Estate Attorneys with Hearts of Gold
“A GOOD ESTATE PLAN is a gift to your family,” says Rebecca of Goldfarb & Luu. Whether you’re starting a family or planning for your grown children, Rebecca and her law partner, Dinh Luu, offer comprehensive and compassionate estate planning and elder law services.
People often hire Goldfarb & Luu to update their estate plans written by other attorneys. “Ninety-seven percent of the estate plans we review have a fatal flaw that the client has no idea about. This leads to unnecessary expenses and stress,” says Rebecca. “Our work helps to ensure you won’t go to court or waste money on lawyers!” In addition to a thorough grasp of the law, the team will go above and beyond to do what is necessary to protect their clients’ interests.
The firm offers a flat-fee estate planning package that starts at about $5700-$6200 and includes lifetime maintenance meetings and support. “Every five years (or sooner if needed) we offer a maintenance meeting to be sure everything is up-to-date,” Rebecca states.
Rebecca and Dinh have clients for life and take that responsibility seriously. “Our clients are like family,” smiles Rebecca. “I know we’ve done our job when they tell us that they finally have peace of mind.”

The owner of K.M. Management, Inc. referred me to them after I had explained my situation. She said, “You need a very strong and understanding boutique firm and this is was absolutely the one!! ”Goldfarb & Luu handled everything with the utmost compassion, experience, and professionalism. I worked with both Rebecca and Dinh and they were both phenomenal at explaining the law, sharing case experiences while being gentle, yet firm which allowed us to come up with a quick resolution without all expensive court costs and mental stress that goes along with it. The entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with.

I was unhappy with the people who had worked on our estate in the past, so when I saw that Rebecca Goldfarb was coming to our local library to talk, we went down to hear her. We loved Rebecca’s presentation. She was friendly, yet totally professional. We made an appointment at her office and met Dinh Luu who was also wonderful. They revised our estate plan and I feel like we now have all the bases covered. Next we had Goldfarb & Luu work on my parents’ estates. I'm totally thrilled with Dinh. She made recommendations that made it clear she was looking out for my parents’ interests, not anyone else's. I would highly recommend them. Everything is upfront and honest, presented so you know where you stand. I love them!

Rebecca and I met volunteering for some great causes in Topanga Canyon, including helping a local senior organization. When Rebecca held a senior estate-planning seminar about the importance of having a well-prepared will, I realized I needed to review my own will and family trust that had been drawn up in 1998 using a very high-powered, expensive Los Angeles law firm. Rebecca and Dinh looked over my current estate plan and found some things not well clarified in my will and some missed tax deduction opportunities in my trust. Naturally, I chose this time to go with Goldfarb & Luu to re-write them both. Rebecca and Dinh were able to give me a lot of one-on-one, personalized attention that had been missing from the larger law firm. They created other vital legal documents, such as an advanced health care directive and HIPAA release that was tailor-made to my specific wishes. They created a durable power of attorney for my finances in the event I am not able to take care of myself. Estate planning is not just about what happens when you pass on, it's also about the journey of how best you get through life. Goldfarb & Luu paid attention to the whole picture, dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's, and they focused on what was important to me, and my family. Not only are Rebecca and Dinh intelligent and resourceful attorneys, they are just really cool ladies. They're very personable, easy going and genuine. They have a true, dedicated spirit to helping people that transcends into their work. They don't just speak about it---they LIVE it. I feel they know who I am, what I want, and what my needs are—even more than I do. I am grateful to have found them.

Five years ago when my mother passed away, I realized that I really needed to plan my estate so that when my time comes my kids can easily figure out what to do. My parents had it together – I was devastated and it made it easier for me to just follow the trust to know what they wanted. My brother is an attorney and he had found Goldfarb & Luu. Their pricing is very fair—of course nothing that is really worthwhile is cheap. You want someone who knows their business and will take care of you and stand by you when the time comes. Rebecca and Dinh made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. They asked all the questions and clarified the answers. It was so nice to have someone else drill down and figure out what is what and make sure everything is clear and in the trust. If I ever had questions they would always get back to me either by phone or email. They put it all together in a beautiful binder. I respect Rebecca and Dinh. They both work so hard. And it’s difficult because they are dealing with issues around people’s death, but they are always so upbeat! It is such a relief to have my trust done. Now everything is written down and my kids don't have to fight about anything or make any hard decisions. It’s all nailed down.

Rebecca is a wonderful person who puts her heart into her job to make sure she does it right and does all that she can for her community. Rebecca and Dinh are both solid people with a work ethic that is beyond comparison. What sets Goldfarb & Luu apart is not only that they guide you through the process of creating a trust, but that they stay with you. I appreciate the way they check in to keep everything updated and I know that they will be with me for life.

Rebecca Goldfarb is the BEST! She has lead the ship from soup to nuts for our latest round of estate planning and has made something that was very emotional and difficult to talk about feel easy. Rebecca is always there for us and is prompt to respond to our queries. Her answers are very intelligent. She brings a lot of insight to the table and is smart, personable, kind and supportive. She never disappoints. Estate planning can be a very sensitive subject and Rebecca has a knack for keeping it simple and not making it overly complex. We've been very impressed.

I've been working with Dinh and Rebecca going on four years to manage my aunt's estate. They have been wonderful, have always kept in touch, answered my e-mails and have never left me feeling alone. They have helped me through each little crisis that has come up. They are honest, supportive, give you the right answers and are there for you with anything you need. I am so pleased that I've been able to get connected with Goldfarb & Luu. It's been very successful. I will be using them for another family member, too.

I've worked with Goldfarb & Luu for nearly a decade and they are one of the only Estate Planning firms I confidently and consistently refer clients to. I've used them personally for my own family estate plan and find them to be competent, personable, and caring. Rebecca and Dinh function beautifully as a team. Both Dinh and Rebecca are well-versed on the ins and outs of estate law. I'm constantly impressed by their ability to elegantly and seamlessly leverage one another's strengths to deliver value to their clients. In my experience, many firms simply produce boiler-plate documents and solutions without regard for the complexities or uniqueness of the client's situation. I really appreciate that Dinh and Rebecca sit down for an in-depth conversation to see what is possible and appropriate for each client. Further, I believe they have a special talent for unpacking what is most important for their clients so that each client can make informed decisions. Over the course of my career, I've met hundreds of estate planning attorneys and Dinh and Rebecca are truly at the top of their field. In my opinion, the value they provide far outweighs the cost of service. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest Goldfarb & Luu for individuals and families who value the qualities of both a boutique, high-touch firm, and the legal solutions of a large-firm.
