Testimonials

Elisabeth and her staff were very professional and knowledgeable in helping my brother and I navigate through the probate process. I would definitely recommend consulting with her office and I’m sure that you will be completely satisfied with her work.

Elizabeth was such a help to me and my family after loosing a dear friend. She made me feel so comfortable with the whole probate process. She takes the time to get to know you as a person instead of just another client. If you are in need of a great probate lawyer I would highly recommend her.

I had the pleasure to work with Elisabeth and her staff on several occasions.

My father and I came to her to work on my father’s trust after my stepmother passed away. She was extremely supportive and understand with my father. I appreciated the time she took to talk to my father and work with him to provide what was needed.

Elisabeth provided consultation and her team provided support from start to finish. I had the same experience when my father passed away. Elisabeth provided excellent advice and walked me through the process when I did not understand.

It was my turn to have my trust completed and I knew exactly where to go. Elisabeth and her staff were there providing exceptional care and concern to my issues and what I needed.

I would highly recommend Elisabeth Kempe-Olinger for your trust and estate needs!!!

Ms. Kemp-Olinger and her staff are compassionate and caring, and provided prompt response and assistance to me to resolve stressful issues. Very organized and professional and always return phone calls and e-mails promptly.

If you value honesty and integrity, this law firm excels. I have had several dealings with the attorney both by phone and in person. She has proven that there is still a human nature to law services. I HIGHLY recommend Elisabeth Kempe-Olinger. Her support staff excels as well. If I need an attorney for any reason, this would be my first call.

★★★★★  Straight forward attorney

- Logos L.

Elisabeth is a straight forward attorney who explains things in a no nonsense kind of way. Her advice and insights on navigating the legal landscape are impeccable. With those things in mind, she always has the interests of her client at the top of her priorities. She will not undertake any unnecessary services for the sole purpose of making money. She has my utmost respect.

★★★★★   Pleased with the legal services

-  Russel W.

When my wife passed away last year, it became quite evident to me that I needed help dealing with the terms of our Revocable Trust. I did a low-tech search of the telephone directory looking through a multitude of ads listing attorneys and their services for many different issues. I found one ad that said “EMPHASIS ON SERVING THE NEEDS OF SENIORS” and “PROBATES, LIVING TRUSTS, WILLS, POWERS OF ATTORNY, CONSERVATORSHIPS.” Key words for me were Senior Needs and Living Trust, so after checking the listed web site, I decided Elisabeth-Kempe Olinger Law Office is the one I would use. Our Trust is relatively complicated involving several properties, accounts and beneficiaries who reside in five different states and Canada. Elisabeth-Kempe Olinger quickly became familiar with the terms of the Trust, and she and her team dealt with all the issues in an orderly, detailed and timely way. Unfortunately, the beneficiary in Canada had some serious health issues, and it was necessary for Elisabeth to work with a Canadian attorney. All of which caused the process to last over a year. During this time, Elizabeth and her assistant were always available to me. I am pleased with the legal services provided to me by Elisabeth-Kempe Olinger Law Office and I recommend them to you.

★★★★★  Extremely helpful

- Leo B.

Elisabeth and her staff were extremely helpful in assisting my family with our family trust and several unique issues that arose as we attempted to settle my father's estate. Her prompt communication enabled the process to proceed at a steady pace. I honestly could not have completed this process without her wise counsel. Her assistance and advise was invaluable.

★★★★★  Very detailed oriented 

- Laurie C.

Having to hire a Lawyer is seldom a thing you want to do. Most times you have no idea what you need, have to do or the laws and rules behind it. Elisabeth and her crew are very efficient. They cut to the chase and don't hide any of the pains or process you have in front of you. They are very detailed oriented. They will allow you to do some of the leg work to save money, but will also take the full load if that is your choice. Rest assured, you will at some point finish what you started and feel safe about it. You will know that nothing was missed and nothing will come back to bite you later on. If you are looking for a no nonsense lawyer and a firm that ensures every avenue is covered. I would recommend these folks. Elisabeth is a strong person and will tell you how it is, she can push you at times but in the end you will see she did it because she wants to ensure everything is covered and there are no loose ends. LOL For a Lawyer,, I think she is all right.

★★★★★ Highly recommend

★★★★★   A+ recommendation

- Douglas P.

Let me begin by saying that Elisabeth was not my attorney. There was a piece of property left to my Aunt, and to my Father (whose portion I became the beneficiary of when he passed). My Aunt and I reached an agreement that involved her keeping the house, and me being paid a lump-sum in exchange for my Father's portion of the house. Elisabeth was the attorney that SHE hired. Simple as the above may sound, this was a fairly complex and unusual case. The property was my grandmother's, left to my Father and Aunt. He passed 10 years after my grandmother and during those 10 years never forced the sale of the house, nor explicitly left me his portion of it. However, my grandmother's will indicated my Father's portion would become mine if he passed, and that was what my Father had indicated to me that he wanted to have happen. Suffice it to say that Elisabeth took care of everything. Things were done promptly, my questions were answered in a timely fashion, and even with all the complexities of this case it was settled on the first court date...all necessary documents were obtained by Elisabeth and everything was finalized without any delays. The agreed-upon lump-sum was wired two days later. It's worth noting as well that I live in Maui which complicated matters further, and all of the aforementioned was taken care of in California without me being present for ANY of it. I thank God that my Aunt wanted to do the right thing and that she hired an honest/ethical/competent attorney. I did not have an attorney in the midst of all of this but I felt that Elisabeth had regard for me even though I was not her client; and indeed she helped me out tremendously on two separate occasions. Elisabeth's integrity, competency and good-heartedness make her an A+ recommendation.

★★★★★  I would use her again

- Julie J.

My parents created a living Trust executed by Elisabeth Kempe Ollinger several years before they died. When my father passed away we began a journey into unchartered waters. My brother and I were the beneficiaries and neither of us have ever needed the services of an attorney. We were initially overwhelmed and intimidated. Ms Kempe-Olinger is very direct and to the point.  We after a year we sold the parental family home and this is where Ms. Kempe-Olinger's experience and expertise became impressive. She rose to the occasion on Thanksgiving weekend to help us with legal paperwork required to close the real estate sale of the parental house.  Over the year that we were involved with Ms. Kempe-Olinger we experienced our own trials and health issues. Elisabeth offered heartfelt words of comfort and encouragement and demonstrated a side we did not intially see.  We have successfully completed and closed our Family Trust. We are grateful for her professional office, staff and the counsel that we received. Yes, I would use her again and I would refer my friends and family to Elisabeth Kempe-Olinger.

★★★★★  Kind and honest

- Teresa M.

I contacted Elisabeth on behalf of my father, who had been swindled by a man who claimed competency at writing family trusts. She kindly made time to see my dad on an emergency timeline and inspected his trust to determine whether it was binding, then patiently explained his options even though he had not to that point retained her services. It's so reassuring to know that there are kind and honest attorneys whose primary goal is to serve the public. Given our experience, I don't see how you can go wrong seeking out her services.

★★★★★  Transparency

- Michael L.

My acquaintance with Elizabeth Olinger-Kempe began shortly after my sister hired her to help consolidate her estate. Originally, I had little involvement in their affairs, but when my sister passed, naming me as the beneficiary, attorney at law Elizabeth Olinger-Kempe and I became more closely acquainted.
It took little time to realize the proficiency of my sister's choice and how fortunate I was, for Elizabeth helped navigate me across a landscape the likes of which I never imagined.


What I experienced was an attorney who knew how to explain legalities in real time layman language. Someone always responding to my questions, interpreting my concerns and more specifically: understanding how to communicate to me directly.
As an attorney, Elizabeth continually exhibited every aspect of ethical transparency leading me throughout every step of a dense legal journey, always in touch, accessible, never leaving me feeling as if I were unimportant or alone.

Elizabeth Olinger-Kempe remains my attorney of record relative to my trust. Everything she has handled, in my opinion, since our association began in earnest, as left no doubt that her interests were assuring my interests. Trust is hard to find. I was fortunate that Elizabeth provided hers during a most difficult time. I am grateful for what I construe as her diligence, foresight and ability to reach across the table and make sense.
I am grateful my sister's prescience found Mrs. Oliger-Kempe, as she has provided me with confidence and assurance regarding all her actions during a process that took over two years.

Elisabeth Kemp-Olinger is an excellent attorney! Ms. Kemp-Olinger was recommended to me by a dear friend. My mother had the beginning stage of dementia, and she needed to put her wishes in order. My mother was reluctant, but she went to her appointment. Ms. Kemp-Olinger instructed my mom that she would only take her case if she was able to make her own decision. My mother was hesitant about preparing a will, power-of-attorney regarding her estate. She believed she would be giving up her independence, and didn't want to give it up. They talked and my mother put her wishes in order. Ms. Kemp-Olinger was able to assure my mother that only her wishes would be executed. My mother was very comfortable with her, and she trusted her. This was a big relief for my mother as well as my sisters and I. Ms. Kemp-Olinger, is patient, thorough, and trustworthy. She works for her clients best interest! She's compassionate and honest! Her integrity is in tact! If you're looking for someone to put your life in their hands, she is my choice.

★★★★★  We recommend her highly to anyone

- John F.

Having a 95 year old mother that has dementia required my husband and I to seek conservatorship of her in order to manage her health and financial issues. We contacted a retired family attorney for advise and recommendation. He immediately recommended Elisabeth Kempe-Olinger Attorney at Law from Redlands. He told us she specialized for over 30 years in the field of estate planning and probate law. We consulted with her and immediately learned of her experience and expertise in these fields. She explained the process thoroughly and in layman terms for our understanding. Her demeanor and explanations of what to expect was calming and professional. We recommend her highly to anyone needing help and understanding of the care needed for a love one and the management of an estate according to the law.
