About Law Firm

Dennis started his legal practice in Santa Barbara County where he observed that his clients from Montecito used inter vivos (which he called living) trusts to avoid the delay expense confusion of probate. At that time only large firms created this kind of trust and the originators were deceased. Nevertheless, the trusts continued to be created and revised by younger firm attorneys who lacked knowledge and interest needed for high quality work. Nevertheless, the trusts were extremely expensive, often disorganized and frequently uninteligible. Dennis created a entirely new format (table of contents, attachments in front, not back, called schedules, closer to plain English wording, and so on)

From the time he was 16 years of age Dennis had a vision to become a Attorney who would make legal services more affordable for the middle class. Avoiding probate was one area to do this and he originated the idea of a bundle of living trust documents and services for a price disclosed in advance, by agreement, which he explained that no charge seminars advertised in the San Francisco Chronicle and Sacramento Bee. The demand led to opening six Northern California offices staffed by six attorneys and 24 staff and the creation of over 5000 estate plans in the early 1990s.

Today, Dennis works as an Attorney to high net worth families and individuals needing retirement and wealth transfer tools to reduce taxes, but maintain control and predictability.

Reviews

I am a construction company owner and have had to utilize Dennis Kroeker services many times. Dennis is an amazing man and is extremely knowledgeable in his trade. I feel very confident with passing out Dennis's information when friends, family and clients are in need of an outstanding attorney. I can not thank Dennis enough for all his help over the years.

Unfortunately, my experience with Dennis Kroeker turned out to be very disappointing. My brother and I were having issues with a solar company. The solar didn't work, our monthly payments was raised from $120 to $160 a month. Dennis contacted us online and offered his help. He told us he would get us out of the contract. We stopped paying the solar in Nov. 2022. Lender shut panels off and locked it so they could not be turned back on in Aug 2023. We were concerned about the lien on the house. He said not to worry..there is no lien. We hired him in March 2023 paying $3000 retainer that I took out a loan for. We felt comfortable our problems were in Dennis's hands. We are low-income seniors and my brother had cancer. Joe passed away June 6 2023. For a long time I didn't hear anything. I called Dennis in Oct. 2023 to see what was going on. He said he had been sick in the hospital but was starting to feel better. I talked to him again in Dec. He sent me a link to his GoFundMe page. I told him to send me an itemized billing report of what he has done (if anything) and the balance of the $3000 back. He did not earn it. He stopped responding to my messages, emails, and phone calls. Oh I forgot to mention...his GoFundMe page was from Florida. He says he is getting treatment for his cancer there. He lives in Sacramento. Plenty of excellent hospitals here. If he was so broke he had to set up a GoFundMe page why spend money going to Florida for "treatments". I also heard he let his bills go and abandoned other clients. Maybe he knew all along he was going to retire to his home in Florida.... misappropriating clients funds, not paying paralegals, or bills...running off to Florida to retire. What a huge let down he was. Avoid this man like the plague.

I got in contact with Dennis after purchasing my new home. I needed Dennis' help ensuring a temporary leaseback went smoothly. Dennis made sure any issues we encountered were resolved smoothly and promptly. He was quick to answer any questions I had, very professional, and obviously very knowledgeable about a number of different areas of law. 10/10 experience and would recommend to friends and family.
