EXCELLENT WORK AND DETAILED COVERAGE

“Thank you for your excellent work and detailed coverage of my situation. I have recommended your legal firm to anyone needing your kind of services for over 20 years and will continue in the future. Your firm adds more value than one might perceive from the web page or otherwise. I also appreciate the personal touch, especially under the present circumstances.”

John R.

10000/10 RECOMMEND

“Lawyers are supposed to bring you peace and that’s exactly what they did for me. Tiffany and Lucy are so knowledgeable in what they do and you can really put your trust in them to help you. 10000/10 recommend. They’ll always have such a big place in my heart!”

Bridget H.

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND RESULTS

“Oleg Cross did an outstanding job in resolving my complicated trust issues. Excellent service and results.”

Joyce H.

COMPASSION AND EMPATHY

“When I found this firm, I’d had a terrible experience elsewhere and was distraught. Lucy was patient with me and displayed compassion and empathy while maintaining appropriate boundaries of professionalism. She is passionate, determined, and innovative–a breath of fresh air. As I cuddle my child each night, I feel immense gratitude for how she helped me achieve my outcome, and with integrity–an increasingly scarce quality in Family Law.”

Angela S.

ANYONE WHO WANTS RESULTS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

“Tiffany is so dedicated and determined to fight for what’s right for the child and the family while being such a professional through and through. I’ve never met a lady that truly cares so much for the family with compassion and understanding. Tiffany’s knowledge and understanding of the legal system and process is TOP NOTCH with no games and I would 1,000,000% recommend Tiffany to anyone who wants results at the highest level. After all that was said and done, Tiffany was able to get me 100% legal custody of my Daughter. Thank you again, Tiffany; we love you!!”

Jason K.

Liz

GREATLY APPRECIATED YOUR ABILITY AND PROFESSIONALISM

“Thank you, Ed and Mari, for your outstanding help with this estate. There were so many issues, both legal and factual, and you were able to avoid having us deal with some difficult issues, such as dealing with unfound relatives and avoiding the need for a final account, receipts, and court approvals.

I have greatly appreciated your ability and your professionalism. If I ever am asked for a referral to probate counsel in southern California, you will certainly be my recommendation.”

Dayton S.

As an attorney and CPA, he has a depth and breadth of knowledge few attorneys are fortunate to possess. Mark prepared our family trust for us when we moved to the area, and we have relied on him ever since. Mark is extremely competent and meticulous in every detail he handles. We have the utmost trust and respect for him.”

“The team at BKF has been an excellent partner for our legal affairs for over 20 years.

If you need legal help, your best choice has to be BKF.”
