Hired Attorney Noelle Gaston

If you are looking for an honest and knowledgeable lawyer to set up your Trust, I highly recommend Ms Noelle Gaston. Setting up a Trust can be very confusing but Ms. Gaston helped us draft up legal documents in no time at all. Our experience with Ms. Gaston was nothing short of outstanding. Ms. Gaston was extremely professional and knowledgeable She took the time to explain all the documents and was very patient with our numerous questions. Ms. Gaston has been an invaluable resource in setting up our family Trust. I highly recommend her to anyone needing Estate Planning and would definitely hire her again!

Once again we find ourselves needing some legal advice for a family member's passing. I didn't hesitate to contact Noelle Gaston from the law offices of Christopher Biely. Noelle and I spoke briefly and then I sent contact info to my family member. She contacted Noelle and the made arrangements to meet the very next day. Our first experience with Noelle was my father's estate and in the 2.5 years that Noelle represented us, she was always knowledgeable and her follow through was always quick. She kept my brother and I informed of everything. About the time my father's estate was settled, my father in law passed away. We then found ourselves in a legal battle with one of my husband's relatives. We had to hire an attorney in AZ since that is where my FIL resided. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience with that attorney. His communication was difficult, he was never prepared. It once again show confirmed that we had made the right choice in Noelle.

I was overwhelmed by the task of having to update a twenty year old trust. Noelle Gaston was professional, very responsive, and patient in guiding me through what was needed to revise the trust. Noelle is knowledgeable and did a wonderful job of walking me through, giving advice and assistance when I needed it especially with contacting & supplying the paperwork needed by my financial advisor. I would highly recommend Noelle and look forward to working with her as needed in the future.

 
Divorce

Hired Attorney Christopher Biely

I was looking for an attorney who would be sensitive to my elderly father’s needs. I called several firms who would not touch the case being that the wife and the property were in Texas and the divorce was to be filed in California. I finally found The Law Office of Christopher S Biely and spoke with Noelle Gaston. She immediately said she could help my dad. The case became more and more involved as the opposing counsel grew increasingly argumentative and uncooperative. At no time did Noelle ever lose her composure. She maintained her professionalism in the court room and with all interactions even as he grew more belligerent. She was always understanding of my father's needs and ensuring he understood what was going on. Thanks to Noelle, we were successful in proving the fraudulence of the deed from the now ex-wife and were able to recover my father's property, his life savings. I would highly recommend Noelle for your family law needs.

Noelle Gaston represented my family throughout a probate process. We, as a family we’re very pleased to have Noelle in our corner. She was easy to communicate with, understood our needs, professional and really kept my mind at ease. I just let her do what she needed to do and if she needed something from me, she was patient. I hope I never have to go through a probate process again but if I do, I know who I’m calling, Noelle Gaston! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our case. Gina

Hired Attorney Christopher Biely

RUN AWAY AS FAST/FAR AS YOU CAN! We hired this law firm (Noelle Gaston/HUSBAND Chris Biely) Dec2021,pd $1,500 up front filing/publications. A simple probate (1 house, siblings agreeing, my husband admin). She BACKDATED $2,585 extraordinary fees, after saying wasn’t any extraordinary yet, and she would tell us before. We contested, she said we could either pay $2,585 “min charges”or if we continued to contest she would seek $4,180. We contested and told her the court should decide the extraordinary(CA code), she refused to file the last court doc. She told us to voluntarily sign to relieve her as counsel. We asked her to finish. She filed a motion to be relieved and charged us another $1100. We hired another probate attorney. He asked for our remaining $466.89 balance, she refused to give OUR MONEY. Had to pay him $500/filing and also additional fees for representation. Her extraordinary fees now over $7000.00. Court ordered mediation. We paid$1966.89 extraordinary fees to just be done.
