Curtis & Burnight - Seal Beach, California

Tom Hermstad

I’ve had the privilege of working with Greg Burnight for an impressive 30 years, both in my corporate endeavors and for personal legal matters. Greg stands out as one of the most knowledgeable and personable lawyers I’ve ever encountered. His commitment to doing things the right way is unwavering, and it’s evident in every interaction.

What truly sets Greg apart is his ability to build strong relationships with his clients. I’ve referred several high-end clients to him, and without fail, they’ve returned with heartfelt gratitude for the excellent service they received. One client even went the extra mile, bringing me a bottle of wine as a thank-you gesture!

Contrary to a one-star review I came across, Greg’s expertise in trusts and their proper formulation and execution is exceptional. His back office staff, with whom he has collaborated for over two decades, is equally outstanding.

If you’re seeking a no-nonsense legal professional with impeccable knowledge and excellent communication skills, look no further than Greg Burnight. He’s the man you want in your corner when it comes to some of the most important work you can do to secure your future.

Not a person who writes reviews, but I felt this experience was worth mentioning for anyone in need of exceptional service, professionalism and expertise. Greg Burnight and his staff thoroughly executed every detail involved in a post death trust administration. I was informed of what was needed early on and what to expect throughout the various stages...no surprises, ever. The client service and all interactions were very impressive from the outset, at a time when many people are still recovering from a loss. I am very grateful for the way this entire process was handled.

I have worked with Greg for several years. And several of my clients have used Greg. He is very knowledgeable and attentive to his clients. If you need help with a trust or probate, Greg is the man.

Run from this Burnight lawyer!

I was going to have him do a super easy deed transfer for me. Turns out he basically knew zero about the new prop19 laws and special exception forms you need to fill out to avoid reassessment. Doing simple investigating by myself, a call to the Assessors Office and I found out my property assessment is not changing.
This lawyer charged me HUGE just to call and do an inquiry about doing my deed. HE DID NOT TELL ME HE WAS BILLING ME FOR A BASIC CALL INQUIRY. Very very unethical.
On top of charging for a phone call, he begged me to come in for a free consolation. I basically found out this guy knows zero about current Deed Transfer Laws and wanted to play games with lien searches and charge me monster money for just the consolation with ZERO retainer signed yet.

DO NOT GO TO THIS LAWYER FOR ANYTHING PERTAINING TO DEEDS AND TRUSTS. He way overcharges and would take way too long.

I found another great lawyer that will do the deed transfer, living trust and healthcare directive for around 600 in just 2-3 days. Burnight wanted over 4000-6000 for just the one new deed.

Mr. Burnight was very attentive to our needs and desires as we updated our trust due to our children becoming legal adults. Very thorough in review of our situation, provided very good guidance and suggestions. I highly recommend.

Waste of money! Didn't do a thing for me to protect my interests or uncover illegally hidden assets. It felt as if i had no representation at all.
