A living trust created by a competent attorney is key to financial security and rightful transfer of property to your loved ones. Living trust is the most popular option among people to transfer their hard-earned assets to their trusted heirs. If you choose to take this route, make sure that you have a trusted attorney to guide you through the way.
Do you want to manage your assets on your terms or want to let the state decide the fate of your property? If you want to remain on the top of things, then estate planning is critical. It allows you to pass on your assets as per your wishes to the people you love. In simple terms, estate planning is the creation of an exhaustive plan to not only manage your estate while you are alive, but also distributing it after your death.
A qualified probate attorney can offer peace to a family coming out of the loss of a loved one. At George Derieg's law firm, you will find a helping hand that will guide you through the probate process, one simple step at a time. Probate is the legal process that is followed to distribute the assets of a deceased person among their legally identified heirs.
When you are going through the probate process, it is all but necessary to have a qualified lawyer to consult. A professional will make sure that you have all the necessary documents, the forms are properly filled, and the proof of claims are all presented in the most appropriate manner. Without a competent attorney to assist, the probate process can become quite stressful, pretty quickly.

Mr. Derieg is a fabulous attorney: smart; hardworking; &, best of all, honest. Lots of civil attorneys have minimal actual courtroom litigation experience, but this guy has done lots of trials and isn't scared to go to trial. If you have a probate, trust or other legal issue, I'd highly recommend consulting with and hiring Mr. Derieg.

George was extremely kind & patient with my Mom and me as we drew up her will & living trust. George turned a stressful experience into an easy one. His expertise came in handy later on when dealing with probate court in these times of Covid too!

Mr. Derieg was incredibly professional and very very knowledgeable (caught something my original Attorney had not). I was also very impressed with how honest his billing was, honest lawyer I’ve ever dealt with. I really much appreciated how helpful Mr Derieg was in my family’s difficult time.

Honestly deserves zero stars. As a public defender, George tricked me as a 19 year old kid to sign off on my rights to confront my accuser which cost me 10 years of my life when the judge could've dismissed the charges. Crooked business. He played for other team and took vacations during my case. Solano county people v honor 2009

George has been nothing but compassionate, kind and reliable. He is helping us navigate a very emotional legal decision and it feels so good to know we are in such competent hands.
He is prompt in his communication and willing to really listen. He is also efficient and goes the extra mile in making sure we have all the correct information. Thank you George!
UPDATE: George made the process of our legal journey smooth and solid, reassuring us every step of the way. Thanks for bringing all of it to a successful completion for us George!

I've hired lots of attorneys and over all they have been business oriented rather than client oriented. George is the opposite. Although he is completely professional, he also displays an authentic interest in his clients. He listens. He shows concern. He is kind and friendly. And his work is beyond reproach. I heartily recommend him.

I have worked as an attorney in the same firm as Mr. Derieg. He is an excellent advocate and litigator for his clients. He fights when there needs to be a fight and not afraid of trial. He is extensive experience in the courtroom and gives 110 percent for each of his clients.

George was very helpful when I reached out to him about taking care of my dad's estate. As a teacher taking care of this alone, I didn't have much information about the process. George invited me to his office for a quick overview of how to best move forward with the will, accounts, and Medicare. He was friendly, knowledgable and very approachable. I highly recommend and am truly grateful for his consultation.

I had a conversation with George Derieg today, about some issues regarding a Trust, and I found him to be insightful and helpful.

He listened well, and had good advice for me.
There are a lot of issues that need to dealt with in the distribution of a Trust, and George helped explain some basic issues that I need to work through.

My practice is in Beverly Hills, CA, but I rely on George's probate expertise on a regular basis. He is a thoroughly competent professional who is always more than willing to offer advice, counsel, and strategy on case management and proper courtroom procedure. Mr. Dereig is also very understanding about client communication and always returns his calls promptly.

There's a reason this guy is offering a yelp deal. What kind of lawyer offers yelp deals??

Found Mr. Derieg through MetLaw, since I had a plan through my work there. Contacted him about a legal matter on a Wed, and we made an appointment to meet in person on Friday. Friday comes and he calls as I'm getting into the car to tell me that he has to run to San Jose, but will call me after he's done. at 4:30pm I give up waiting and call him for a short conversation. We agree to talk again in the afternoon on Monday. I call Monday and leave a message which is not responded to. I call again

From our initial consultation to the day in court, George demonstrated his knowledge and know-how, giving me the confidence and assurance that all would be OK.

As planned, on the day of the hearing, it went just as foreseen by Atty. Derieg. It was almost like he foretold the outcome thru a magic ball. It was an incredible experience!

Many thanks to Atty. Derieg! Our family appreciates his honest and candid advice and opinions!

If ever you're looking for a confident and knowledge attorney, I recommend George Derieg! Hands down.

George Derieg brings an unexpected and unusal but certainly very welcome element to the field of law - the human touch. He is compassionate, caring, and considerate, unlike the typical lawylerly sterotype.
