An Exceptional Experience Is Our #1 Goal

What some have to say about Beach Cities Estate Law....

  • Dolores E. – Estate Planning
    Angela has prepared and updated our Wills and Trusts for the last 10 years. She knows the law and uses it to our best advantage. We are a blended family and she presented us with reasonable options for dividing our estate fairly. At final review and signing she took the time to thoroughly explain the documents. We think so highly of her.
    Dolores E. – Estate Planning
  • Richard and Cindy S. Estate Planning
    We recently competed a Family Trust with Angela and we were thrilled with the result. Angela and her team helped make the process very simple and clear, but more than that, she listened to our needs and helped us set up a plan that is absolutely perfect for us. We couldn’t be happier with the advice, support and expertise we received from Angela and her entire team.
    Richard and Cindy S. Estate Planning
  • Erin P. Estate Planning
    Angela is thorough and looked at our estate from all angles. She asked the tough questions that we hadn’t addressed (or didn’t want to), and she got the job done when she said she would. We rest assured that everything will be taken care of according to our wishes.

  • Bill S – Trust Administration
    We used Angela Klenk to handle the estate of my father-in-law, based on a recommendation from some close family friends. Angela and her staff were very professional, accessible and easy to work with as we dealt with her long distance most of the time because we live in Chicago. She handled all the issues that came up and provided very good advice while still being sensitive and reasonable in terms of billing. We would use her again and recommend her to others.
    Bill S – Trust Administration
  • Daniela L. – Trust Administration
    My step-mother chose Angela Klenk to draw up her trust. Since her passing, Angela has been a God-send. Trusts, estates, money and family can get very complicated. Angela helped us understand how this all works with patience and complete professionalism. I would recommend her to anybody in need of a honest, compassionate, and hard-working trust attorney.
    Daniela L. – Trust Administration
  • Cathy S. – Beneficiary Representation
    We first retained Angela, when she helped us navigate issues that developed with my parents trust. We loved working with her and then retained her to set up our own trust. She was professional, honest and took the time to explain what options were available We were so pleased, my husband, who is a CPA, recommended her to several of his clients. We could not praise all of Angela’s wonderful attributes not only as an attorney, but as a person enough
