Talbot Law Group P.C. Walnut Creek Ca review signals at a glance

Matthew and the firm exemplify integrity, professionalism and honesty. They represented me as my mother’s estate was targeted by a family member. They communicated clearly both in court and directly to me, and worked tirelessly to protect my interests.I strongly recommend Talbot Law Group.

Matthew is professional, efficient and knowledgeable in probate and trust matters. I appreciate his responsiveness and experience.

I highly recommend Talbot Law Group. I can't imagine how my experience could have been any better. Emily immediately recognized that my husband's estate could be handled with a spousal petition instead of probate and she completed the process in short order. Matthew, Elizabeth, and Emily are a pleasure to work with and together they made what could have been a lengthy and painful experience completely painless for me.

This law firm keeps mailing me someone else's legal mail. They have literally never lived at my address. I've called several times to request it to stop, their secretary is just simply rude and extremely unprofessional. She's previously told me to open up the envelope and tell her what's inside and today hung up on me when you ask them to stop mailing you someone else's confidential legal documentation.

I would give 10 stars if I could. My brother & I were in a nightmare situation with a supposed reputable law firm that was handling our mothers trust. After 2+ years of incompetence & ignored phone calls we hired Talbot law firm. Mathew, Elizabeth & Emily were awesome!!! Not only did they help us clear up the mess & complete the trust, they did it in a very short period of time. They were all so nice, knowledgeable, professional & caring. I am now having them update my trust. Loosing a loved one is devastating & having a trusted firm with caring people makes all the difference.

I am just wrapping up the probate process for my father's estate and wanted to express my gratitude for this firm. Emily Nashban & Hannah Eales were responsive, professional, friendly, positive, and honest throughout this process. I entered the probate process with dread and a little bit of fear, as I don't live in CA and am not familiar with many firms in the area. They were there to answer all of my questions (there were many) and, when there was something they couldn't answer regarding one of the accounts, they pointed me in the right direction. They helped make a difficult process as easy as it could be, and it ended up being a lot less stressful than I was anticipating. Thank you!

In November of 2023, my brother passed away. It was the saddest time for my family. We were overwhelmed with grief. My brother did not have a will. We knew we needed legal assistance in sorting out my brother’s estate. In the summer of 2025, I took a chance and emailed the Talbot Law Group and briefly described our situation. I was not expecting an immediate response but Elizabeth Talbot from the firm promptly responded to my inquiry. I had a very pleasant conversation with Elizabeth. She spoke to one of the Partners at the firm on our behalf. Our case was assigned to Emily Nashban. My sister and I met with Emily virtually. Emily understood our situation, explained all the options available to us, answered all our questions and at the same time kept our expectations real. Once Emily took over our case, she meticulously managed all the necessary documents, handled the arrangements with the Probate Referee and all communications with the court, providing us timely updates along the way. She was completely transparent, which was especially important to me. I found that the Talbot Law Group staff is easy to talk to and extremely professional. Their expertise and in depth knowledge on the matter is evident. I felt confident that they were the best law group to handle our case and to recommend the appropriate option specific to our situation. Consulting with the Talbot Law Group was the best decision I’ve ever made for my family. They made what seemed to us a complicated situation an easy and smooth process. Not only they helped resolve our issue but they did it in a timely fashion. I cannot speak highly enough about the Talbot Law Group, especially Emily Nashban, who guided me throughout the entire process and answered my questions no matter how insignificant. I felt the same with Elizabeth Talbot who was always responsive to my additional inquiries. The support we received from the Talbot Law Group is priceless. Their expertise, professionalism, commitment and understanding of our needs are commendable. On behalf of my family, I want to thank the staff of the Talbot Law Group for the extraordinary support they provided us. I highly recommend them! Ermie H., Waldorf, MD

The Talbot Law Group is amazing. I reached out to them when I found myself in the position of overseeing a family trust. At the outset, I had no idea what my role entailed or how to navigate the various challenges. Everyone at Talbot Law was compassionate and helpful at every step of the way. They helped me through the process and brought the matter to a successful conclusion. I highly recommend them.

Estate planning may seem daunting, at least, it did to my husband and me. Working with Talbot and Associates helped us tackle this long-neglected but vital task. In addition to meeting with us to discuss our goals and ideas, they provided a detailed questionnaire to help us gather the needed information, as well as serve as a catalyst for discussions about our values and how to express them in the resulting trust. We had ample opportunities to review and refine the draft documents, before signing off. Later, when my husband passed away, some issues arose related to our estate. I again turned to Talbot and Associates. They advised me on the process to resolve these issues, and represented me in the necessary court proceedings. While I appreciated the timely, successful resolution of the matter, what I value even more was their patient, thoughtful assistance at an exceptionally difficult time in my life.

I brought Matthew Talbot into a personal injury case I was handling that had a probate issue that needed to be litigated. I was impressed with Matt's responsiveness and expertise. He clearly knows the ins-and-outs of estate law. I would not hesitate to retain his firm again for any kind of probate litigation matter.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Talbot Law Group to plan my will, trust, and overall estate. From the very beginning, they demonstrated the utmost professionalism and compassion, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. The team at Talbot Law Group took the time to thoroughly understand my unique needs and concerns. They patiently explained all the options available to me and answered every question I had, no matter how small. Their deep knowledge and expertise were evident, and I felt confident that my estate was in capable hands. What truly set Matthew and Elizabeth Talbot and their staff apart was their compassionate approach. Planning an estate can be an emotional and overwhelming experience, but the team handled it with sensitivity and care. They listened to my concerns and provided thoughtful advice that reflected both legal soundness and my personal values. The documents they prepared were comprehensive and meticulously detailed. They ensured that everything was tailored to my specific situation, leaving no loose ends. The peace of mind I now have, knowing that my affairs are in order, is invaluable. I highly recommend the Talbot Law Group to anyone in need of estate planning services. Their combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion is exceptional. Thank you, Matt, Elizabeth, and team, for making a daunting task manageable and for your unwavering support throughout the process.

We had a legal mess and Talbots team cleaned it up! Two deaths in family, started with one attorney who clearly was not up for the job (that atty cost us thousands of dollars and months of extra court time). By the grace of all things wonderful, we called Talbot Law and talked to Elizabeth. Within 48 hours, we had zoom call with Matthew, and hired him. Our court date was 3 weeks away, and they stepped in like they had worked on the case for months. They handled everything for us. Truly professional, courteous, responsive. It is an overused phrase, but Talbot Law is truly a team of experts in this field. Probate is hard, tedious, and long, and more so if you hire the wrong attorney. We interviewed 4 attorneys before hiring team Talbot, and I can assure you, he is hands down the BEST. This is their area of expertise and they truly are experts in handling probate. Probate is painful, but Talbot Law makes it so much easier.
