Kent did a thorough job of preparing our family trust. He took the time to personally explain the process, prepare the documentation and review each document with us prior to signing. Kent is the consummate professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering legal work for estate planning.

Kent was very helpful in understanding the employee and employer relationship. He is highly thoughtful and considerate with the needs of his client. I appreciate the level of discussion we had. It helped me to be more clear on what can be done under the California law regarding my employees and business relationships.

We just had our estate plan done with attorney Kent W. Keating. My husband and I had put it off for many years, it was always one of those things on our list of things to do. After learning about what can happen if we didn't have our estate plan or Wills, we decided to finally get it done. I contacted Mr. Keating and he walked us through the process. He explained every step to us and in a way that was easy to understand. Having our Wills and advanced directives now has given us so much peace of mind. I highly recommend everyone have their estate plan done and I highly recommend the Law Offices
