Testimonials From Our Estate Planning Clients

"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 highly recommend John Goralka and the entire staff of the Goralka Law Firm."

"I originally went to the Mr. Goralka in 2006 for my Will and Trust. I was pleased with the attention I received so when I needed to update these items I again went to Mr. Goralka. I was again pleased. He was patient with my questions and explained until I understood. I would recommend his Law Firm to anyone looking for a reliable source to provide them with conscientious service."

"Five stars!"

"Very warm and good memories of the family speak of family values, love and respect that you carry throughout life."

"John and his staff are all professional and very competent. I refer clients from my labor law firm to John when they ask me if I can recommend an excellent wills and trust attorney."

"Thank you for making the estate planning process so easy and "painless". We appreciate your efforts on our behalf."

"Goralka Law Firm initially helped my elderly mother with her trust and then restating it after her husband passed away. This alone went very smooth and was handled professionally through all the steps and paperwork. Unfortunately, after her husband passed away, an issue arose with the county that involved her property being re-assessed in error, which caused a huge increase in her property taxes. John and his team were a great help in getting this issue resolved. They agreed to file the necessary paperwork with the county along with copies of her trust that were needed to verify that her property never changed hands. John's team stayed in close contact with us by answering all our questions and emails promptly. This whole process was very time consuming on the counties end, but Goralka Law Firm made this transaction easier by making sure we had all the correct paperwork submitted on my mom's behalf. Thank you!"

“Goralka Law Firm does an outstanding job in preparing Trust Documents. They are very knowledgeable, including the office staff, and make the process very smooth by providing answers to your questions in a timely manner. They provide a binder with all of the trust documents enclosed with tabs so it is easy to locate the sections as needed. Their fee is very reasonable, also. I highly recommend the Goralka Law Firm to anyone that requires a new Trust on an updated Trust.”

"Everyone in the firm was knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. A very professional firm and I would recommend to them to anyone looking for help in this matter."

"John and Amanda are wonderful people who’s only purpose is to help families plan for the future. Extremely professional and informative. If you are looking for estate planning then this is the place."

"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."
