Maya was excellent, so helpful and communicative. She took all my calls and was available at a moment’s notice. My family can rest easy knowing Maya was able to assist us when we needed it. We highly recommend her and will keep Maya in mind should we need her help in the future.

My husband and I recently used Maya to completely redo our estate trust and other documents. She was referred to us as an attorney who has elder care law background as we are in our 70's.
We had two meetings with her and a few emails to clarify the contents of the documents.
The process was fairly easy with her guidance and took only about 4-5 weeks. We enjoyed her professionalism and personal touch to our needs.
We have also recommended her to two other friends.
We're very satisfied and glad we choose her as our estate attorney. We are relieved to know our documents are all updated and reflect our current wishes.

My parents used Ratner and Pinchman years ago and it was a very positive experience. Fast forward to now and I hired Maya to update my family trust and all accompanying documents. It was a great experience and she totally understood the very involved dynamic with Special Needs Trusts and all the aspects of estate planning! Down to the patio furniture!! We crafted a solid estate plan from scratch and I was presented a binder all easy for the Executor to handle. I would highly recommend them. My daughter is a lawyer in LA and she said "Mom you picked a good one". Very thorough, very professional.

Maya helped my husband and I update our family trust. She is an expert in special needs trusts and was able to guide us through what was needed to be sure our special needs kiddo is set up for the future. She listens well and explains options thoroughly. We recommend her!

There aren't enough superlatives in the English language to describe the dedication, time, expertise, perseverance -- and especially patience -- that Maya Pinchman gave me when it became necessary to apply for Medi-Cal at the height of the pandemic. I had just lost my job of over 30 years and was then diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition that impacted my mobility as well as extra costs for drugs, procedures, physicians, etc. I guess when it rains it pours. But, Maya was there not only with a shielding umbrella, but also managed to bring out the sunshine as well. A finer attorney you won't find anywhere and I couldn't be more grateful she was there. I would recommend her to anyone needing the services her firm provides. THE best!

My parents recently worked with Maya to establish an estate plan. From the first conversation, she took the time to listen and thoroughly explain every aspect of the process. Maya created a revocable trust, power of attorney, advanced healthcare directive, and HIPAA release, ensuring they understood each document and its purpose. Her clear communication, patience, and efficiency made a potentially overwhelming process feel completely manageable. We highly recommend Maya for anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate estate planning assistance.

Great experience in creating a living trust and estate plan. Recently diagnosed with health issues and with no estate plan in place, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Maya Pinchman immediately explained the process, put me at ease and completed the assignment in a very timely manner. I will be ever grateful for her patience and expertise.

I would highly recommend Ratner and Pinchman if you want to receive friendly, accessible and professional legal service(s).
