Law Office of Lauren Rios - Redwood City, California

I highly recommend the services of Lauren Rios. I restated my Living Trust with Lauren five years after drafting the original, and I found her to be both meticulous and patient in ensuring all my assets were properly incorporated. She was always available to answer my questions and provided thoughtful guidance throughout the process.

One instance that stood out was when Lauren carefully reviewed the beneficiary designations on my non-retirement accounts. At first, I was surprised by her request for details, but I soon realized I had overlooked adding the Trust as a beneficiary to a bank CD I had opened after the original Living Trust was created. Her thorough approach not only caught this oversight but also reinforced the importance of maintaining consistency in estate planning. Throughout the process, Lauren remained patient and understanding, never making me feel judged for the lapse but instead guiding me toward the necessary corrections with clarity and professionalism.

She was also highly conscientious, going the extra mile to make photocopies of my Advance Health Care Directive and HIPAA Authorizations so I could easily provide them to my medical providers. Since I was scheduled to visit my primary care provider, delivering these documents was seamless, and they are now properly scanned into my medical records.

Looking back, I am deeply grateful for the decision to restate my Living Trust with Lauren. There were several aspects of estate planning I had not considered at the time, and thanks to her diligence, I now feel confident that my executor will be able to carry out my wishes effectively when the time comes.

Lauren was a beacon of support for my mom and our family during an incredibly challenging and time-sensitive period. In the midst of our distress, she went beyond just professionalism—she was empathetic, thoughtful, and deeply committed to ensuring that my mom received the best possible care. When we encountered issues with another attorney, Lauren guided us through fixing a mistake, even when she wasn’t obligated to do so. Her kindness and dedication have left us immensely grateful. Thanks to Lauren, my mom now has a Trust, providing our family with peace of mind for the future. Thank you, Lauren!

My wife and I were looking for a trust attorney and were referred to Lauren by good friends who had worked with her on their trust. We were very pleased with Lauren's thoroughness throughout the process and for making the whole topic understandable for a lay-person. She is very organized and communicates regularly and clearly. She was also very understanding when we changed our minds on various decisions, and revisited some items multiple times. Lauren also suggested that we consider estate planning for our children who are over 18. She worked with our kids to capture their wishes in wills, powers of attorney and health care directives. All in all, Lauren did an excellent job for our family and will be returning to her in the years ahead for updates to our trust. Thank you Lauren!

It had been about 20 years since I first had a trust and will produced. I wanted to find a local estate planning attorney, and a friend referred me to Lauren. I’m so happy for that referral because Lauren was the best choice I could have hoped for.
Knowledgeable, thorough, detail-oriented, professional, and very pleasant to work with, Lauren is an excellent communicator and quite patient in explaining details.
I also appreciated that she took the initiative to provide recommendations to issues I hadn’t considered. She produced a high-quality and well organized estate planning portfolio, including easy-to-follow instructions on how to manage my estate. Her fee was reasonable and in the end I feel I received a great value. I would highly recommend Lauren for anyone considering estate planning.
