Kris helped us create our trust and is also doing an LLC for my husband. She is so trustworthy and I respect her as an attorney. She is our go-to attorney now. Lawyers can be really expensive, but Kris was so reasonable so we did the trust. She followed through with everything she said she would do, on time. She was really clear about explaining everything to us. She would answer any questions we had and if she didn’t know the answer right then, she would do the research and get back to us. She comes to your house, which is really great for people like us with young children. She takes her job and client confidentiality seriously. We will have to make changes to our trust as our situation changes and Kris is always available for that. I have referred her to other people on several occasions.

Kris set up our will and family trust for us. She did a phenomenal job for a considerably low price. The amount of information and knowledge she shared was incredible and it all went smoothly. She is personable, courteous and totally professional. Her communication skills are impeccable. She returned our questioning calls immediately. She had a great comfortable rapport with us and I felt she was genuinely concerned about us. She stills checks in with me by email. She knows our needs and is on always top of it!

I’m very happy with what Kris did for us. I feel that she could relate to our needs because she is a mother, too. We needed an estate plan, and we loved that she came to our house! She worked around our schedules so that my husband and I could be home together to do this with her. She is accessible, convenient and flexible with her time. We weren’t sure how to go about this and she walked us through the process. With her advice we came up with what worked best for us. Her pricing is very competitive and she worked with our budget, even allowing us to make payments. She was always on time, very professional and she presented us with an organized binder at the end.

My husband and I have been married for 30 years and our children are grown. We have never had a will or living trust. I put it off because I work in the music industry at a motion picture studio and I just do not have a lot of spare time. Kris set up an appointment and came to our house. She’s worth gold, for that alone! She explained everything; walked us through the entire process. She told us about tax ramifications and wills versus living trusts. She explained all our choices and then gave us homework, so when she came back again, we were prepared with deeds, investments and everything else we would need to finish the process. We asked some of friends what to expect the pricing to be. Kris was quite a bit under our friend’s fees, for the same work. One friend even paid two thirds more than we did. With Kris, the fees are very clear. I think, all told, we had 12 plus billable hours, and she explained it all so thoroughly, there was no shock to the pocketbook. She presented us with a binder, all printed up. Our children have her card and can contact her anytime. She will check back with us every three years, in case anything has changed. I’ve recommended her to some of my friends, telling them it is not as bad as you would think it would be. Dealing with difficult end of life issues that we don’t always want to think about is hard, but Kris takes this mundane, yet intense experience and makes it feel so personal. It was a fabulous process. She’s good! We feel really safe!

I have a young child and Kris made our family trust experience very convenient for us. She is very accommodating, accessible and easy to understand. She came to our home for an hour the first time, then she came back for a few hours to finish. We had some follow-up emails, too. She is extremely knowledgeable and spends a lot of time explaining everything clearly. My husband and I are both attorneys and we shopped around. Kris’s price was the best. We are very satisfied.

Kris helped me put together a will and a living trust. This is what her specialty is, day in and day out. She went over everything I would need ahead of time and warned that this process could be difficult. This is a touchy subject. Her manner is calm and matter of fact. She kept me focused and made it feel easy. She had me get some information before she came to my house, explaining it clearly so it made sense, and told me ahead of time how long the process would take. She was right on! Her flat fee, based on my needs, was extremely fair and cost effective. Kris Paden is knowledgeable, informative and very thorough.

Kris Paden is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She did our living trust and was very easy to talk to—open and patient. She gave us a questionnaire to get us to start thinking. Everything was very well laid out and she provided us with different options. She was exactly what we were looking for in an estate attorney. When she showed up at the house, she was prepared and respectful of our time. She even already had some papers notarized for us. I was impressed with her evaluation of our options. We first connected by email, then by phone. She only had to come to the house once for a few hours to finalize everything. She and her staff are extremely responsive; she gave us valuable insights and is technologically savvy. Because she is young, she’ll still be around if I have any questions in five or ten years. That’s important to me.


- Howard K., Granada Hills

Kris did a will, a trust and an estate plan for us. She answered all my questions, step by step, and because I work during the day, she came to my house in the evenings,. She gave us good advice, letting us know the various possible results of our choices. I am going to have her update the estate plan to accommodate our second child. Kris Paden is approachable, easy to work with and available in person, by phone and email. And she offered me a payment plan! She’s awesome!


- Lisa C., West Hills

Kris worked up a living trust for our family. She is, without a doubt, the most thorough and complete, integrity-based attorney I’ve ever worked with! Just an amazing quality person, all the way! Her price is more than fair and she was willing to negotiate with us, to make us comfortable. There is no comparison in the quality of her work to others. With Kris, I felt trust and certainty.
