Testimonials From Our Business, Tax, and Estate Planning Clients

“My family needed some straight talk expert advice on a tax issue related to my father's death, passing away without a will. After hours of research on the Internet, we decided to consult Attorney John Goralka due to his impressive credentials. And we are glad that we did. John is a knowledgeable and caring professional. At the initial consultation, he listened patiently to our story and explained our options clearly without pressuring us to hire him. Throughout our engagement, John continued to be our helpful and reassuring advisor. Even though the amount at stake in our case was quite modest compared to others he handled, John understood our concerns and could think from our perspective. His responses to our questions were always very prompt and easy to understand. He made a stressful situation much less so. Working with John on my family’s tax matters and so many other things was a pleasure.”

"After traveling across the country, during covid 19, John and his staff bent over backwards to ensure that we would spend no more time in California than absolutely necessary. We traveled to probate an estate and also a trust. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon, were able to meet with John on Wednesday and signed our last papers on Friday afternoon, allowing us to leave Sacramento on Saturday morning. John's paralegal, Haley Hanam was a God send, taking numerous calls from us and ALWAYS being able to answer our questions and expedite our legal papers. We would definitely recommend Goralka Law Firm to anyone needing legal assistance in the Sacramento area."
