Testimonials From Our Estate Planning Clients

We had our Family Trust revised by John Goralka, he was patient, and took his time to explain all the possibilities, then completed the paperwork and went through it all to have us sign. We were pleased with the product.

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.

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.

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.

We were referred to this firm and, after reading the extremely helpful information on the firm's web site, we were convinced that we would be working with very knowledgeable professionals. We were very pleased with the expertise of the team and their attention to our special needs to update my parent's trust. They were very thorough, making it clear that they had my parents' best interest as the priority, while, at the same time, listening carefully to their wishes. The staff is gracious and welcoming, which is especially appreciated when difficult, end-of-life decisions are being made. I would highly recommend working with the Goralka Law Firm.

After doing extensive research on the Internet to find the best estate planning and family living trust attorney in the Sacramento area, my spouse and I narrowed it down to two firms. We had a free phone consultation with one of the firms and were impressed with what we found out. The other firm, the Goralka Law Firm, offered a free seminar which my spouse and I attended. In the seminar, which lasted about two hours, John Goralka presented a very convincing case for using his firm by going through the many mistakes that people can make when establishing an estate plan. This two-hour presentation gave ample time to interact with John and see how he thoroughly addresses these potential mistakes with his very comprehensive trusts. The seminar gave us much more confidence in using the Goralka Law Firm than the phone consultation we had with the attorney at the other firm, so we chose John to do our trust. We were not disappointed. The whole process from filling out the detailed questionnaire, to interacting with the friendly and competent staff, to our original meeting with John to review our specific parameters for constructing the trust, to the final meeting with John and the signing of the trust and all the related documents went very smoothly. We are extremely happy with our trust, and feel confident that we made the right choice in selecting the Goralka Law Firm. The trust was more expensive than the average living trust, but we are happy we spent the extra money to get the best product available. Saving money on your living trust can cost much more than the money saved if your trust is not constructed in the comprehensive manner John's trust is. We have the most basic trust you can get from John, and our trust document itself is 64 pages. When combined with all the supporting documents of the trust, there are approximately 300 pages. We highly recommend John Goralka and the entire staff of the Goralka Law Firm.

My mother opened a Trust with Goralka Law but didn't complete the process. As the Trustee, Kristin working with John on completing the process was just amazing. Their understanding of various aspects of law and family dynamics in dealing with these emotional situations was great and helped us understand the family dynamics and emotions during those times.
