Dennis A. Fordham, Attorney - Lakeport, California

Kristina Morrison

If you’re searching for an intelligent and honest attorney; look no further. After my mother’s passing, my wife and I wasted a lot of money with two big city attorneys trying to settle my mother’s estate, due to an issue with her Living Trust. After 2 years of frustration, I finally found Dennis Fordham. He solved and corrected the problem within 6 months for a very reasonable price. My wife and I were so pleased with Mr. Fordham’s professionalism, that we are now collecting our financials together, so that he can set up a Living Trust for us (problem free for our children)!

Dennis created a living trust for my wife and I.
He even provided us with a digital copy of it.
He was very knowledgeable and professional and did a great job for us at a reasonable price.
I will highly recommend you to our friends.
Thank you Dennis Fordham

Dennis Fordham is a great attorney. He helped me with my Will and Trust. I was nervous about making a Trust, though I felt at ease, when Dennis patiently explained everything step by step. He is very thorough. He is very professional and answered my phone calls or called me back promptly. I feel very confident in his expertise. His prices are very reasonable.

Dennis knows Wills and Trust law at the highest level. He has seen me through many life changes including the death of my husband and all the legal twists and turns that followed. He is smart, and kind. He is efficient and pays attention to the details. I highly value his advice and trust his counsel. He is honest, hard working and bills very fairly. If you are looking for a will and trust attorney this guy is top notch.

Mom passed in May 2022, and although I had been paying the bills and taking care of her house and property, now I needed to fulfill the duties of executor, something that I knew little about. Dennis Fordham was there for me. Dennis is experienced, knowledgeable, and caring. Most of all he was patient with me, explained things in great detail, and tried to make sure that I understood. Dennis even took on a company that I had hired earlier, that promised to help, but failed in the end. Dennis and Janita are both wonderful. Highly recommended, and I would work with them again.

When my late Father passed away I didn't know what to do. Luckily for me my Dad did do a few important things when he was alive. He did a will but most importantly a trust.

This was helpful but I learned after he died that you need an Attorney that deals with estates & probate to properly navigate you to the end. Unfortunately the Attorney that prepared my fathers will and trust had died.

I did not have to deal with probate but without Dennis' help I would have made critical mistakes. You can't just Google your way around this stuff. Get Dennis to get have it done correctly and legally.

He is whip smart, fair, and thorough. He has a unique stoic professional demeanor so don't be put off by that. My personality is the polar opposite of his. At first I was caught off guard by this. Dennis means business and he is not there to chit chat and waste his, or more importantly, your time.

Your will pay for every minute of his time but it is money well spent. Also since he is a stickler on billing his time, this will work to your advantage also. I received a substantial refund from my original retainer because of this efficiency.

I was very pleased with Dennis and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Planning for and living through our sunset years has been a daunting and at times an anxiety ridden time for myself and my spouse. With Attorney Dennis Fordham's law expertise and his counsel, important documents in our Family Trust were updated for me. I found him to be professional and knowledgeable of current and pending legislation. He was thorough, showing attention to detail in completing the necessary documents. Equally important to me was the patience, compassion and respect he showed to my ailing husband while working with us.
For these reasons I recommend Dennis A. Fordham, Attorney to anyone needing assistance with Trust or Estate matters.

I am very pleased with the service provided by Mr. Fordham and his most delightful staff. When I felt the need for professional help in tidying up my affairs he was at the top of my very short list. He has worked hard for many years to secure my trust and I recommend him to anyone who desires to put their affairs in proper order.
