"Impressive Expertise"

When an evil stepsister tried to steal my father's estate last year, Triay Law Office in Oakland, CA, and Paul Epstein in particular, stepped in with impressive expertise to recover my Dad's property. I live over 600 miles from the East Bay Area; Triay Law kept me up to date with timely communications at every step as they moved with speed and precision to pursue recovery. Triay's investigative team ferreted out facts and activities that even opposing council was not able to discover about their client's antics, and Mr. Epstein ethically but skillfully demolished the opposing council's actions on every level. I could not be more happy with their brilliance, execution, tenacity, and the outcome. Rest assured that Triay Law Office has high integrity and is dedicated to fair play for all sides, but they have definitely proven that they are a superior law firm. I highly recommend them.

      "Knowledgeable and Caring"

      Very nice man with very good advice over the phone to me. Very Valuable in our time of crisis. Very smart and cuts to the chase. I value his expertise and he KNOWS how to make the best of time to find out things.
      He however didn't take the case because it's another county but he was sure helpful to find a good referral for us in the location needed.
      Thank you Tremendously! He sounds very caring and knowledgeable and creditable. And called me back right away.

      "Forthright and Patient"

      This is a qualified 5-star review of Attorney Charles Triay. It is qualified by the fact that our contact with him has been only one phone conversation and one hour-long meeting. We have not retained him, nor have we had any extended experience. This review addresses those two contacts and the impressions we gained through them.

      For some months, I/we have been interviewing probate/trust attorneys, wanting to find one to help us put an end to the substantial damage being done by the trustee that has been working with our family and his contractors. I'll not provide detail on the wrongdoings of this man and his his henchmen, but will say that their violations ratchet up to criminal levels. In short, they stole the estate blind, abused the power given them by the law and caused significant emotional pain to our family.

      Unfortunately, the amount of money involved is kind of in a no-man's land: too much to not care about, not enough to warrant the expense and stress of a lengthy court battle. On financial grounds alone, we would be likely to turn away from the damage done us, lick our wounds and move on with our lives. However, as we know that what this trustee and his crew did to us is a serial process that they've done to many other families (that are grieving for their losses), but will continue to do the same to untold numbers of other families. Therefore, we have been looking for an attorney who is as much or more "cause-driven" than coin-operated.

      After interviewing more attorneys than I could remember, we were close to concluding that in this domain there's no such thing as a lawyer with a conscience. Every one of them we interviewed fully acknowledged the egregiousness of the trustee's actions, but had no interest in engaging the prosecution unless they were assured of their six-figure returns. Didn't matter that they could see that this guy is a rogue practitioner who is also very highly-placed and visible in the various associations that provided credential and credibility to trustees. Didn't matter that they could likely shut this guy down and save a lot of families from being preyed upon and abused, what mattered was only - strictly only - the money.

      Charles Triay was different from our very first contact. He was forthright, patient, a good listener and gave generously of his time to help us determine appropriate action. He gave us a thoughtful consultation that was far more informing and useful to us than any of the others. And, both my wife and I had the same feeling: he's at least partially cause-directed and not entirely coin-operated. And, even after it was identified that there are several potential conflicts, including Triay's prior, casual friendship with one of the wrongdoers, Charles continued helping us determine our best course.

      We cannot vouch for or review Charles Triay's legal or litigation skills but can say that our instincts are that he's a better guy than most in his position and is someone we'd strongly recommend be interviewed for potential trust and probate legal support.
