I had been trying to find someone who would be willing to work with my parents because they are in their 80s…Mark helped my parents with their living trust. He explained everything very clearly so that they could understand the questions he was asking. Mark was very patient with them and explained everything as they were signing all the forms. We were very pleased with how professional and kind Mark was. Thank you, Mark!!

“I went to a free seminar on Trusts/Wills that Mark was hosting at a local church… Mark did a great job explaining in detail how Trusts work and how to create one. He was super helpful, and so my husband and I decided to go ahead and create one. He is patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable, and very trustworthy! His advice was exactly what we needed. Mark was always available by phone, email, and text. I feel so at ease knowing that this important step in securing our finances for our family and our kids is done. It is such a welcome relief to know this, and we couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer than Mark Padilla.”
