I am attorney and practice in the same area as Mark and Eric. When I had a complex personal estate matter come up, I knew that these were the attorneys who should represent me. My trust was well placed. Mark and Eric handled my case as consummate professionals who were good-natured and kept me well-grounded on the issues. They are extremely sympathetic and just a pleasure to work with. I was honored that they represented me and we got a great result.

I would like to thank you and your staff for your representation of our (10) families in the probate litigation of our uncle’s estate, from the probate court process all the way through the Supreme Court filings. Throughout the process you consistently explained all of the issues, gave us perspective on the problems involved, and insight into upcoming events, all the while keeping all 10 different families united in the decisions that had to be made.  You answered all our endless questions and timely responded to our concerns. The quality of your briefs and filings was excellent. Most important to me, I believe you represented us with the highest integrity. In addition, you won our case in every court it was appealed to. Your legal advice to us got us the result we needed.  I can’t thank you enough.

Working with Mark Lester and Eric Hirschberg, you know you are with an experienced legal team who know how to navigate the complex estate laws and court process. A pleasure to work with and results are impressive.

After the untimely death of my wife due to injuries from an unfortunate accident, I was referred to Mark Lester by a very close friend. I had initially spoken to a different lawyer at a different law firm and simply felt uneasy with her. Conversely, from the moment I contacted Mark Lester I quickly realized he understood what help I needed. I was introduced to Eric Hirschberg at our first meeting. Both Eric and Mark gave me respectful, compassionate and extremely professional representation and guidance and continue to do so. I soon realized my procrastination in creating a family trust was now suddenly a reality that had to be dealt with. They expertly guided a shell-shocked widower through the probate process which became even more complicated by pandemic lockdowns. Additionally, they expertly dealt with a trust that my late mother-in-law had established with my now deceased wife as sole executor. To me it seemed like a complicated and difficult situation to unravel. Finally, they established a personal trust for me. With this all now in my rear-view mirror, I can move on with my life. I can, without hesitation, say that this firm is absolutely top notch and one of the best.

“As a Private Professional Fiduciary, it is very important for me to have work with attorneys that understand my position and help me maintain neutrality. Lester, Schuck, Becker, Dehesa & Hirschberg, LLP always does an excellent job at advising me and ensuring that I am supported in my role as a fiduciary. They are my “go-to” whenever I get an unusually difficult case.”

“I’ve consulted with Mark Lester on one very complicated matter involving a conservatorship, and retained him as an expert witness to testify at trial in a very hotly-contested case. In each instance, he demonstrated a superior knowledge of the law, surpassing that of the other side’s experts, and provided pretrial testimony in the litigated case that decimated that of the other side’s expert. Mark’s performance in each matter was truly remarkable, and I’ve been in practice, handling primarily litigation and trial matters for almost 44 years.”

“I was referred to Eric for preparation of a new Family Trust. Eric was very professional and helped us efficiently prepare and execute a robust document. His attention to detail and litigation experience gives me great comfort that the document will serve our family well should we ever need it. During our meetings, Eric made several professional recommendations on my execution of my Aunt’s Estate. I ultimately used him to represent me in my Trustee capacity. Given the quality of service I received, I can’t recommend Eric highly enough.”
