“I don’t know what other people do who don’t hire Pook!  After my dad died 15 years ago to recently having to put my mom in a care facility, she has expertly guided me through all aspects of these transitions with advice about, trusts, financials and tax questions.  She is razor sharp, a fierce advocate, and hardworking.  But most importantly she is always kind in her approach to these difficult matters and she never makes me feel ignorant—both rare qualities in the legal field.”   

– Lucy S., Los Angeles,  CA

“All I can say is if you need the best, call Jessica Keating! The moment you talk with Ms. Keating, you feel comfortable and know you chose the right person. She’s polite and compassionate.  I felt like I had a guardian who really saw me as a real person with a real life, not just another client. 

More importantly, she’s extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She promptly answered every question I had and went above and beyond with my case. I trust her more than any other attorney I have met. Grateful!”

“Hi Pook,

I know it’s been a few years.  But I wanted to give you an update on Jack “Debbie” Thompson [a transgender individual]. I was going through some of Dad’s things this morning and thought of you. You helped my brother, Roger, with an Emergency Guardianship for our dad Jack “Debbie” Thompson in 2020.  This was a very complicated situation involving high emotions, multiple states, and a vulnerable person who was attempting to contest the guardianship. During the height of COVID, with your help, Dad’s attorney agreed to get Dad safely discharged from the hospital and eventually move to a care facility near to family on the west coast. Dad passed away last week, 5/1/23.  All his kids got the chance to visit and say goodbye. The care facility really treated Dad as an individual. Dad was transgender and they helped him/her dress in chosen preferred feminine clothing, do up her hair, and put on makeup.  Dad looked forward to when her favorite caregiver, Mike, would paint her nails. Thanks again for your assistance in making this happen.  Your insight and advocacy really make a big difference.”
