Victims Of Accidents Poway Personal Lawyers

Posted by: Patrick Donovan Posted on: March 2, 2023 , , ,

During the recent foul weather, I’ve noticed accidents nearly every day of the week. Big or small, driving past, I always felt a tinge of sympathy, vicarious pain, and occasionally grief for those who experienced a life-altering or ending accident.
While personal injury lawyers get a bad reputation from the press and media, there are very few others who the victims of an accident can go to after getting into an accident. Insurance companies are perversely incentivized to try to shortchange you, and the other drivers on the road often don’t have the means to provide for the kind of care you’ll need.

That’s why we heavily recommend you find a personal injury attorney in the days directly after your accident, big or small. Any number of health issues can result from even a minor crash, and you need a representative of your interests to battle the leviathan of the insurance companies.
Here in San Diego, the firm we always end up coming back to for these unfortunate souls is Poway local team Villasenor Law Offices. Villasenor got their start working in the insurance industry, so they have the inside knowledge that can help guarantee a successful claim on your part.
In addition to their inside knowledge, the team has a rock solid reputation for fair dealing and conscientious attention to detail. Take a look at some of the many sterling reviews clients have left them over the years:

I recently hired Chris for his services, and was very pleased with the outcome. Chris and Vickie were great to work with and always quick to respond to my questions when needed. They made me feel very comfortable and were very helpful in guiding me through my issue every step of the way. I would definitely use them again if needed.

Over the last 10 years, Chris Villasenor has created several contracts for my company that protect me in case a dispute with a client or contractor crops up. He has also reviewed contracts from my potential clients or partners and made recommendations on ways they needed to be revised in order to protect my best interest. Chris was also very helpful and informative when my husband & I were faced with a real estate dispute while purchasing our current home. Chris is trustworthy, professional and a great legal resource in times of need AND he’s become my attorney of choice!

Chris is an excellent attorney… Pragmatic in his approach, but also very personable. I feel I was given wise counsel in negotiating a partnership exit strategy that protected my interests in a fair and measured way. His involvement brought me a sense of confidence. He listened to what I needed, explained my obligations, and suggested a clear path to resolution. I recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

If you need a San Diego law firm in your corner after experiencing an accident, Villasenor Law Offices is the only way to go. You have to be proactive, as every day you spend laid up after an accident is a day an insurance company is spending building a case against your claim.

California Law Ensures Trust Attorney Essential For Family Protection

Posted by: Patrick Donovan Posted on: November 9, 2022 , , ,

As little as we all like to face the inevitability of death, working with a living trust lawyer is absolutely essential to prevent your family from descending into the inferno of probate cases. Probate is the judicial process in which a will is contested in court, and there is nothing outside of a messy divorce that has the propensity to tear a family apart faster than a drawn-out probate case.
Probate cases typically involve either a current or former beneficiary of a will disputing any provision included in their benefactor’s will. This means that anyone mentioned in the will can dispute anything included within, including what is allocated to other beneficiaries.

Family members who had gotten along well prior to the reading of the will may find themselves feeling slighted or wronged by the allocation of assets. The draw of money is a powerful force, powerful enough to justify destroying the relationship they hold with each other if given the appropriate justification and incentive.
To deny them that justification and incentive, then, is your duty as their benefactor. The best way to do that is by creating an airtight will and trust, and to do that you need the help of an expert team of trust attorneys.
The best of the best here in Orange County is, of course, Burris Law. Burris has been crafting airtight wills and trusts for clients for decades, and they have the testimonials to prove it. Here’s a taste of what their clients have to say about them:

Jumping into the preparation of a family trust is an important effort to protect your family when unexpected things happen. Initially, it can feel a bit overwhelming. Our family just finished working with Ariana and the Burris team to put together our family’s living trust. We could not have had a better experience. They are highly organized, super friendly, and thorough! The lines of communication were open, prompt, and reassuring. Love the office and we have the highest regard & trust with the Burris team. – David S., Google Review

I had a great experience with Jason and Burris Law! I’ve never been in litigation of any kind in my last few years in Real Estate, and had been dreading working closely with an attorney when something inevitably would come up. Raissa and Jason completely changed my expectations on working with attorneys. Not only was Jason able to quickly and effectively get me out of trouble, but was also easy to talk to and helped walk me through the entire ordeal. Jason works with Real Estate professionals that are at the top of the industry, and the fact that they turn to Burris Law says a lot about the work they do. Burris Law is the only firm I’ll go to. I’d HIGHLY recommend. -Charlie Martinez, Google Review

An absolute pleasure to do business with Ariana and her colleagues. We could not have been better served updating our Family Trust. Ariana and her team are truly a Welcoming, Kind and Professional group of people. Thank you for your Help Ariana :) -Delano Melikian, Google Review

Probate is a potentially devastating fight for your family and the last thing you want to worry about as you pass from this world to the next. Burris Law will help you create an unassailable will and trust that will ensure your family is both well taken care of and harmonious after you’re no longer there to provide support.

(Special) Trust Issues

Posted by: Patrick Donovan Posted on: April 7, 2022 , , ,

As a parent, the thought of leaving your children behind in your passing is never easy. You wonder if you’ve left them with everything they’ll need to find their own success, avoid any possible catastrophes, and are able to live a happy and fulfilling life.
This goes double for the parents and guardians of people with special needs. It’s easy to spend endless waking nights wondering what will happen to your children after you’re gone, especially if they are incapable of taking care of themselves without assistance.

This is complicated further by the elimination of eligibility for your special needs children to receive government aid due to even modest inheritances after your passing. These small nest eggs may not even be able to last them a year, but they will nonetheless be ineligible for governmental assistance due to income requirements.
That’s where special needs trusts come into play. Special needs trusts act as separate entities that parcel out funds as needed after the guardian passes, so the beneficiary is able to receive the full amount of government assistance they require while being supplemented by income provided by the trust.
Special needs trusts are complicated to set up and come with a number of options that may impact the beneficiary’s future, so it’s highly recommended that you seek out a trusted special needs trust law firm that has had plenty of success in the field.
A southern California local law firm that meets these qualifications is Burris Law. The firm specializes in business and trust law, and its partners have been assisting in the drawing up and execution of trusts for decades. Just take a look at what their clients have been saying about them:

I had a consultation with Jason who was extremely thorough and helpful throughout the entire conversation. We discussed what options my parents and I have for a real estate dispute issue, and everything was explained in a digestible manner that helped us reach a decision for the next steps.
Beyond pleased with Jason, as he is knowledgable, professional, and compassionate. Definitely will be reaching out to this firm in the future and recommend to family and friends.
Also, their staff is incredibly helpful. From the intake coordinator to the paralegals– they make the process very seamless. Communication was always seamless, responsive, and quick.
Thank you all so much. – Sarah O., Yelp Review

Ariana Burris was an absolute pleasure for me and my family to work with. We interviewed three other law firms before deciding to move forward with Burris Law. Arianna helped my parents establish their trust and a few other items they wanted in place. Ultimately we chose to work with Ariana due to her experience and the values she represents. She took the time to really understand our situation and tailored her knowledge to our needs. Relationships + Solutions + Results. 10/10 great people all around at Burris Law! We highly recommend! – Ryan B., Yelp Review

If you are the parent or guardian of a special needs child or dependant, we highly recommend starting a special needs trust as soon as possible with the specialists over at Burris Law. You’ll finally be able to sleep soundly knowing that your charge will be able to live a fulfilling and happy life, even if you aren’t around to see it.

Getting Down To Business

Posted by: Patrick Donovan Posted on: August 17, 2021 , , ,

Attorneys represent somewhat of an oddity in our economic system. They’re so varied, so wildly inconsistent in quality and expertise, that those of us who manage to find a good one tend to stick with them for life.

The trick is actually finding those quality lawyers. Every street corner and billboard advertises this or that firm as being the best in the city or county, yet a cursory introductory meeting will often lead to disappointment and, even worse, a hefty bill. That’s why we do what we do here – funneling people to quality law offices that don’t cut corners and won’t leave you in the lurch with a hefty bill.

The need for a strong business law attorney is probably the least accounted for aspect of running your own company, so once you actually need one, you may find yourself scrambling looking for adequate representation. Luckily, if you’re a reader of this blog and are in the Orange County area, we have a firm we can recommend without hesitation: Burris Law.

As one of the most well respected Real Estate and Business Law firms in the state, Burris Law has seen their clients through any number of odd and difficult legal battles. Just take a look at some of the testimonials posted by satisfied clients:

I am a little late in writing this review. I would highly recommend Burris Law. I started with an attitude that did absolutely nothing for me. Causing my issue to drag on with further threats of pending troubles. I had a consultation with a second attorney who could not assist me but referred me to Burris Law. After months of worry I meet with Jason and Tim how immediately put me at ease. From day one the Burris team stood by me and believed in me. After much back and forth with opposing counsel, Jason and Tim were able to effect an amazing settlement. It hopefully will end any and all communication with the other party.
Thank you Jason and Tim along with the entire Burris team, for all of your hard work and dedication on my case. I hope I will never need you but is comforting to know if I do your team will be there for me!! – Kurt U., Yelp Review

Ariana helped my parents and I handle my parents’ end of life planning and setting up a revocable trust for their assets. The process was incredibly smooth, quick, and positive. Ariana and her staff are extremely helpful and responsive, and more than happy to answer any questions that may arise when you inevitably get overwhelmed with the amount of information that you need to understand. Ariana made it clear that we are her clients FOR LIFE.

On top of that, they run their business responsibly during COVID, with all initial meetings being handled remotely and only the signing occuring in person. We were given a timeslot and showed up in masks and were in and out quickly. Amazing experience with a lovely business. Would definitely recommend Burris Law to anyone looking for someone to manage their estate planning. THANKS ARIANA! – Rakesh J., Yelp Review

Essential Representation For Your Business

Posted by: Patrick Donovan Posted on: May 4, 2020

In the United States, the legal system can be described as analogous to the Labyrinth of Crete in Greek mythology, complete with a dangerous minotaur lurking in its midst to gobble up the unwary who traverse its twists unguided. At every step, a new turn emerges that takes you further into its inscrutable midst, and to extricate yourself without some piece of you missing, expert help is needed.

Even for businesses and their owners, the law is unwieldy and esoteric, with each state in the union and their subsidiary counties and cities having their own particularities that would take decades to unravel. If you own a business, it is absolutely necessary for you to take the proper precautions in your every day dealings and hire commercial attorneys to make sure your bases are all covered, lest the government or an unscrupulous customer decide to utilize its power against you. If you’re in southern California and need specific help from business lawyers who specialize deciphering the Orange County laws, Freedom Law recommends one of our partners in the area: Burris Law Offices.

The firm, established in 2015, has received near perfect reviews since its inception, with a rare 5-star rating on its Yelp page. With some sterling testimonials, you can come to see why we hold the law offices with such high regard. Jen J., for instance, has this to say about the firm:

Just got off a phone consultation

with Jason and I am absolutely impressed with his professionalism, honesty, and thoroughness!
Although my review is based only on one phone consultation, I wholeheartedly believe Jason and his team could properly represent me.
1. He was clear and concise about my options, left out unnecessary legal jargon so that I could really understand what my next steps were.
2. Provided options that were economically efficient and even some that would not require the use of his firm, yet would provide me with some level of protection against unwanted lawsuits.
3. Extremely personable and empathetic. I truly believe that good representation can only come from an attorney who desires to build a client relationship. And within a limited 30 minute consultation, he was able to do that (or at least begin the foundation for one) as well as giving me the proper guidance on how to move forward.
Would definitely recommend! And planning to use his firm to proceed with legal action.

In a similar vein, Louis D. further expounds upon the firm’s dedication to professionalism and thoroughness in its practice here:

I was compelled to write this review after returning to this law firm for additional services I was looking to request. TOP NOTCH professionalism the whole way through. Most importantly, an HONEST perspective and assessment given to me regarding my request. I am truly grateful to all the staff and to Ariana for all the work they’ve done to help me. I will continue to work with this f

irm, God-willing, for a very long time! Thank you all!

If you’re in need of professional assistance in navigating the overly complex legal system we have here in the United States (let’s face it, we all do), then please give Burris Law Offices a call. You’ll get grade-A service with none of the predatory hustling you’d find at other practices.

Restitution In San Diego

Posted by: Patrick Donovan Posted on: April 20, 2020 , , , ,

Personal injuries resulting from negligence, whether at the work place or on the road, are some of the most tragic and costly random events that can happen to an individual and their families. With the amount of time we spend on the road here in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, and southern California in general, we hear stories every day of how so and so was killed or injured in a car accident and they or their families were now in desperate need of an attorney.

Despite this, there’s a paucity of resources for people to find quality lawyers to help them in their dire situations – lawyers that can win their cases and show them the basic human decency they require in some of the worst times of their lives. The most exposure most people ever have are the rather untrustworthy looking advertisements on billboards they pass on the freeway, with the phrase ‘ambulance chaser’ regularly crossing their minds.

Thankfully, for us here in the greater San Diego area, there is an excellent resource for both consultation and representation in our personal injury cases – Villasenor Law Offices. Villasenor and his team have been helping people settle their disputes and navigate the purposefully treacherous insurance landscape for over 25 years, and they have the results to prove it.

Here are what some of the firm’s clients have to say about working with the law office:

Over the last 10 years, Chris Villasenor has created several contracts for my company that protect me in case a dispute with a client or contractor crops up. He has also reviewed contracts from my potential clients or partners and made recommendations on ways they needed to be revised in order to protect my best interest. Chris was also very helpful and informative when my husband & I were faced with a real estate dispute while purchasing our current home. Chris is trustworthy, professional and a great legal resource in times of need AND he’s become my attorney of choice!

I am grateful Chris and Vicky for all the hard work they did in helping with my case. I appreciated the professionalism ,the honesty and integrity this law office represented from beginning to end. Chris is very knowledgeable in the field and comes w years of experience that shows in the way he handled my case. He was patient and kind in his communications of the process I would have to navigate. I am happy w the outcome and the process. trusting someone you don’t know isn’t always easy . If I needed this type of help in the future I would seek the help of Chris and Vicky again. Thank you both!!!

Chris is an excellent attorney… Pragmatic in his approach, but also very personable. I feel I was given wise counsel in negotiating a partnership exit strategy that protected my interests in a fair and measured way. His involvement brought me a sense of confidence. He listened to what I needed, explained my obligations, and suggested a clear path to resolution. I recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

If you are in Poway, Encinitas, Carlsbad, or anywhere else in the greater San Diego area and are in need of a personal injury attorney, please give Villasenor Law Offices a call. They’re the best resource for information about your case and representation we have available.
