I hired Peter Vittas to handle the probate for my dad’s estate CA estate. I called a few lawyers on a Saturday and he responded right away. Others got back to me on Monday. From day one he set expectations, thoroughly explained the process along with timing. He was very professional, promptly responded to every one of my calls, texts and emails. I would recommend Peter to anyone needing a probate attorney.

Peter Vittas is our Go To Guy for Trust and Estate Planning. He made the process so easy and efficient for us. Everything was done online and he held our hands every step of the way. He is very thorough and professional with attention to detail. This was my first time doing this and I expected to be sitting in a lawyer’s office for hours with the billing clock running. Not with Peter! I am a retired computer consultant and I appreciate having a proven process to drive complex problems to satisfactory conclusions and that’s how Peter does it.

I would definitely recommend Peter. I was the Trustee of one of my best friend's Trust, but there were issues with the retirement accounts not being recognized by a major investment firm in the Trust. Peter helped me go through the unduly arduous process of CA probate court and appealing to the investment firm to get the funds released for the beneficiaries. He not only kept me updated on the process, he went out of his way to call the courts and the staffers to make sure all the docs were in line for each step, so we didn't get bounced and have to repeat the process. He was personally vested in my case. Thanks!

Peter was excellent. He did my trust, will, power of attorney, and advance directive. He is knowledgeable and professional. I was fortunate to find him. Thanks you Peter

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically bill at $300/hr. For estate planning, I typically charge a flat fee. For probate of a decedent's will or estate, the fee for an attorney is set by California law based on a percentage of the value of the estate (see Probate Code section 10810).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initial phone consultation and preliminary review of documents is FREE. Then I let the client know what I think needs to be done, how long that will take, and give an estimate of the cost if the client chooses to use my services.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, Louisiana magna cum laude in the top 15% of my class in May 2010. I passed the California bar on my first attempt and was admitted to practice law in California in November 2010. I have been practicing here in California ever since, and a majority of my practice has focused on probate law. This includes trust and estate litigation, probate of Decedent's will or estate, trust administration, and estate planning.
