Craig Baumann is an excellent attorney who helped my dad with his will and was able to work within a very tight time frame. He is very knowledgeable with wills, trusts, and the probate process and can explain legal procedures in ways that are easy to understand. He has given us great advice, and the confidence we have in him has greatly eased our minds knowing that we are in good hands. We can talk directly with him instead of having to relay messages through a receptionist, and he is very responsive to emails and voicemails. Highly recommend!

Did work on my father-in-law's estate planning and probate issues. There was a Tustin in place, and we found that his house did not make into the trust. Craig helped us work through what needed to be dobe.
