Greg did an amazing job settling my parents estate. It was a contentious situation with family members and he handled things beautifully. Greg returned my calls immediately and when I was stressed he was able to calm my nerves. I highly recommend Greg.

Greg helped with the steps needed to change my business from a Sole Proprietorship to an LLC. He was communicative, clear, prompt, and confident, which made the (new-to-me) process less stressful overall.

My wife and I found ourselves in a real-estate contract bind. I asked a few friends of a trustworthy law firm that may be able to help. The Chilina Law Firm came highly recommended. We met with Greg and explained the situation. He listened and understood the situation and offered to help. He handled our case with professionalism, integrity, determination and compassion. Ultimately the case was settled with an amicable resolution by both parties. I have and would recommend the Chilina Law Firm if you find yourself in situation and need professional help......

Greg and Karen Chilina were amazing! I had no idea what to do after my dad passed away. My dad had no Will or Trust set up.

The personal attention, care, And direction Chilina Law Firm provided was exemplary ! I highly recommend Chilina Law Firm! They are in my contacts and would refer their services as an A+ thank you Greg and Karen! Chilina Law Firm!

My husband and I hired Greg Chilina after referral from the SLO County Bar Association and I'm grateful we did! He listened to the entire, complex situation, gave us multiple scenarios for next steps and let us know how much to expect to spend. His estimates were accurate, his team communicated quickly and the result from mediation was the best we could have hoped for. With excellent service and clear strategy, he changed what looked like a total loss into a successful regain of estate.
