Albertson Law LLP

I had three Trustees who refused to communicate or work with me on any level. They were rude, hateful, dishonest, and they did not care about me or my interest in the Trust. My trust was losing money month after month. I went to several lawyers for help and they told me that nothing could be done, and that I didn't have a case! I then met with Stewart Albertson at Albertson & Davidson, LLP and he accepted my case. Stewart helped me when no one else wanted to! After several years of aggressive litigation by Stewart and his team, he was able to get the three Trustees removed, not an easy thing to do under California law. A new trustee, receptive to my needs, was appointed. I will soon be receiving an outright distribution from the Trust. I can’t thank Stewart and his team enough for all they did for me. They take a personal interest in their clients, and genuinely care about them. They go above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend Stewart and Albertson & Davidson, LLP to anyone who is a beneficiary being abused or mistreated by Trustees.

My mother and I had been non communicative for many years even though I had tried to reconnect several times. I finally gave up trying, and assumed that she had passed on. A friend encouraged me to give it one more try, as it had been years since I had last tried to reestablish communication. I made the call, and found that she was indeed alive at 92 years old. The phone conversation went well. During that conversation she told me that she thought that I was gone, meaning passed on. We set a date to meet. She lived in Riverside Calif. and I live in AZ. I made the trip to see her and the visit could not have been any better. After many, many years of painful silence, we had patched things up. It was as though a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I am a photographer so I was able to record the event on video as well as many still photos. I made two more visits and was in Riverside when she passed away a few months later. After she had passed on, I was informed by a friend of my mothers, that there was a will that I should see. In reviewing the will, I realized that I was not in the will as my mother thought that I had passed on. It was recommended that I should consult a lawyer, and I talked to a couple that did not seem to really understand the situation, until I consulted with Keith Davidson at Albertson & Davidson. Keith reviewed the case and decided to take the case. The difference was amazing as they seemed to be really concerned about my situation. The speed, efficiency and guidance by Keith and his team was truly impressive and gave me the feeling that I had a team that would get the job done. I no longer felt like I was floundering in a legal whirlpool. Everything was done by Email and or phone. As it turned out the video and photos that I took worked in my favor, even though it was not taken for legal purposes. The will was settled to the satisfaction of all parties involved. I would recommend Keith and his very able team to anyone that needs this kind of help.

When my aunt and uncle died in Riverside, I needed a California lawyer to assist me with trust, probate and conservatorship issues. Unfortunately, my aunt and uncle's attorney from a large Riverside firm was completely unresponsive and would not return phone calls or e-mails. After this frustration, I did some research and found Albertson & Davidson. Once he obtained all of the necessary files and information, Keith Davidson immediately began work to bring the trust up to date, to obtain my appointment as conservator for my disabled adult cousin, and to file for the probate of some assets that had been left out of the trust. Throughout this process, he was always on top of things and responsive to my questions and requests for information. He and his paralegal Jennifer completed all the necessary paperwork in a prompt and accurate manner and gave me careful instructions about what I needed to do to complete it. They guided me through the often-complicated court procedures so that I was never uncertain about the steps involved or timing of when the court would act. I am a practicing lawyer in Arizona, so I do know when another lawyer is competent and professional. Keith and his firm are extremely competent at what they do and are consummate professionals. In addition, they are friendly and courteous and genuinely interested in helping their clients. I am very pleased that I found Albertson & Davidson to assist me.

“I was seriously injured by a medical device a few years ago. It took six major surgeries over several years to remove the defective medical device from my body. Attorney Stewart R. Albertson took my case and told me he would hold the medical device manufacturer responsible for my devastating injuries. Stewart filed my case in San Bernardino County Superior Court. Stewart was tenacious and would not be bullied by the multinational law firm the medical device manufacturer hired to keep my case from getting in front of a California jury. Stewart filed motions against the multinational law firm and the manufacturer for refusing to provide facts and documents in the discovery process. He won each of these motions, including monetary sanctions against the medical device manufacturer for refusing to respond to discovery. The manufacturer in one last desperate attempt asked the court to dismiss my case with two motions for summary judgment. Stewart defeated both motions. With the trial date approaching, the manufacturer caved, and settled my case. The settlement amount is confidential, and Stewart tells me I can’t say how much the manufacturer settled for. But I did see somewhere on Stewart’s website that he obtained verdicts and settlements in excess of $14 million in 2013 alone—of which I believe I'm part of. I’m proud of Stewart and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who has suffered a significant personal injury. Marion C."
