Are these testimonials from real clients?

Yes. Written testimonials come from clients of The Andrews Law Firm, P.C. and are published with their permission. Google reviews are posted by clients directly on the firm’s Google Business Profile.

Why does each testimonial come with a disclaimer?

California’s rules on lawyer advertising presume that a testimonial or endorsement is misleading unless it includes a disclaimer such as: “This testimonial or endorsement does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.”

Are clients paid or rewarded for testimonials?

California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.2 generally prohibits a lawyer from giving anything of value to a person for recommending the lawyer’s services, and Google’s policies prohibit incentivized reviews.

Will my matter turn out the same way?

Not necessarily. Results depend on the facts, the documents, the people involved and the law at the time. A testimonial describes one client’s experience.

How do I leave a review?

Open the firm’s Google Business Profile from this page and choose to write a review. You can also send a written testimonial to the office by email.

Will my private information appear in a testimonial?

No. Testimonials do not include confidential details about a client’s family, assets or legal matter, and a testimonial is published only with the client’s permission.

How can I check Elaine Andrews’s credentials?

Search the attorney profiles on the State Bar of California website. Her profile shows her license status and her certification as a specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law.

Where else can I read about the firm?

The Client Reviews page links to the firm’s Google reviews and to the 2025 BusinessRate recognition as Best Law Firm in Truckee, which was based on an evaluation of Google review data.

Client testimonials

In their words: families, trustees and executors.

How clients describe working with Elaine Andrews and The Andrews Law Firm, P.C. — published with their permission and alongside the disclaimer California requires.

A testimonial describes an experience, not an outcome.

Testimonials tell you how a client experienced the work: whether questions were answered, whether the process was explained in plain language, whether the documents made sense at signing. They cannot predict how another person’s matter will turn out, and California’s attorney advertising rules treat a testimonial as misleading unless it carries a disclaimer saying so. Every testimonial on this page comes from a client of the firm, and reviews on the firm’s Google Business Profile appear as clients posted them.

This testimonial or endorsement does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As grieving parents of our deceased son, we were in need of guidance with regard to what do we do next.  Our son was without a will and, we had no experience with how to proceed. Luckily, we contacted Elane at the Andrews Law Firm Truckee who immediately understood our situation and was able to provide the information we needed and the necessary legal paperwork to resolve our problem. Our problem was magnified by the fact that we live in Milwaukee and involved my son's car for which we could not find the title. Rather than have to return to Truckee after 40 days to request a new title, Elane assisted us in creating a power attorney for a friend in Truckee which negated our having to return to Truckee from Milwaukee to simply apply for a new title. We are very appreciative with the help we found at The Andres Law Firm Truckee. Thank you, Elaine!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred to Elaine Andrew's law firm through a friend and I'm very happy we went and sat down with her.   She quickly recognized a few mistakes in our previous trust and worked to correct them and ensure that our trust followed all legal requirements.  We now feel confident that we have a very solid trust for the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elaine was very supportive and professional.  She sincerely listened to my concerns and questions.  She advised me of California Laws and guided me through the process of what steps would be the best for preparing my will.   Kenneth reviewed page by page of my will with me (before signing) and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend The Andrews Law Firm they made my dreaded will preparation bearable.  Thank you.

How to read a testimonial about a lawyer.

What a testimonial can tell you

How responsive the office was, whether the attorney explained California law in plain language, whether the client felt prepared to sign and whether the work was delivered as described. Detail about the process is more useful than general praise.

What a testimonial cannot tell you

Every family, estate and trust is different. A smooth trust administration for one family says nothing about how long another will take, what it will cost or whether a beneficiary will object. California Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1 prohibits lawyer communications that are false or misleading, including statements that create unjustified expectations about results.

How to verify a California attorney

The State Bar of California publishes a profile for every licensed lawyer, including admission date, license status and any public discipline. Certified specialists are certified by the State Bar’s Board of Legal Specialization; Elaine Andrews is certified in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law, which requires a specialty examination, substantial experience in the field, ongoing specialty education and favorable evaluations from judges and attorneys.

Sharing your own experience

Clients can post a review on the firm’s Google Business Profile or send a written testimonial to the office. Testimonials appear on this site only with the client’s permission, and confidential details are never included.
