John |
Trustee
"Keystone is a very well-run and efficient company."

“When my mom passed away, I unexpectedly had issues with my sibling regarding my mother’s trust. I was referred to Keystone Law Group. First off, everyone you work with is smart, professional and nice. Response time was always quick and efficient. My lawyer Monica was incredibly smart, organized and easy to talk to about my concerns.”

Claire |
Beneficiary
"Hila handled the matter with purposeful research, timely communication and sincere compassion."

“Hila diligently researched my questions regarding contesting the trust. She contacted the estate planner and secured the receipt of amendments one-four of the trust straightaway. She acquired requested real estate reports, which painted a picture of the remaining assets due to the fact there was no schedule of assets. The combination of these efforts laid a foundation upon which to decide to contest or not.

Ms. Golchet was prompt in her communication and followed through daily with the discussed tasks. Hila welcomed client input as to which direction to pursue, but also displayed her expertise in directing me to pertinent information. She communicated by email and phone daily regarding newly acquired information – many times in the evening after traditional work hours.

However, most impressive was the compassion with which Hila conducted our conversations. Potentially contesting a trust, necessitates exposing personal information. Hila was adept at teasing out information that would productively contribute to a solid contest of the trust, while graciously listening to difficult life events.”
