Estate Planning Reviews
These reviews highlight the exceptional service and expertise of Anna C. Howard, a living trust lawyer, and her team at AC Howard Law firm. The reviewers praise Anna's knowledge, transparency, professionalism, and friendly demeanor.
Positive Reviews
The reviewers describe Anna's process as easy and painless, making a complex and involved process manageable. They appreciate her attention to detail, commitment to ensuring their wishes are accurately reflected in the trust, and her willingness to explain the details of estate planning. Several reviewers have already given Anna's name to friends and family members, recommending her services without hesitation.
Negative Review
However, one reviewer had a very different experience with Anna. They filed a complaint with the California BAR, accusing Anna of being unprofessional, incompetent, and costly. They claim that Anna's lack of knowledge of California real estate and foreclosure laws resulted in them losing a home and being stuck with significant costs.
Incompetence and Lack of Knowledge
The negative reviewer describes Anna's unresponsiveness, use of template letters, and refusal to engage in civil conversation. They also accuse Anna of not understanding basic real estate laws, including a recent law passed in 2021 that allows eligible bidders to purchase a home at a trustee sale. The reviewer strongly advises against hiring Anna, warning that she could cost clients valuable time and money.
