San Diego Estate Planning Attorney

Joel Weissler was my father’s private attorney since 10 years. He set up a irrevocable trust for him needed to qualify him for Medi-Cal. He took us through the whole process and guided us every step of the way. It actually took a short amount of time for my father to be approved for it. Joel as well wrote and published many books on estate planning and on irrevocable trust...

I definitely hit the jackpot with Joel Weissler, our elder care attorney. I had talked to him several times at length from New Jersey before I ever met or even paid him. He has helped us so much since we moved to California, from meeting us at my husband's rehab; to coming to our apartment and then giving me non-highway driving directions to his office.

— G.M.

Wow, Joel’s adeptness in asking the right questions was impressive and highly informative. It wasn’t just about the technical expertise; it was also about going the extra mile by calling me multiple times to follow up and his genuine interest to meet my family's needs that made his service exceptional.

— M. S.

Joel Weissler has been wonderful to work with. He patiently answered our numerous questions and concerns in creating our two trusts. I would highly recommend him and his team.

— A.S.

We love Joel, a very friendly guy. If you want an all business lawyer he is not for you, but if you want someone who is very very good at what they do he is the man for the job. He also takes a personal interest in you which is very nice.

— E. E.
