Law Office of Jeanne Darrah

My wife and I worked with Jeanne to build an estate plan and were thoroughly pleased with both her style and her work. She walked us through each aspect of a thoughtful plan, explained what decisions we needed to make, provided good context by describing potential outcomes of each option, and then helped when necessary to keep us on track towards a comprehensive plan. Jeanne is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, is clear and articulate at the level you require, and followed through on getting a full estate plan executed for our family.

Jeanne Darrah helped us get our aging/end-of-life paperwork in order. Not something that would normally be a great pleasure, but Jeanne made it a thoughtful and meaningful experience. She starts with a long questionnaire, so we got our information together and discussed some issues ahead of time, and didn't waste a bunch of her time or our time. She then talked and listened to us for quite a while, to get a feel for our needs and priorities, so the documents she drew up are appropriate for our unusually complicated multi-generational family. She helped us with wills, a living trust, and powers of attorney for health care and for finances. She was great! I highly recommend her.

I've known Jeanne Darrah through community work for twenty + years. When it came to updating our Will and Trust prior to heading out on a trip into politically questionable circumstances it was imperative that we make the changes to include the transitions in our family since the original was written twenty years ago. Jeanne was personable, thorough, timely and wise as we looked to our future. After we completed our work she also updated my 100 year old mother-in-law's estate planning documents. I highly recommend her for estate planning.

We hired Jeanne Darrah to do our Living Will and Medical Directives. She has a lot of integrity and cares deeply about her clients and though we are a couple she made our individual wishes clearly stated. She was thorough and complete with the process and it has given us a feeling of relief to have this completed!

Jeanne used her expertise and thoroughness to tailor my will, trust, and medical directive to my specific needs. I now have a completely organized binder and perfect digital copies. Aside from the efficient email exchanges, I also met Jeanne twice for consultations at her home office in my bernal heights neighborhood, a blessing compared to meeting a lawyer downtown. The cost was extremely reasonable.
