Patinelli & Chang, LLP

I had the pleasure of working with John Chang, partner at Patinelli & Chang, to update our trust and discuss estate planning. I couldn’t be more satisfied and recommend him. Why? John was incredibly responsive—answering all my questions promptly and thoroughly. His explanations were clear, easy to understand, and always delivered with professionalism and care. Navigating decisions affecting a revocable trust or issues related to the passing of a loved one can be overwhelming, but he made the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate legal guidance.

We established our Family Trust approximately fifteen years ago through a referral from our friends. Recently, we required updates on certain documents for our adult children. John facilitated this process efficiently, providing us with comprehensive information on estate and inheritance laws and introducing us to digital legal documents. When our elderly parents’ estate lawyer passed away, we recognized the need for an understanding and trustworthy attorney to represent them. Given my parents’ suspicious nature, I initially hesitated to transfer their documents to anyone. However, we right away thought of John Chang. He readily accepted the challenge, responded promptly, and addressed our concerns regarding their complex estate in a manner that made the process harmonious amongst the entire family. We have consulted with several lawyers, and John consistently demonstrates his helpfulness and conciseness in his recommendations. His professional yet supportive approach during challenging events solidified his position as our primary recommendation for estate lawyers. Highly recommend John Chang!

I recently had my estate planning completed by Pantinelli and Chang and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. As a retired single mother of two, this process was very important to me. John made everything clear, organized, and reassuring from start to finish. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer every question I had without ever making me feel rushed. In addition, John helped me understand all my options and guided me through decisions that I had put off for years. The entire process felt smooth, respectful, and thorough. I now have complete peace of mind knowing everything is set up properly for my family’s future. I highly recommend Patinni and Chang services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional estate planning team.

John has been great to work with the past 6 years. John not only was quick to respond to my calls and emails; he didn't drag needed answers and guidance out for months collecting on each and every contact we made. Really appreciate our growing working relationship, highly recommended.

I had my Trust revised with Patinelli & Chang recently. I worked with John Chang who was recommended by my brother Sam. John was very through and flexible with our time as we were on vacation. He explained everything he did and had all paperwork and a thumb drive for us. Cost was very reasonable for the work involved. I suggest you ask him because every Trust is different. John was very patient and answered all our questions. I heartily recommend him.

I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience with John Chang. I worked with him from the other side of the country to help my father with his living trust. John is super responsive, walked our family through each step of the process, and has the legal knowledge and experience to make the process painless. I highly recommend John!

John Chang and the team at Patinelli & Chang have been a pleasure to work with. Our father passed away and as as non residents of the US the probate system and processes were unknown to us. John took us through the whole process and arranged every detail on our behalf. Without him it would have been so much harder (if maybe impossible even). Thank you John and thank you Patinelli & Chang, we cannot recommend you highly enough.
