EXCELLENT LEGAL WORK! TEN STARS! Kathy is very knowledgeable and explained the process that I had to go through clearly and in a way that I can understand. She also answered all of my questions thoroughly whenever I emailed her or spoke with her. I followed her instructions and it made all the difference. I don't know what I would have done without Kathy and LA Law Center!

Kathy is an exceptional force of nature. She and her team helped guide me through complications that I found myself in the middle of while helping my elderly parent. With her many years of elder law experience she cuts through the nonsense and gets to the heart of the matter. My family is grateful for all of the guidance from LA Law Center.

Found on Yelp, thank you all for that. A job we had been putting off for years. Joseph and Kathy helped us get things done fast and efficiently. Explaining things clearly and concisely: things we had little or no idea about. We thought the price was fair for the service and result. Within two weeks we now have a binder with all our legals done and dusted. And bought a FIRE PROOF safe to house it. Such a weight off. Totally recommended. And Zach who worked behind the scenes was friendly, diligent and efficient. All in all an unexpectedly happy experience!

I got into a mild accident recently.
I got some whiplash and woke up with headaches a couple days later. I had the person who hit me’s insurance information, but I knew I needed a lawyer as well.
I called around some other firms, but they didn’t return my calls or didn’t think it was that important to take on.
I saw LA Law Firm on Google while searching. I inquired over email and they called me that day, taking time to listen to my situation. They took time to get to know me and wanted me to feel welcome.
We’re still in the consultation phase. There is a case it turns out, and they

If I could give 10 Star I would!!!LA Law Center made it so easy! We explained our circumstances and that we needed it done very quickly. Setting up a consultation was incredibly convenient and flexible. Kathy explained the process, what was needed and price was incredibly fair and reasonable! Kathy went above and beyond for me and my family even coming out to my mothers home to have her sign and explain all the paperwork since she was unable to walk. I would highly recommend Kathy and her team! We could not have done it with out her. We are forever grateful to her and her team! Thank you Kathy

In Southern California where the majority of lawyers appear to be Predators as opposed really caring about people, Joe and Kathy are the rare exception. Even when I needed help with things that were not under the scope of what they handle generally, they both went above and beyond the Call of Duty to give me time for free to help me. This is so rare in Southern California and our country today that I have to give them a review here and let people know that you're in the hands of exceptional caring and competent rare humans when you reach out to them.

I have been looking far and wide for a reasonable probate service. If you've ever done this, you'll know it's a cesspool out there, I just couldn't believe the amount of money most of these attorneys were asking for filing probate and the type of service I was getting. I finally found Lisa, not only did she save me from being ripped off, she kept me from getting in trouble with the court proceeding, she was clear with her guidance and gave me useful advice for handling my probate case. Seriously, you guys are special!! Thank you!!

I cannot recommend Kathy and Diana at L. A. Law Center more strongly! They did an Irrevocable Trust and a MediCal application for my 92 year old mother. Kathy walked me through the trust process, and made it easy. I received the completed document in a folder that was so organized and easy to follow. My banker even commented that the presentation was the nicest he had ever seen. And, Diana was awesome taking me through the MediCal process. She was on top of everything, every step of the way. These two women were so outstanding... and really smart. Every time I had a question, they were always easy

I specialize in probate & trust real estate and have sold over 500 estates, consequently, I deal with many trust and estate attorneys. Joseph is an estate planning attorney that truly stands out. He and his team at LA Law Center provide excellent advice for resolving difficult and complex issues. We are happy to give Joseph McHugh our highest recommendation.

LA Law Center provides the highest quality professional service in the field of elder law. My father had only a hand written will. Joe got a will written, set up a living trust, and made sure I had the documents to take care of my father medically and financially as he aged. When my father passed at age 96, LA Law helped us with the remaining trust issues. Joe Kathy, and Marianna all provided knowledgeable and friendly service. All phone calls were answered, appointments were easily arranged, and problems solved. Their help saved my sanity in the last years of my father's life and upon his passing

Thank you to everyone at LA Law Center. After a quick consultation, their firm assisted my family every step of the way to get my parents approved for Medi-Cal quickly.
We came in with so many questions and had no idea what to do but their team gave us every confidence and has always been patient with handling our needs and concerns. Kathy, Joe, Diana and Lisa have always been responsive and available whenever I had an inquiry.
I have since recommended their firm to many of my friends who are in similar situations with their elderly relatives. I can't thank everyone at LA Law Center enough

My wife and I drove 1 1/2 hours to meet with Joseph McHugh regarding setting up a trust for our family. We met with him in an open office, with open doors, discussing our confidential matters. His office was more like a telemarketers room than a lawyers with staff listening in on our entire conversation. After supplying him with copies of our sensitive documents, he committed to getting back to us the following week & setting up our family trust within 2 weeks. However, he never called us back. Additionally, he never returned any of the eight messages we left for he and his staff. In our opinion
