00:03
so there are several qualities that make
00:05
Lola group different from other law
00:07
firms the first of those is that trusts
00:10
and estates are all we do we don’t
00:13
handle normally anything like real
00:15
estate matters or corporate matters
00:16
anything that involves the probate court
00:18
or estate planning or assets of a
00:21
decedent those are things we focus on
00:23
and we specialize in that the State Bar
00:26
of California has made me a specialist
00:29
in estate planning and probate matters
00:31
so that’s sort of our first focus is
00:34
that we are we are an extremely focused
00:35
law firm that’s what differentiates us
00:37
second we’re a small firm where all of
00:41
our attorneys have come from larger law
00:43
firms where they receive training from
00:45
the top lawyers in the world we’ve also
00:47
come from top law schools like the
00:49
University of California Berkeley
00:51
Stanford University of California
00:52
Hastings so we bring to our small firm a
00:55
big firm practice but with a lot of more
00:58
hand-holding and client attention than
01:00
you might get at a large firm finally we
01:03
also handle cases on what’s called a
01:05
contingency basis we’ll often take on a
01:07
case where a client can’t afford to pass
01:09
up front and so what we agree is that we
01:12
will take the case to trial if necessary
01:14
or try to resolve it and whatever the
01:16
firm recovers for the client the firm
01:18
will keep a percentage of that many
01:20
large firms won’t do that because of the
01:22
risk or because they might not get paid
01:24
but that’s something that gives us
01:25
flexibility to help clients who might
01:27
not not otherwise have the resources to
01:29
go to trial
01:35
so in the state of California the State
01:38
Board of Legal Specialization appoints
01:40
certain attorneys as specialists in
01:42
trust probate and estate law and we are
01:45
one of those firms and that includes
01:47
only 3% of all estate planning attorneys
01:50
in the state of California and only 0.5%
01:53
or 1/2 of 1% of all attorneys in
01:56
California are specialists so knowing
01:59
that someone’s a specialist should give
02:01
our clients the reassurance that we are
02:04
up-to-date on the law concerning trusts
02:07
in the states that any new changes in
02:09
trust in the states are things we become
02:11
aware of and advise our clients of and
02:13
finally what’s most unusual about the
02:15
firm is that we’re estates and trusts
02:16
specialists who are also trial attorneys
02:19
that’s extremely rare there are almost
02:21
no attorneys in the state of California
02:24
who primarily practice in courtrooms but
02:26
also are specialists in trusts in the
02:28
States certainly those are some of the
02:30
qualities that a client should look for
02:32
in finding the best trust in a state
02:34
attorney for their situation
