka Law Firm prepared the package and we had our final meeting in person to review and sign the paperwork and we were done! So grateful to the Goralka Law Firm team for taking us on and simplifying the process."

“We have used John in the past to set up our family trust and were very pleased with the results and the experience, so we contacted him again to look into whether to set up a rental property we were buying into an LLC or not. John was very helpful and knowledgeable. He gave us the pros and cons of setting up the LLC, and helped us with the process in a timely manner that fit into the escrow closing time. I would highly recommend John.”
