I needed some advice on a complex family issue and William Hayes was kind enough to talk it through with me for free. He is thoughtful, generous and not just out to make a buck. He gave me some great advice, even when it meant I didnt end up needing his services for my issue! When I am ready to set up my estate he is who I will be calling.

I had a very productive consultation call with Attny Bill Hayes to discuss my loved ones estate details following their passing. He was immediately helpful in walking me through key information about the overall process and my specific circumstances. He was both professional and warm, illustrating his thorough approach, while bringing the human element to our conversation. While I am still determining my legal support needed, I would highly recommend you speak with him when exploring estate related attorneys.

Extremely disappointed with The Hayes Law Firm due to their lack of communication and transparency. Despite numerous follow-up emails and phone calls, I received no response regarding a case I was involved in as a third party. Additionally, I never received any formal written notification which is required by the probate process. The only information I obtained was through the LA County Superior Court website, where I had to purchase the documents myself. Upon reviewing some of the documents, I discovered that they falsely claimed that notifications were mailed to my agent and me, which we never received. While I understand that I am not a client, I expected the decency of a timely response and for mandated probate procedures to be properly followed.Moreover, although I am not an expert in probate, I observed that their team handled the case inefficiently, both in terms of cost and time. As the buyer, this inefficiency did not directly impact me since I was not in a rush to close escrow, but it certainly added unnecessary costs to the estate. When it came to the confirmation hearing, no one from their firm physically appeared in court, and their attorney called in seeming disorganized at times as he answered several questions incorrectly, which was embarrassing for his client.While the firm may be capable of handling general estate planning and straightforward cases, I would advise seeking counsel elsewhere for complex probate litigation issues.

Extremely Kind and Knowledgeable.I had a few questions about various kinds of family trust. I called two attorneys and did not get much help, at least not in the detail I was looking for. Luckily, I came across Mr. Hayes’ website and gave them a call. They were kind enough to set up a phone conference with Mr. Hayes. During our phone conversation, Attorney Hayes was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and more than willing to take the time to answer my questions in detail. I was thoroughly impressed by his helpfulness. He did not try to lure me into an unnecessary legal procedure. He informed me that our current trust, which another attorney had prepared, was sufficient for our purposes, and we did not need to hire him. If I must modify or create a new trust, or any legal issues within Mr. Hayes’ sphere of expertise, I have peace of mind that I have found the right attorney.Thank you Mr. Hayes,Rob Thomas

This review is long overdue. My father is old school and he never gave estate planning much thought. After years of my siblings begging him to get his things in order and get a living trust he started to consider it. One evening he attended an estate planning seminar that Mr. Hayes was hosting. I remember him calling me telling me to get over there that he wanted me to attend as well, he was enthusiastic I do not use that word lightly as my father is never enthusiastic when it comes to having to shell out money, but he was excited to sit down with Mr. Hayes. He’s told me on numerous occasions that it is the best money he has spent. Mr. Hayes aka Bill is such a wonderful man with such a great aura surrounding him you instantly feel in great hands and he treats you like a close friend or even family while making sure that all your estate planning needs are met. It is a privilege to be able to recommend Bill and I do so with full confidence.

I recently spoke with Mr. Hayes regarding a potential probate issue. I did not have a telephone appointment and had never met or spoken with Mr. Hayes before. Mr. Hayes was a referral from a very reliable person. I was able to speak with him and I asked several specific questions. Mr. Hayes was patient, precise, professional and polite. The assistance he provided helped me to make a clear decision about my situation. I highly recommend his service.Thank you Mr. Hayes…..

I appreciate the quality, effectiveness And transparency of Mr. Hayes and his team. Talking with Mr Hayes and working with his office is a pleasure. Very organized, dates, details, and next steps planned. This is very important so that there is no guess work. Mr. Hayes was very patient in answering all our questions with my mother and I as we worked through the details. I felt like he listened and showed interests in my mother’s family estate planning. Everyone is very responsive when I have questions. We are still in the planning stages but am very pleased with the experience and service.

I found Hayes Law Firm through a Google search in the summer of 2020. My husband and I needed to create a trust because I had a rental property purchased prior to marriage that I wanted create very specific instructions for in our will. Hayes Law Firm was the most responsive firm that I contacted and said they can do what I was requesting. I loved that they have a free web seminar available prior to paying for their services. It is a good sign when a professional invests time and resources to educate others. I could also tell that Bill Hayes has a lot of experience and enjoys what he does. The entire process was so easy; just one or two phone sessions and a signing in person. When we had some questions recently he was happy to schedule a free appointment and provide some guidance. Our husband and I will to continue to work with the Hayes Law Firm for our estate planning in the future.
