"After traveling across the country, during covid 19, John and his staff bent over backwards to ensure that we would spend no more time in California than absolutely necessary. We traveled to probate an estate and also a trust. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon, were able to meet with John on Wednesday and signed our last papers on Friday afternoon, allowing us to leave Sacramento on Saturday morning. John's paralegal, Haley Hanam was a God send, taking numerous calls from us and ALWAYS being able to answer our questions and expedite our legal papers. We would definitely recommend Goralka Law Firm to anyone needing legal assistance in the Sacramento area."

“John Goralka and his team have extensive knowledge of trusts related to disabled children. They are knowledgeable with writing the trust such that our adult child can still receive Medicare benefits. In addition, Goralka Law Firm devised several related trusts to protect the assets and monies that we are leaving to our child after we pass. I like the way his team explained and walked us through the different documents: financial power of attorney, medical power of attorney, will, and the several trusts.”
