The Atashi Rang Law Firm PC

I found this firm on Unilocal and am very happy that I did! We wanted a living trust within a certain timeframe and they were able to do that with time to spare! We worked with Amir Sarreshtehdary who was very efficient and very personable. They have our highest recommendation! Super convenient location too.

We were looking for someone to help us put an estate plan together when we were expecting our first child and were referred to The Atashi Rang Law Firm by our financial advisor. We met with several estate planning attorneys in our search and were thrilled to work with Amir, Sofiya, and Amir. We met with each one of them at different phases of the process. I wasn’t sure how this would work, but it was an incredibly smooth process. Each one was able to pick up right where the last person left off. And every one of them took the time to answer our questions in clear and straightforward terms. I highly recommend this firm!

I wish I could post 10 stars for Sofiya and Amir who we recently called for advice regarding a commercial property that we own. Their honest and professional guidance helped us to make a previously confusion decision easy for us and in the process they literally saved us thousands of dollars. They have definitely earned future business. — Brian

I’m a tech entrepreneur in my early 30’s in SF, and I met with Amir once for some estate planning matters. Amir is a very personable and professional lawyer, and is extremely knowledgeable in estate planning matters. If you’re legal needs are focused on estate planning or related issues, then Atashi Rang could be a great fit for you.

I worked with Sofiya, Richard and Amir at Atashi to set up a revocable trust /​estate plan for our family. The team was great — very thorough, very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Once we got our documents together the whole process was pretty seamless and they were great at explaining pretty complex terms to us. Also, the end result seemed much more thorough than other estate plans I have seen. Would strongly recommend them!

Very professional and easy to work with. We interfaced closely with Sofiya Freerer and thought she was great. She was thorough and at the same job did a fabulous job of explaining very complex trust issues in a way we could instantly grasp. It was an excellent value for us.

Service with these guys was spot on 5 stars! I found them through Unilocal when looking for an estate planning attorney in the city. Sofia assisted me in planning my estate, she was a pleasure to work with and very detail oriented. The best part is that they are part of the ARAG program so nearly everything was covered. I did have to pay some small administrative fees that weren’t covered but they were nominal in contrast to what the service would have cost without ARAG. Overall I am very happy and would refer my friends and family to them.

I worked with Amir to create a will and trust for my family. Amir is great to work with — he’s very knowledgeable and does a great job explaining how the all the pieces fit together. I now feel very confident in the quality of my will and trust.

When my parents were looking for an Estate Planning attorney to assist them in getting their affairs in order, I knew we were going to have to find a Russian-​speaking attorney if we were going to really be able to honor all of their wishes.
We were ecstatic to find that one of the attorneys at the Atashi Rang Law firm spoke Russian! Sofiya helped my parents understand the implications of their decisions as well as kept their personal goals in mind while guiding them through the process.
She responded promptly to emails and inquiries and was extremely accommodating. At the end of the process, my parents were left with an estate plan that they feel completely comfortable with. This gives them and myself peace of mind which cannot be overstated.
We also met briefly with some of the other attorneys in the office, including Amir. They were all competent and extremely pleasant to work with. I would absolutely recommend their services.

Amir and his team are awesome and I highly recommend them!
I needed to create a trust and Amir was referred to me by my CPA. My initial meeting was with Amanda. She is a pleasure to work with and has great energy. She patiently answered all my questions and ensured everything moved along as needed.
I then met with Amir. He has a great positive attitude and I felt like he was really there to help and ensure my trust was set up 100% the way I wanted it so that there would be no complications.
As others have mentioned, Amir and his team seem genuinely interested in helping their clients in the best way possible and they were so responsive. Their professionalism is top notch! I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Amir and his team are great attorneys. I received personalized attention and felt like they really care about me and my family. Amir is light hearted and easy to talk to. Amanda was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. Highly recommended.

We had to update our estate planning the third time, every time with different lawyers, but this time we had the best experience ever! Friendly, professionally, and genuinely interested in your own perspective. Law talk in understandable English! A wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Amir and his team are unlike most attorneys I have come across. They all seem genuinely pleased to be there and to be serving their clients. They take the extra initiative to really address your own personal goals and concerns instead of simply talking at you.
I am so confident in Amir and his team, I referred my own parents to them to update their Estate Plan. They are in the preliminary stages, but so far they are very pleased at the professional manner, the incredible staff, and happy to be working with them.
I also fully intend to use the Atashi Rang Law firm to assist me with a prenuptial agreement as well in the coming years.
If you are looking for honest, efficient, and knowledgeable estate-​planning attorneys, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend!

Not only do I know Amir Atashi Rang personally I have dealt with him professionally too. This law firm attended to my mother’s estate and will documents after my father passed away. His team made everything as easy as possible as my mother has mobility problems. Sofiya, one of the firm’s associate attorneys, even came to her house and made her feel both comfortable and assured that what was being prepared was the right thing to do. This law firm deals with the most unpleasant of all legal realms; what’s going to happen when a loved one passes away or becomes incapacitated. They do it with respect and discretion. Thank you for the great work and I value the professional demeanor of your firm.

This is the firm you are looking for! I can’t rave enough about the Atashi Rang Law Firm. I found out I was a successor trustee and needed help. I come from a family of attorneys and Judges and this the firm they sent me to. I think that alone should give you the confidence you need to know you are making the right decision. Amir was kind and helpful right from the start. After dealing with over 200 attorneys in my life for both personal and business issues this is the first time I ever experienced sincere warmth from an attorney from the first phone call. The knowledge and experience this team has elects the finest in the business. I adore the staff and don’t make a move without consulting Amir and Sofiya. She is also an incredible attorney who does an excellent job. I am so pleased with the service I am moving all of my personal trust matters to the firm.

I was referred to the Atashi Rang Law Firm for an estate plan by another attorney who provided me with excellent consulting during my divorce a few years ago. I was fortunate to see they were also covered by my voluntary benefits program through work. In short, they did an excellent job. I worked with multiple attorneys (Richard, Amanda), and it was clear that information and my needs were shared between them clearly. Their final product met all the needs I spelled out in my initial questionnaire. Everyone I worked with not only knew the technical ins and outs of estate planning, but paid close attention to detail, wrote and communicated clearly, treated all my questions and suggested edits professionally and seriously, and was very easy to work with. If and when I have an estate plan update or other legal need, I will go back to this firm. They took care of all the benefits program billing, coordination with the City, and other ancillary services exactly as they said they would. There were no surprises or issues. There’s nothing worse than hiring a high-​priced attorney, only to have to spend tons of your own time having to correct/​re-​do their and their paralegals’ work… these guys were the exact opposite. Thank you!

Amir and his team are superb and super. He did a great job on our estate planning and trust. They are very knowledgeable and accessible with great follow through. He has done this service for a number of our friends as well, all happy with his setvice. If you need estate planning, and EVERYONE does, I highly recommend this team.

Amir and the other lawyers on his team are the nicest, sincerest, most competent estate planning lawyers you will ever find. I have referred both clients and personal friends to him, and I am always excited when they hire him because I know they will receive the very best in service and quality of representation. He’s the best.

I was looking for an ARAG-​network attorney and found this firm in the Berkeley parents network newsletter. It seems this firm may be good for *complicated* estate plans (as testimonies seem to reflect), but may not be willing to work with smaller or more straightforward ones.
We asked for Amir to provide legal review of a document that another attorney billed us 3 hours to create. It wasn’t worth his time — which is fair — but it would have helped me to know that he will turn down jobs after some discussion if they are smaller (less than 16 hours at $ 395/​hour) for no apparent reason other than the scope.
Again, this is fair, and his choice. But it might help other prospective clients (and him, actually!) to have this better understood upfront.

I worked with the firm on a complicated property transfer to another family member. They were excellent in every way; attentive, friendly, patient, professional, accommodating, and more. They’ve just been great to work with. I can’t praise them enough for the value they’ve brought to my family.
I wish I could give them a second five stars but it looks like others have taken care of that. I don’t have a will yet but when I’m ready I’ll go to them first.

Amir is a wonderful attorney. He takes the time to listen and get to know the needs of your family. He explains everything so you can understand. If you need a will, trust or other estate planning needs he is by far the best. I work as a financial advisor and have worked with several attorneys over the years. I’ve been referring my clients to him for years and they have all had a good experience.
When it was time for my husand and I to set up our own estate plan I got to see first hand what the process is. We even were able to bring our 6 month old baby to the office, he had no problem with it.
We are so grateful to have such a trusted advisor to go to.

Amir’s the best. He set up a Living Trust for us and did a superb job of guiding us through the process. It’s a fairly complicated beast but he has a knack for explaining things in plain English. He and his staff were totally reliable and friendly (not to mention very tolerant of our moments of extreme disorganization).
Give him a call. You won’t be sorry.

My husband and I worked with Amir for the last few months to set up a trust, wills, advance healthcare directive, etc. Amir made a very complicated process quite easy. He and Jessica were great to work with, very prompt and thorough. Highly recommend!

We just finished our estate plan with Amir. It was unbelievably painless. Amir patiently explained everything and we have complete confidence in him. He was very upfront about costs, which were entirely covered by our ARAG legal plan I have from work. I thought, since ARAG pays a lump sum, that he might sometimes act rushed, but this was never the case.
I am recommending him to all of my friends.

Using Amir for your estate planning needs will make the process go more smoothly than you ever thought possible!
My husband and I felt we could trust Amir from the moment we met him. We set up the initial consultation with him and were convinced that he was a lawyer that we could trust. He has your best interests at heart and truly works to ensure that you understand the options available to you and process along the way. His rates are extremely reasonable from other firms that I talked with and he doesn’t push a «one size fits all» product on you. He also worked with us on payment terms since we were finalizing our kitchen renovation at the same time.
These comments apply to the other Amir in his office as well.
I would without a doubt use Amir again and recommend him to anyone that I hear of looking to put together an estate plan!

We found Amir through my company legal plan and he’s been absolutely great. He put together our first estate plan when we moved to San Francisco, and updated it when we had our second child. When my husband needed a lawyer for a business dispute he recommended a colleague of his who was extremely helpful. Writing an estate plan is not really an enjoyable experience but he made it pretty painless.

This is one attorney you can trust. Mr. Atashi Rang is a truly nice person with your best interest at heart. Attorneys like Amir are far and few in between, so my family and I have been lucky to have found him. Have a first consultation and you’ll see what I mean.

This is my first review but one that I feel commited to sharing. My husband and I were dragging our heels in making a will but knew that we were idiots not to take care of business. We have children who are dependents and even though our first attempt was a disaster, we still had to forge ahead. We needed to take care of those that we love and not leave everything that we have earned for the State of California to consume.
I found Amir Atashi Rang via Unilocal in a roundabout way. I called another lawyer listed on Unilocal who had previously worked for Amir. He answered the phone (early in the morning) and the rest was history. I knew immediately that we had found our «Lawyer». But having been stupid before, we went downtown and met him (my intuition is not enough).
He is smart, kind, warm and informative. Making a will and trust is very stressful but Amir walked us through the maze. We sign the Trust at the end of next week. I feel confident if something should happen to us, our family and friends will be able to benefit from the work we have done with Amir.
There were no hidden charges, he walked us through each phase of the process. Our designated trustees can rely on him if they need help.
I hope this helps someone as it is so important. By the way, we found out about Unilocal from Bucky K and his gorgeous and brilliant wife Jennifer.
