Singh Law Group P.C. (Law Offices of Tony J. Tyre) - Living Trusts & Probate

If there was an option to rate Dave Singh from Succession Legal lower than one star, it would be more than justified based on my utterly disappointing experience. From the outset, Dave and his firm's handling of our probate case have been fraught with miscommunication, broken promises, and a sheer lack of professionalism that has exacerbated an already difficult process. Initially, we were misled about the estate valuation process. Despite having an appraisal valuing the property at $900k, following my father's death during a home remodel, the estate was inexplicably valued over $1.45m, a figure that bafflingly ignores the condition of the property at the time of death. Dave's explanation of valuation based on equity rather than appraisal led to a profound misunderstanding and substantial financial repercussions. Further, Dave Singh's advice led us to believe that the duration of the probate process would not affect the valuation of our property, a statement that proved grossly inaccurate and cost us over $20,000 more than anticipated. This financial shock was compounded by Dave's decision to send an invoice directly to our escrow officer without prior consultation, a move that not only blindsided us but also solidified our decision to sever ties with his services. Throughout this ordeal, our access to critical information and necessary resources, such as the probate referee, was inexplicably withheld until it was too late to make informed decisions. Additionally, the firm's handling of our financial obligations was haphazard at best, exemplified by a surprise $3700 bill from the county assessor—a bill that could have been mitigated had the firm been proactive in its communications with us. The lack of transparency extended to the firm's invoicing practices as well. Despite meticulous tracking of minor expenses, there was a glaring absence of accountability for the hours spent on our case. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the firm's fiscal responsibility and the value of the services provided. Moreover, Dave's insistence on payment for unfinished work, despite the clear absence of any contractual obligation to do so at this stage, has added unnecessary stress to an already strained situation. This approach not only reflects poorly on his professional integrity but also on his understanding of client care and the ethical responsibilities of a legal practitioner. In conclusion, our experience with Dave Singh and Succession Legal has been nothing short of a nightmare. The firm's failure to adhere to agreed-upon terms, coupled with a pattern of miscommunication and negligence, has not only resulted in significant financial loss but also in immense emotional distress for my family and me. The decision to seek alternative representation and to hold Dave accountable for his actions is not taken lightly, but it is a necessary step to ensure the fair and competent resolution of our probate case. Avoid at all costs.

We had a business opportunity to consider and decided it would be a good idea to seek legal counsel. Dave Singh was recommended by our accountant so we scheduled a consultation to discuss our options. Dave has a professional yet friendly demeanor, and we immediately felt at ease with him. He listened attentively and offered a wealth of information without pressure to retain him. We would not hesitate to call on him again for legal advice; Dave has our highest recommendation as a business attorney.

For someone like myself who is clueless, and had no idea where to start with planning for my elderly mother's future, Dave and his entire team at Succession Legal made it easier than ever! The process was extremely simple, and any and all questions were answered clearly. Setting up a Trust, or planning an Estate, or anything legal for that matter, can be extremely intimidating for someone if they are unfamiliar with the process. Dave and his team made my mother and I feel at ease, comfortable, and educated us about everything along the way. My mother and I feel a huge sense of relief and comfort, knowing that her future is mapped out the way that she wants it to be, and we are extremely confident with everything we setup. Again, all questions answered clearly, and Dave and his whole team have been with us, every step of the way. They made sure we understood everything, gave us plenty of different options to choose from, and we had no hesitation in setting up our Trust. This is by far, the easiest, most painless legal experience we have ever had, and I cannot thank Dave and his team enough for the care that they provided us with. From start to finish, and even afterwards, making sure that they are available to us for any concerns we have in the future, they are making sure that we are taken care of, all the way through. Special thanks to Cindy and Jasmine for taking their time to meet with my mother and I, and ensuring our level of confidence in Succession Legal. Thank you so much Dave and team! I already have more family members that are looking forward to working with you!

I referred one of my clients to Dave and this is the feedback I received. “Dave was great!” “He was willing to listen and then offered the best option for my needs. Never tried to sell or offer any additional services that weren’t necessary. This is the sign of a great attorney and most importantly a person who cares about his clients. I would not hesitate to refer Dave and his team.”

SLG is a great estate planning firm and one I would highly recommend to anyone seeking out such services. Mr. Singh and his staff are clearly an outstanding group of individuals who are knowledgeable, patient, intelligent, and friendly. They made my life so much easier with their expertise. When I needed a lawyer for my estate planning, Mr. Singh provided me with lots of great information and prepared all of my documentation with zero strain for me. I have full trust and confidence in Mr. Singh and his team at SLG in their commitment to taking care of me and anyone else seeking to secure a promising future for themselves and their families.
