MEET OUR TEAM
O'Leary Wallace LLP is a law firm with an office in Atascadero, CA. At this office location, there are 2 lawyers practicing estate planning, trust administration, probate and 3 other areas of law.
I needed an entire set of legal instruments related to my estate planning. Matthew and his team were able to promptly find some time for me, walk me thru their process, help me finish it, and complete the job easily and efficiently. Matthew listened to my concerns and answered all my questions and gave me his full attention. Great job and strongly recommend.

Once we showed up to court for my final probate hearing we learned Janet had not done what she said. This set me back another four months from closing the probate.
