      "She Took Care of Everything That I Needed."

      I had a lot of questions and she took the time to walk me through everything in terms that I could easily understand. She also gave me options instead of just telling me how she’d prepare items. She took care of everything that I needed.

      "This firm exemplifies how a multi-faceted group of attorneys can work together to achieve positive results."

      This firm exemplifies how a multi-faceted group of attorneys can work together to achieve positive results. Their secretary Sally listened to my initial call and coordinated a meeting with their legal team. From there, they successfully handled everything from setting up a conservatorship, litigation, initiating a special needs trust, and then navigated through the probate process. Despite MY flaws and misconceptions, they continuously and patiently educated me each step of the way using the highest and best legal practices as their guide.

      I took George Arata at his word, his word was all I had to go on and his word was as good as gold. Tenacious Legal representation is what I got from this firm. 

      "

      Nothing can be more confusing and frustrating than trying to figure out who to trust when life situations happen. Finding an Attorney that you can trust is not easy and as much as you want to place trust in this person, you will be skeptical. I know this, because this is exactly how I felt. The following are the facts of my experience:
      When I met George Arata for the first time, he said to me that he would be upfront and honest and he was. He said that he wouldn’t settle for anything less than what he thought we deserved, and he did not. He told me that he would always be available through email for any questions that I had, and he was.
      If you thinking of going with an upscale Attorney from Beverly Hills or Malibu because you believe that firm will get you a bigger settlement, just think about these things: The distance between you and your Attorney, will impede your ability to establish a relationship
      Example: If your case is filed in Stanislaus or San Joaquin County, your fees to that firm will increase considerably, because your attorney or his/her representative will have to travel to come to you for hearings, mediations, and medical appointments. Any travel, whether it be by car or airline will be expensive and this will mean less money in your pocket. Keep in mind that on top of the Percentage of Attorney fees, you are also responsible for costs incurred.
      An Attorney who is located in another city or county, means your communication will be via phone calls (good luck getting someone to return your call in a timely manner), or via email (a large volume of emails means yours can get easily overlooked). My advice is do not put hundreds of miles between you and an Attorney in a time of such delicate nature, and at a time when you need to rely on your Attorney. Keep in mind that If your attorney’s office is local, you can pop in to the firm anytime you want to.
      Truth: I took George Arata at his word, his word was all I had to go on and his word was as good as gold. Tenacious Legal representation is what I got from this firm. The staff that I came into contact with provided top level customer service and a wealth of knowledge. I have nothing but good things to say about George Arata and the Law Office of Arata, Swingle, Van Egmond and Heitlinger. I give you my word.

      "Thorough & Caring"

      The attorney discussed my options and if I chose to go forward with a case she does not specialize, she will be able to refer me to another attorney in their same law firm.
