I am seeking an attorney familiar with California escrow laws and practices. I utilized Upwork to hire a freelancer, for the expressed reason that they had an escrow process to protect delivering money before the work was done. They also had an arbitration process and both of these failed. I paid Upwork over $6,000 and received nothing. The work was supposed to be a technology mobile application and was supposed to be completed by August 2019. The damages because of their mishandling has exceeded over $500,000.

estate planning attorneys.
Everyone in California has an estate. An estate is all that you own by definition, which includes all land, cars, jewelry, stocks, and assets. Though easy in principle, what happens when you die? Who's going to receive your assets?
This is where it comes to an estate plan. An estate plan, which contains legal documents that contain guidance, helps you to provide for the future of your family upon your death.
This process of preparation can be a daunting, mental, and stressful one. Although it's best to consult with a California estate planning lawyer to ensure that all problems are properly handled and sound decisions are made about your proposal, this guide highlights what a California estate planning lawyer can do for you.
A California estate planning attorney, also known as an estate law attorney or probate attorney, assists with the process of estate planning by writing down the wishes for disability and death.
This counsel will understand the right documentation to use and will propose alternatives to ensure that your objectives are properly carried out.
In addition, an attorney for estate law would have knowledge of state and federal laws that may influence how your estate is inventoried, valued, distributed, and taxed upon your death and will inform you adequately if that happens regarding the probate process.
