Hello, moms: this is my first time here. We are relatively new to LA and the south bay area. Could anyone recommend a professional who can help us set up a will and a living trust? Preferably here in south bay. Thank you so much! ~ C.

I have the BEST attorney for you! Alexis Neely. She's a mom, and a professional specifically focused on helping kids and families maintain and grow their wealth through proper management of wills, living trusts, etc. She also offers a free newsletter and great add'l info via her website, at http://www.martinneely.com/. I recommend her to everybody. She worked with my mom and her compassion and professionalism really impressed me beyond. She is located in Redondo Beach, on PCH and Beryl. Best of luck!

We used this guy about 4 years ago. It cost around $600 which I think is low compared with others I've talked with. He and his partner were great - there were no surprises on cost, they gave us plenty of time and offered to make revisions later if we needed it.
Hope it helps!

I'd recommend Brian Brandlin. We asked him to do a mini presentation to my book club (his sister is a friend in the club) and he was great. Extremely professional, very trustworthy and all of the gals in the club are now going to use him to set up their will/trust. Good luck!

We just used Alexis Martin Neely's firm to do ours as well. Their fees are higher than most attorneys but they pride themselves on a long-term relationship. So they provide consultation every 3 years to make sure the documents are up-to-date with new laws and changes to your family situation.

He's not in the South Bay but most of your will/trust stuff can be done over the phone. We were very happy with his work.

Here is his web address: www.seanfeeneylaw.com
You'll be able to get all his contact information from his website.

Good Luck!

I just did a living trust with LegalZoom.com. It was an awesome experience and cost me a fraction of what an attorney would have cost.
