Brian helped my wife and I setting up the living trust. We started with google research to find professional estate planning attorneys, Brian’s review stood out right away. We called several attorneys’ office, most just leaving a message to a clerk and turn around time next day, but Brian responded personally and very quickly. When we started the process, we only have vague ideas of what we want and what we like, but after first meeting, these became a very clear roadmap. When we left his office after first meeting, we felt relief that we know we are in good hands. Brian uses layman terms to help us understand those long boring legal jargons. During the documents review process, Brian is super helpful. I was sending him several questions and emails per day while we are reading along. He always responded quick and clear. He always gave us the knowledge to understand pros and cons of different choices, so we didn’t have trouble about making decisions. By the time of final signing, we walked into his office with zero confusion or concerns, we never thought that could be stressless. We highly recommend Brain for anyone’s future estate planning needs, he is a very good listener, very professional with up to date knowledge, very prompt with response in the terms normal people can understand.

Brian was recommended to us by our financial planner to create a trust, and although we had already spoken with a couple of estate planners, we are glad we went with Brian! He demystified the process for us and made creating a trust an easy as well as educational experience. He made sure we understood what trusts are and how they work, and clearly explained the various options we had that helped us greatly in our decision-making. He was quick to respond to any questions we had, and was great in sending us reminders and specific deadlines so that our trust was completed in a timely manner. In our interactions, he was always professional, courteous, patient (I ask a lot of questions!), and friendly. Even though our trust is completed, we are confident that if we were to have questions in the future, he would gladly help us.

In searching for a trust attorney on Yelp, for a friend of mine, Brian was the first one who answered his own phone. He was very open with his methods and answered all my questions. After my friend met Brian, I also decided to do our trust. It actually was easier than I thought. During the process Brian always answered his phone or if I left a message he promptly returned my call. I learned many things during this process as Brian really knows the ins and outs of trust law. His prices are also very reasonable. I am totally recommending him to all my friends and family! Don't let probate court take a huge cut of your loved ones inheritance.

Brian Qualls helped us settle our estate matters in an emergency situation. Within two weeks he had our Living Trusts and all pertinent documents prepared and back to us for signatures. Now, this impressed us so much we gave his name to some of our friends, some of whom called Brian for their Estate questions.

Brian not only impressed us with his expeditiousness, his knowledge of Estate Laws and relatable subjects, left us at ease with the work he performed for us.

As an aside, I worked in law firms for 37 years and am quite familiar with the inner workings of them. Brian Qualls Law Firm, from what I saw of his interview process, document delivery/explanation, signatures and notarization of finalized documents, proved how absolutely organized his office is and the ingenious way he’s set things up. As a Legal Assistant, I am very impressed. He does not waste time!

I have been planning to have a living trust for several years. I found Brian’s website on line. I really wanted to find a lawyer who was specialized in living trusts and wills.
My husband and I are happy to have chosen Brian. He has made us feel welcome, and he is knowledgeable about the law. Brian made it easy to go through understanding the law and filling up the paperwork. He has two offices: One in Pleasanton and one in San Jose.
We have our living trust now. I wanted to add that Brian makes the process personable, which is a plus. We recommend him highly.

Before finding Brian, we interviewed another lawyer to plan our family trust. After the initial meeting, we were left with a ton of reading and paperwork to tackle. Feeling overwhelmed, we dropped the whole thing. A couple years later, with our 2nd child on the way, and knowing the importance, we picked things up again. This time, we found Brian on Yelp.

Brian’s approach was completely different and we liked him immediately on the first meeting. He was patient and professional, and also extremely thorough. He educated us, and walked us through all the complicated questions he needed answered without making us feel pressured or uncomfortable. He also took care of most of the paper work, and for the rest, he spoon fed it to us so that we wouldn’t be overwhelmed. He made this process extremely painless and took care of all the details.

We feel very fortunate to have found Brian and we feel absolutely confident in the quality of the work that Brian has provided. And we have since recommended him to friends and family and everyone raves. We recommend Brian without any hesitation!

My husband and I have been planning on putting together a living trust for several years. I interviewed several attorneys and selected Brian. Why? He is honest, ethical, personable and made everything extremely clear. Our personal financial situation is pretty complex and Brian’s expertise allowed him to simplify the complexities of our living trust. I have referred him to many people and highly recommend you contact him when organizing your living trust.

Qualls Law Firm helped my husband and I with the restatement of our living trust. It had been a while since we updated our trust, and the laws have changed, so it was time. Brian was very responsive, extremely easy to work with, and the whole process was quick and pain free. We are very relieved to have our trust completely up to date, and we can move on with empty nesting knowing that our estate and our family will be taken care of. We highly recommend Brian Qualls Law Firm!

After contacting numerous attorneys, Qualls Law Firm stood out as the best. Brian contacted me personally within the hour, inquiring about my needs, making recommendations and scheduling a free at home consultation that weekend. At our initial meeting, Brian spent a couple of hours assessing my situation, answered all of my questions, provided sound legal advice and prepared my estate planning documentation. Given my personal situation, I was able to continue to contact Brian via texts, who continued to provide sound advice. He treats his clients like family and I will recommend Qualls Law Firm to everyone I know.

Brian set up wills for my wife and me, and he made sure that the entire experience was seamless and hassle free. He was extremely professional and promptly responded to all of our questions and requests. He provided assurance that all of our needs were being met and didn’t pressure us for additional services beyond what we were comfortable with. Now that we’re done with setting up the will, we feel secure in having a strong estate plan in place. We highly recommend him and look forward to continue working with him for our future estate planning needs.

We worked with Brian on our wills (a few years ago) and recently worked with him to setup our trust. Brian took the time to educate us on the details / features of trusts and was very responsive to our questions. I highly recommend Qualls Law Firm.

Brian was recommended to us by our financial advisor to help us with our estate and trust planning. He is based in Pleasanton but it was easy to schedule to meet with him in his San Mateo office. He was very approachable, professional, and helped educate us on trusts and what our options were. He also went beyond estate planning by also helping with adoption paperwork. He was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him.

We needed to update our Living Trust, which was first compiled 18 years ago. We wanted to make several changes. Brian made the process easy, understandable, orderly, and surprisingly enjoyable. He welcomed our questions and answered them clearly. He was professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. It’s a wonderful relief to know that our “affairs are in order” in this unpredictable world and that we can call or meet with Brian with any additional questions or updates in the future, should our circumstances change.

I had such a great experience with Brian! Before I came to Brian, I thought about estate planning for a year prior to meeting him but never acted on it. Having a living trust was just a lingering thought. Whenever I got on a plane or did something adventurous the thought of unplanned mishaps bothered more often then I imagined. Even worst I had no estate plans. I finally went online and searched for a nearby attorney so I google "Trust Fund Attorney". This brought me to a few lawyers and I browsed their websites. I requested a few appointments online and Brian emailed not long after to set up a consultation meeting two days later. I met with Brian and he was very professional. The first question he ask me, besides how I was doing, was "my reason for starting a living trust and what I was looking to accomplish". I told him everything I had in mind, he wrote down every detail and was EXTREMELY engaged. I knew I wasn't paying him for his time but he didn't mind answering all my questions, he even took the time to explain them thoroughly and gave me great suggestions. After answering all the 100+ questions I had, he then told me the cost and did not request a retaining fee. I was shocked that he did not want a retaining fee (like most lawyers I've dealt with) but was most concerned about whether this was the typed of service I was expecting and was looking for. I knew that I was going to hire Brian to execute my documents because how professional, HONEST, sincere, helpful, and patient of a character he showed during our meeting. After meeting Brian I didn't look into any other lawyers. After leaving his office feeling confident, Brian kept me in the loop during the trust draft and ask if there were any last minute changes I would like to make or add anything additional. What a detailed oriented person! I finally got my living trust completed and I feel accomplished! Now I can get on a plane or go to hang gliding class and feel at eased! THANK YOU BRIAN for helping me through this process and making it a stress free experience. I hope whom ever reads this will really consider Brian because he is a QUALITY person and lawyer.

Brian was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. I would explain to him what I had in mind and he knew exactly how to make it happen. My husband and I learned so much from him. We feel very comfortable knowing that our trust was done exactly the way we wanted. We had done a trust many years ago and that lawyer never took the time to explain or really hear what I wanted. He collected a huge sum and that was it. Brian on the other hand will take all the time necessary to hear what his client is saying and what the client wants. Very reasonable rate also. We would highly recommend Brian to anyone that is interested in setting up a Living Trust. We cannot say enough of how fortunate we were to have chosen Brain to do our Living Trust.

He Is highly recommended and if we need to revise our trust in the future we would definitely want his help again!
