Miki C. Valente

Convenient office location with effective office staff. Good communication skills, via phones, email ... Does research and calls back quickly. Caring and patient. I highly recommend her to friends and families.

Very happy to warmly recommend Miki! I've recently gone through some family changes and she's excellent - a communicator who explains the ins and outs of estate planning (and why you might want to try different things) patiently and clearly! Looking forward to working with Miki for years to come.

Miki is a great attorney. She thought of every eventuality in writing up my trust document. She asked questions that helped get me to the fairest dispersion of my assets in a rather complicated family situation. She is ready to work with and explained things so that I could understand. She is prompt, and appointments were easy to schedule. We were able to do everything virtually except signing the documents which was great for me. I recommend her without hesitation for your estate planning needs.

As my family expanded to include five grandchildren, my estate planning needs have evolved. Over the years, Miki Valente has worked with me to clarify my goals while dealing with various complex family situations. My adult children now work with MV Law for their families and have this to say about her: “Miki Valente’s attention to detail and propensity for quality client relations is unparalleled.” “Miki’s holistic approach to estate counsel and service is welcomed.”

Miki is an extraordinarily talented and dedicated attorney. She made the complex and daunting task of preparing my final estate arrangements easy and painless. Her ability to explain complex, technical concepts in simple terms is nothing short of amazing. She is incredibly diligent and thorough in her work product. I give Miki my unreserved, highest recommendation!

Miki helped me prepare a comprehensive estate plan and all related documents to replace a plan that was over 20 years old and did not reflect my current family and personal situations. I had been avoiding this effort for years. However, the process that Mickey follows helped me focus on the most important issues and questions. Once I was able to address the in initial questions, many of which involved other family members, the process moved smoothly. It took less than three months. I am very pleased with the results.

Miki Valente, Esq., has been a trusted trusts and estates advisor for over 18 years. She is a joy to work with, incredibly thoughtful in her counseling, proactive in outreach, and responsive to requests for assistance. Her work product is also impeccable. Our family could not be happier to continue working with Miki.

Miki has handled our family's estate planning needs for over ten years and we've found her to be extremely knowledgeable, thorough, professional, warm-natured, and an excellent communicator. She is a great listener who cares about our family's specific needs, thinks broadly, with both a short and long-term perspective, and creates detailed plans and documents that give my wife and me the peace-of-mind that our estate and life plans are comprehensively covered. We have recommended Miki to other family and friends and are sincerely happy with the support and services she has provided over the years.

Miki Came highly recommended by my divorce attorney as I needed to get a new estate plan. Excellent service I think I signed on Halloween and downtown Los Altos was hopping. She was not in costume....

Since 2011, Miki has guided our family through the creation of several trusts and administration of the closeout of several estates. She knew exactly how to handle each situation and guide us with confidence and care. She kept us updated the whole way through, always taking time to explain what was happening and why. Beyond her professionalism, she was kind, patient, and genuinely empathetic — qualities that made a difficult time feel much more manageable. I recommend Miki to all needing trust planning and administration of estate closeouts. Miki was truly wonderful to work with.
