Hi Dr. Arman, this is Patrick. Thank you so much for the praise, we truly appreciate the kind words. Of course, we remain available should you or your family need any other legal guidance...
I am really grateful for Shilpa Bhatt's help with my client. I appreciate the time that Shilpa took to explain the facets of the type of trust that my client had. I was most impressed by the depth of Shilpa's knowledge and client-centric approach.
Owner response
Hi Sonya, we truly appreciate you sharing your positive feedback with us and are happy that Shilpa was able to assist you and your client with their estate planning needs! - APEL Team
Shadi and her staff helped me immensely in dealing with my late brother’s estate over a period of almost a year and a half. Every inquiry on my behalf was handled promptly, efficiently, and courteously. In particular, they prevailed on one brokerage firm that had persistently declined my requests for information to resolve what appeared for a year to be an impasse. I am grateful to them all and would recommend their services to anyone in need of guidance in trust matters.
Owner response
Hi Mr. Cohen, we appreciate your feedback as we truly invested a lot of time and effort ensuring everything was meticulously handled and in order with your late brother's estate. We are grateful that you entrusted us with such an important responsibility. It was our privilege to assist you!
Shadi Shaffer was recommended by a friend of mine who is a partner in a large Irvine law firm, so my expectations were high. Shadi far exceeded above and way beyond those expectations! She's extremely bright, experienced, and very personable. Her office and staff are professional and helpful as well. Working with Shadi feels like you're working with a friend who genuinely cares for you and looks out for your best interest. Her experience and knowledge are amazing as well! I've already referred several friends; they all feel the same way!
Everyone was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and made our family's goals possible. Thank you doesn't seem like a strong enough word - this team was amazing and we are grateful for them.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Dean! Such a pleasure working with you!
I wanted to take a moment to express how much of a pleasure it has been working with Shadi and the APEL Team on our family's estate planning. Shadi has truly gone above and beyond in assisting both my husband and me, as well as all three of our sons, with their estate planning needs.
We are so grateful for your dedication and expertise throughout this process. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our affairs, and those of our children, are in such capable hands. We are incredibly happy to now consider you our family attorney and will not hesitate to highly recommend your services to our friends and family.

Our first meeting with Shadi Shaffer was professional, warm and informative. It was clear that she had an abundance of experience and was more than capable of helping us with our estate planning.

Equally her staff was professional and responsive to any and all communication. We would highly recommend. Shadi to any family in need of Estate and Trust Planning. She is truly passionate about what she does!!

I worked with Shadi and Taline on a very complicated probate case regarding my father who unfortunately passed away without a will or trust and they were BEYOND helpful. The case took ~2 years to resolve in-full and I cannot imagine navigating it without the help of the entire team at APC. They were excellent communicators, knowledgeable about niche parts of probate law, and worked tirelessly to get things resolved for me and my siblings. I cannot recommend them more highly!!
Owner response
Shaina, thank you for the detailed and kind review. The probate was a tough one but you were an amazing Administrator despite all its challenges. We enjoyed working with you and wish you and your family all the best, hun! Shadi & Team :)
I could not recommend this law firm more!!! Shadi Shaffer is incredible! The way she works her magic she could possibly be a magician too. Her entire staff from Taline to Carolina are all amazing! They helped my family and I during a difficult time of loss, come up with a plan and navigate difficult decisions and we could not be more grateful. We will be clients for life! Thank you!
Owner response

I had an outstanding experience working with the Asset Protection Center Law Firm and their entire team. They recently helped me set up my family trust and from start to finish, I was beyond impressed with their professionalism, compassion, and deep expertise.
