Marc is a genuinely good human being. The fact that hes an attorney is a means to an end for helping people, with empathy, and doing the right thing. My wife and I set up our family trust with him for the benefit of our new family. We feel empowered knowing weve taken this important step and having Marc guide us through the process was like having a collaborator on our team ensuring everything was done properly, thoroughly, and with the utmost care. We recommend Marc and call him a friend.

Ever since we had our first child we said we needed to assign guardians, but we never followed through. It was in the back of our minds for a 11 years and 2 more children later. Then we happened to attend a Guardianship Workshop that Marc G. Garlett was offering. After his concise explanation we realized we couldnt wait any longer to take care of such an important matter - who would take care of our children temporarily and permanently if the unexpected happened. After the workshop, we decided to continue with Marc to plan a family trust. It was the best decision we could have made for our family. The peace of mind of knowing our children will be in the hands of those we chose is very important, and knowing our assets will not go into probate is a relief.Marc is professional but also very personable. He took the time to get to know us so he can help make the best family trust. He is upfront about his costs. What he quotes at the first meeting is the actual cost without hidden fees. His staff is friendly, easy to communicate with, puts everything together, and tells you what is needed.We would highly recommend Marc.

I wanted to set up a trust after receiving an inheritance. I chose Marc and his associates after reading all the great reviews, and he and his staff are everything the reviews state and more. I went into the process having been Trustee on my parents Trusts, but not know much about setting up a trust. Marc was very thorough, and helped me set up the trust the way I wanted it, giving me excellent and informative advice that caused me to rethink some of my initial ideas. In addition to helping me set up a trust, Cali Law also helped me obtain a refund from a recalcitrant Board-and-Care after my mother passed away. Not only is Marc an excellent lawyer, he and his staff are exceptionally nice people and easy to work with. I can recommend without reservation Marc and his associates for Estate Planning and issues regarding Elder Care.

We appreciate Marcs attention to detail as he thought of so many things that we did not know about. We had no knowledge of the process, but we knew a trust was important. We trust that Marc has our best intentions in mind and feel good that we can reach out and ask for help as well at any time. He is a family man and it shows in his commitment and dedication toward protecting our family.

If you are looking for a scalable solution than Marc and his team maybe the partnership for you. Estate planning is vital and important whether one has many assets or little within the laws of California and the U.S. We felt Marc, Kathy, and Anashe did a great job helping us with our Estate Plan. Estate planning is constant and organic. We feel we will have an enduring and long lasting relationship with Marc and his team. Marc only does Estate Planning so his knowledge and focus will always be up to date and his clients will be the beneficiary of that process. If you are looking for a cheap and cookie cutter approach than this may not be suitable for many. If one is looking for quality, honesty, competence, and a long lasting relationship than Marc and his team will be a superb partner.

After attending an outstanding presentation he did at a local library, My husband and I decided to have a consultation with Marc to see what it would take to get out estate plans and our childrens guardianship in order.We had a ton of questions for Marc, and we felt that he really knew his stuff in the way he answered them with ease and authority. We were impressed with the variety of services he offered, and we thought that it would cover all the planning we had hoped to take care of, in one package. Most importantly, the vibe I got from Marc seemed genuine and that was what told my gut to trust in him to handle our affairs.In a matter of weeks, we had gathered together all the documents and information we needed and had a great outline of what we wanted to include. Marc was very good at responding to emails or phone calls in person, and we were able to lay out our trust/estate/child protection plans just as we had hoped. And before I knew it Marc handed us our final binder full of legal documents that we are confident will serve our family well in the years to come.Considering our futures, contemplating the fate of our kids upon our deaths, and the end of life decisions, well...we found it to be emotionally taxing and deeply personal. But Marcs sincerity and knowledge made him a great partner in this process, and we couldnt be more pleased.

What sets Marc apart is his ability to think out the future. Marc has excellent vision for the needs of families, especially those with young children. He is proactive in his approach, genuinely cares about the needs of his clients, and is responsive. An absolute pleasure to work with, I highly recommend Marc for estate planning and advise on small business issues.

My husband and I had been putting off our estate planning for quite some time, but after hearing Marc give a presentation at my daughter’s school, we finally stopped procrastinating. Marc and his staff were extremely professional and went above and beyond to make sure we ended up with a product that we were happy with. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us with this very important part of our lives. I feel confident that the plan we’ve put in place will fulfill our wishes when we need it to. I’m also confident that we’ve found a family lawyer for life. Thank you Marc and Kathy!

Marc is a different kind of attorney. I think hes out to give them a good name... and its working! Hes thorough, personable and professional. What he says he will do, he does. I felt safe, comfortable and confident using him for our trust and my small business. If you have been afraid of the whole legal world, as I have been, you will be pleasantly surprised!

Our family has worked with Marcs office and known him personally for a number of years. We particularly appreciate that he is always available and promptly responds whether by phone or by email, and that he is so proactive in making sure issues get addressed, often before we are even aware of them. It is great to have a personal, knowledgeable family attorney, especially as more and more services move to generic internet sites that don’t understand your specific situation. I would highly recommend Marc.
