The Law Firm of Bezaire, Ledwitz & Borncamp, APC

I have worked with Sam on a number of legal matters and I am always impressed on just how much he knows about estate planning issues. His suggestions are always spot-​on and have helped my clients save a great deal of money. There are many complex rules when it comes to wills and trusts and Sam knows how to handle any situation. What is maybe more important is that Sam really takes his time and has made me feel comfortable in moments that have been emotionally difficult for me and my family.

I saw Samuel to change my trust and will. I could not be happier! Samuel did a great job for me at a very reasonable cost. He and his staff are very knowledgable and personable. I give him 5 stars because I would recomend him to anyone I know, with the confidence that he would do a great job for them.

I have to reply to that sad and repulsing response by this firm in regards to my review.
I find it so sad and disgusting that Mr. Ledwitz has to make up out right lies in his response.
I did NOT ask him or his firm to «take part in an action that would have amounted to unethical activity under the California State Ethics Rules.» I was merely questioning him as to how the successor trustee order were changed, when we went to his office to update the living trust under HEPA laws (which may have been a sales ploy to get $ from us). My Mother and I did not compare the updated trust to the prior original trust assuming that the other information in the original living trust remained the same.
So after my Mother passed, when I looked at the updated trust by Mr. Ledwitz, I was surprised, as well as my sister was surprised that the order of successor trustee was change, when that was not my Mother’s wish. I was in the meeting with her and Mr. Ledwitz since I handle all of my Mother’s financial and legal matters. We at that time, trusted Mr. Ledwitz. But that was a mistake. Yes, it was my oversight, not to check line by line, page by page to see if anything was changed be him that wasn’t suppose to be changed. If i had, we wouldn’t be at this SNAFU.
Initially when I called Mr. Ledwitz, he didn’t even acknowledge my Mother’s passing by offering his condolence. How heartless is that? And now in his rebuttal he has to back peddle and give his sympathy. Sad. Mr. Ledwitz had told me that if it was his over site and mistake he would make the change. Well it was his over site and mistake.
But now since he realized he, himself would be taking action that would have amounted to unethical activity under the California State Ethics Rules, to fix his huge mistake, he has to twist everything around in a slime ball attorney type way. How sad for you, Mr. Ledwitz.
And another our right lie in his response «I politely refused to disclose confidential information and ended the phone call.» I guess he means by «politely refused» means hanging up on me in mid sentence because he knows he was wrong and screwed up on my Mom’s trust. How sad is that?
And my sister and I WERE clients of his since we were successor trustees. We just fired him. And we are now working with a honest and reputable attorney to settle the estate.
In the firms response of «In regards to the other allegation that I prepared estate planning documents that were not authorized by the reviewer’s mother is untrue.» Basically it’s his lying words against mine, the truth. Yes, he did. Plain and simple. My sister and I who are successor trustees agree. Sorry, Mr. Ledwitz. This case is closed. And Mr. Ledwitz is a loser.
