Mr. Goralka could tell right away right away that I was lost in the legal world and he was extremly sympathetic and encouraging. Everyone told me from the start that I couldn't win this difficult case, but he never gave up, and did win it. I consider him to be a "Super Hero"

John Goralka is an excellent lawyer. He was highly recommended by my business partner and he met all my expectations. I met Mr. Goralka when he was doing an Estate Planning presentation to a community group in the East Sacramento area. John has assisted me in completing my Estate Planning and Trust. His staff was very professional, efficient, friendly, and promt at making last minute changes on my trust. I would highly recommend John Goralka to all my family and friends.

A family friend found John here on Avvo and asked him if he would discuss a matter for me involving my CA family trust. His assistant promptly scheduled a call and John was exactly the right person for us to consult. I ended up needing to pursue action in another state so John's firm ultimately was not the firm I needed. We told John we would gladly pay him for this time and trouble. I am a recent widow, and John insisted that it was his pleasure to look at the matter and refused to send a bill. I would recommend John in the future for people looking for a lawyer in Sacramento.

I have known John Goralka for almost 10 years, when he helped me with a tricky international sale of business assets involving intellectual property. A few years ago, my wife and I remembered he also did trust work, and contacted him again. It turned out that he's known as one of the experts and innovators in the trust field, and helped create a very flexible family trust for us. He and his staff are very professional and do high quality work, and have our complete confidence.

Mr. Goralka and his staff were excellent in executing my Revocable Trust which included my will, advance health care directive my health care choices, authorization for release of medical information, general durable power of attorney for personal care, three certification of trust agreement, general transfer, authorization for cremation & request for final services & disposition of remains. Everything was explained in a way that you could understand. I would highly recommend John Goralka & his staff.

I was in need to update my previous living trust and was looking for a reputable law firm to update it. I was directed to contact the John Goralka Law Firm. In doing so, I was informed by the law office staff that a seminar was coming up soon. I decided to attend the seminar and was so glad I did. Right after the seminar, I felt there was no need for me to continue looking for another law firm. I set up an appointment to see John. Everything went well and right on time. I would like to say that, John and the staff are very professional. Whenever I called the office, the staff was very helpful in answering my questions, and very pleasant. I sincerely recommend the John Goralka Law Firm to everyone. Raquel Contra Costa, California

First hired John Goralka for help on my parents trust resolution that was not going smoothly. Thru his knowledge and precise work, the case finally came to a fair completion, and we have worked with him on our own personal affairs since. He and his staff are great and very professional. We have recommended his service to several people and they are also very satisfied.

Having reviewed Mr. Goralka's profile on Avvo we took the option to attend his free seminar at his office and we weren't disappointed. The staff was great and Mr. Goralka's presentation and information was extremely helpful in helping us to determine our next course of action; which was we had him update our current Living Trust. Mr. Goralka has refined the process which made gathering documents easy, communicating with the office staff was quick and efficient, and any of our questions were quickly answered with concise information that was so easy to understand. When we went through the signing of all our new documents, again the process was smooth, easy to understand, and the staff was really great to work with. Look forward to sitting down with them again in 3 years for our free trust review which is just absolutely great.

John updated our living trust and wrote a special needs trust for our adult disabled son. It should be noted our case was unusually difficult and complex. We were exceptionally satisfied with his services.

His assistant promptly scheduled a call and John was exactly the right person for us to consult. I ended up needing to pursue action in another state so John's firm ultimately was not the firm I needed. We told John we would gladly pay him for this time and trouble. I am a recent widow, and John insisted that it was his pleasure to look at the matter and refused to send a bill. I would recommend John in the future for people looking for a lawyer in Sacramento.

I have known John Goralka for almost 10 years, when he helped me with a tricky international sale of business assets involving intellectual property. A few years ago, my wife and I remembered he also did trust work, and contacted him again. It turned out that he's known as one of the experts and innovators in the trust field, and helped create a very flexible family trust for us. He and his staff are very professional and do high quality work, and have our complete confidence.

Mr. Goralka and his staff were excellent in executing my Revocable Trust which included my will, advance health care directive my health care choices, authorization for release of medical information, general durable power of attorney for personal care, three certification of trust agreement, general transfer, authorization for cremation & request for final services & disposition of remains. Everything was explained in a way that you could understand. I would highly recommend John Goralka & his staff.

I was in need to update my previous living trust and was looking for a reputable law firm to update it. I was directed to contact the John Goralka Law Firm. In doing so, I was informed by the law office staff that a seminar was coming up soon. I decided to attend the seminar and was so glad I did. Right after the seminar, I felt there was no need for me to continue looking for another law firm. I set up an appointment to see John. Everything went well and right on time. I would like to say that, John and the staff are very professional. Whenever I called the office, the staff was very helpful in answering my questions, and very pleasant. I sincerely recommend the John Goralka Law Firm to everyone. Raquel Contra Costa, California

First hired John Goralka for help on my parents trust resolution that was not going smoothly. Thru his knowledge and precise work, the case finally came to a fair completion, and we have worked with him on our own personal affairs since. He and his staff are great and very professional. We have recommended his service to several people and they are also very satisfied.

Having reviewed Mr. Goralka's profile on Avvo we took the option to attend his free seminar at his office and we weren't disappointed. The staff was great and Mr. Goralka's presentation and information was extremely helpful in helping us to determine our next course of action; which was we had him update our current Living Trust. Mr. Goralka has refined the process which made gathering documents easy, communicating with the office staff was quick and efficient, and any of our questions were quickly answered with concise information that was so easy to understand. When we went through the signing of all our new documents, again the process was smooth, easy to understand, and the staff was really great to work with. Look forward to sitting down with them again in 3 years for our free trust review which is just absolutely great.

John Goralka and his entire staff were extremely professional and efficient when he prepared our family trust.

Mr. Goralka could tell right away right away that I was lost in the legal world and he was extremly sympathetic and encouraging. Everyone told me from the start that I couldn't win this difficult case, but he never gave up, and did win it. I consider him to be a "Super Hero"

John Goralka is an excellent lawyer. He was highly recommended by my business partner and he met all my expectations. I met Mr. Goralka when he was doing an Estate Planning presentation to a community group in the East Sacramento area. John has assisted me in completing my Estate Planning and Trust. His staff was very professional, efficient, friendly, and promt at making last minute changes on my trust. I would highly recommend John Goralka to all my family and friends.

He was understanding and helpful as he guided us through the necessary legal steps to make sure our estate would be distributed just the way we wanted it. The staff was always on top of things when we called with questions. They're just nice people. We highly recommend.

Mr. Goralka could tell right away right away that I was lost in the legal world and he was extremly sympathetic and encouraging. Everyone told me from the start that I couldn't win this difficult case, but he never gave up, and did win it. I consider him to be a "Super Hero"

John Goralka is an excellent lawyer. He was highly recommended by my business partner and he met all my expectations. I met Mr. Goralka when he was doing an Estate Planning presentation to a community group in the East Sacramento area. John has assisted me in completing my Estate Planning and Trust. His staff was very professional, efficient, friendly, and promt at making last minute changes on my trust. I would highly recommend John Goralka to all my family and friends.

A family friend found John here on Avvo and asked him if he would discuss a matter for me involving my CA family trust. His assistant promptly scheduled a call and John was exactly the right person for us to consult. I ended up needing to pursue action in another state so John's firm ultimately was not the firm I needed. We told John we would gladly pay him for this time and trouble. I am a recent widow, and John insisted that it was his pleasure to look at the matter and refused to send a bill. I would recommend John in the future for people looking for a lawyer in Sacramento.

I have known John Goralka for almost 10 years, when he helped me with a tricky international sale of business assets involving intellectual property. A few years ago, my wife and I remembered he also did trust work, and contacted him again. It turned out that he's known as one of the experts and innovators in the trust field, and helped create a very flexible family trust for us. He and his staff are very professional and do high quality work, and have our complete confidence.

Mr. Goralka and his staff were excellent in executing my Revocable Trust which included my will, advance health care directive my health care choices, authorization for release of medical information, general durable power of attorney for personal care, three certification of trust agreement, general transfer, authorization for cremation & request for final services & disposition of remains. Everything was explained in a way that you could understand. I would highly recommend John Goralka & his staff.

I was in need to update my previous living trust and was looking for a reputable law firm to update it. I was directed to contact the John Goralka Law Firm. In doing so, I was informed by the law office staff that a seminar was coming up soon. I decided to attend the seminar and was so glad I did. Right after the seminar, I felt there was no need for me to continue looking for another law firm. I set up an appointment to see John. Everything went well and right on time. I would like to say that, John and the staff are very professional. Whenever I called the office, the staff was very helpful in answering my questions, and very pleasant. I sincerely recommend the John Goralka Law Firm to everyone. Raquel Contra Costa, California

First hired John Goralka for help on my parents trust resolution that was not going smoothly. Thru his knowledge and precise work, the case finally came to a fair completion, and we have worked with him on our own personal affairs since. He and his staff are great and very professional. We have recommended his service to several people and they are also very satisfied.

Having reviewed Mr. Goralka's profile on Avvo we took the option to attend his free seminar at his office and we weren't disappointed. The staff was great and Mr. Goralka's presentation and information was extremely helpful in helping us to determine our next course of action; which was we had him update our current Living Trust. Mr. Goralka has refined the process which made gathering documents easy, communicating with the office staff was quick and efficient, and any of our questions were quickly answered with concise information that was so easy to understand. When we went through the signing of all our new documents, again the process was smooth, easy to understand, and the staff was really great to work with. Look forward to sitting down with them again in 3 years for our free trust review which is just absolutely great.

John updated our living trust and wrote a special needs trust for our adult disabled son. It should be noted our case was unusually difficult and complex. We were exceptionally satisfied with his services.
