Mr. Brooks' service was excellent. He spent time to adequately answer all our questions and his fees were very fair. Apart from being on top of his work and his words, he compartmentalized what we needed to know and had simplified our complex matter. We appreciate him for following through what he set out to accomplish, even with additional tasks. As for now, we rest content and we'll be sure to follow up in the near future. Many thanks Zev.

Zev went out of his way to make time to meet with my family off normal business hours, and was extremely patient working through all the details of our family's situation. He was thorough, efficient and very friendly. We look forward to working with him in the future.

Without a reference for a trust attorney, I jumped online and started a search based on reviews. Zev was the fourth attorney I spoke to, and not only was his fee straight-forward and competitive, but he was easily the most responsive.

The entire process was very straight-forward, and made so much easier by the fact that all three meetings take place at your home. He's extremely patient and willing to answer questions, and communicated via text and email, as well as the phone in between visits whenever needed.

So happy that I went with Zev, and couldn't recommend him enough!

Zev was an awesome estate/will planning attorney. He was easy to reach, got things done in a timely fashion , was very thorough and organized and made himself available to meet at your convenience as I was in LA and he, in the OC. He is affordable and trust worthy. He came to me as a referral and am so glad everything worked out so smoothly. Highly recommend.

Zev helped us to make a trust. He is great and we will definitely work with him in future for any other needs. He showed up on-time, explained everything well and he brought everything to our house. Overall he made the job very easy for us. Thank you!

When I was thinking about doing my Trust and Health Care Directive, I consulted with a friend of mine, who told me about his experience with Mr. Zev Brooks. He came highly regarded, as my friend does his research on everything prior to doing any type of business deal. I am happy that I chose to have Mr. Brooks help me with something that is very personal, and perhaps considered an, "uneasy" task. I found him very responsive, punctual, professional, and easy to deal with. Any time I had a question, I would text him and he would respond almost right away, answering my question(s), and/or putting me at ease while reading over the rough draft of the Trust that he prepared for me. He made things very convenient for me, as we met at my office each time we had documents to go over. After meeting twice, the third time we met, we finalized the paperwork and he brought his Notary, which was also very professional and courteous. All of my dealings were done at my office - during business hours, so I didn't really have a lot of time to spend, and they knew that and made things very fast for me, while making sure I understood everything as well.

I am very happy that I chose to do business with Mr. Brooks. I have already recommended him to a few of my friends, and family.

Very impressive... knowledgeable, patient, and thorough...a true gift to find such a capable lawyer with an admirable balance of legal expertise, common sense, and empathy. Mr. Brooks will come to my house several times and efficiently guided me through what was, to me, a confusing maze of Wills, trusts, Health directive, and other document in a timely fashion and cost effective solutions. Zev Brooks has my highest recommendation. Yes! Cost is absolutely reasonable than other legal firm's quote.

Zev was very professional. He delivered all that was agreed to for a reasonable flat amount. Although he is in South Orange County and we are in the Inland Empire, he came to our home to meet with us. Subsequently we went to OC to finalize and sign all the docs. He answered all of our questions and clarified the points of the trust. He was always responsive and I would highly recommend him.

Zev is such a wonderful attorney...he just completed our Living Trust with ease and comfort right in our home! He charges a flat fee which covers 3 visits, culminating in a sturdy hard-bound binder and recorded what was needed with our condo association and instructions for recording on our homeowners' policy. Coming from out of state, drawing up a Living Trust was confusing; Zev navigated us seamlessly thru the process, delivered final binder quickly, and brought the required notary public with him to finalize the document. On top of all this, Zev's flat fee cannot be beat! Zev is the best...highly recommend him!!

Zev really helped my family achieve our goals. He was patient during this process and walked us through every step. Zev kept great communication with us and we were never in the dark about what was going on. I recommend him 100% for your legal needs.

I recently work with Zev, to create an individual trust. Zev provided practical advice, provided understandable information, and included some clauses I did not think of, but were appropriate. He was as per his word, for example, worked within my deadlines and location, punctual to meetings and completed/followed up on open items. I recommend Zev Brooks.

Zev helped us update our trust, durable powers of attorney and wills. He came to our house and couldn’t have made the process easier or more streamlined. He is extremely knowledgeable and efficient and without him we probably never would have gotten this done! Highly recommend his services !

Zev was amazing and very professional. He helped My Mom and I set up her Trust. He was very patient with both of us and listened to our concerns. He made the whole process so easy and we felt very confident in Him.
Thank Zev for helping My Mom feel at ease about her Trust. I would highly recommend Zev.

Many years ago, I retired as multi-licensed fee only financial planner. Over the years, so did my trusted lawyers. Zev was recommended to me. My wife and I gave him a good "stress test" :-) with two "projects" so far and found Zev to be honest, knowledgeable, and very professional. I seldom give reviews, but, Zev really earned this one.

Zev quoted me a price to update my existing living trust, which was very reasonable, met with my wife and I in our home and we got everything updated in about 45 days. Zev was very patient in explaining all the legalize in the trust and I feel comfortable the trust is exactly what we wanted to accomplish. I highly recommend Zev if you are looking at any estate or trust planning. Zev is very professional and and meets his commitments.

I have really appreciated my time with Zev Brooks: he created a living trust for me. His rates are highly competitive (I checked with multiple lawyers), and he really tries to make it easy. He came to my house, we worked out details: he even had a notary with him for signatures! It was all so simple. Zev is extremely knowledgeable as well. Definite a five stars guy.

I recently retained Zev Brooks and found him to be honest, through, helpful, and punctual. He is patient and answered ALL my questions. I was not sure how to handle a situation and Zev offered suggestions, and they turned out to be exactly what I needed. I would not hesitate to retain him again. He was recommended to me, and now I recommend him to you.

Sincerely

G Proctor

Zev Brooks recently prepared a trust for our family. We relocated to California and wanted a trust prepared before we left on a trip. Zev came to our home on three occasions, which is his procedure, and it was very convenient for us to have all meetings at our home. He even brought a notary to witness our signatures on the final documents. Zev changed the house deed title to the name of the trust and took care of filing the paperwork for us. Zev worked within our short timeframe. He is pleasant and spends a lot of time explaining all of the legalese associated with the trust. We recommend him highly.

We are so pleased with the service Zev gave us. We had put off creating a trust for years (mostly out of laziness) and every time we traveled I would be a nervous wreck worrying about something happening and not having anything set up for our 4 kids & wives and 8 grandkids. When we read a great review on Zev Brooks, my husband called and set up the first appointment. (We really loved that he came to our house each time.) He was so easy to work with, very professional and very good at alleviating all our fears. He made things very clear, easy to understand and we are totally happy with our completed trust! We highly recommend him.Thanks a million to Zev Brooks. Elizabeth and Dan

Zev was recommended to us by another of his clients. We needed to get our estate plan in place, and Zev set up a trust, will, and advance health care directives for us. He came to our home in several visits to do all the work, and explained the whole process thoroughly as we went. Zev is vey personable and pleasant to work with. His fee is reasonable and competitive. We highly recommend Zev.

We've had a superlative experience with Zev Brooks. We wanted to update our wills and trust documents, and were attracted to Zev's expertise and his very user-friendly professional services. He made the process hassle-free for us, and his smart approach to minimizing overhead produces very reasonable pricing. Zev's expertise and affinity for the work are obvious, and he is a truly wonderful, honest, enjoyable person. We are entirely happy with the documents and plans that he created for us, and with the process. He exceeded our expectations, delivered exactly what we wanted, and was incredibly easy and nice to work with. We are confident that our affairs are in the best possible hands, and we feel blessed to have found him. Zev has our enthusiastic highest recommendation.

Found Zev on Yelp and after reading such good reviews, called him as we needed a trust/will, health care directives, and a post-nup agreement. And just as the other reviewers said, we are 100% happy with the results.

Zev comes out to you (which is so convenient) and thoroughly explains everything you need to know and walks you through the process. He is personable and easy to work with.

While thinking of the worst case scenario is not always fun, we now have everything we need in the event of something, and know our son will be taken care of and that he won't have to go through all the cost/expense of probate. Most importantly, we know that what we want to happen will happen.

I have already recommended him to a neighbor and would call him again if we need legal services in the future.

Zev is a fantastic attorney, knowledgeable, highly skilled, and very compassionate! It is very comforting to work with someone so capable and caring. He had created trusts for 2 family members a few years back, and was easily accessible and responsive when we needed to make some recent revisions. I would highly recommend him without any reservations!
