Our family was referred to Griffith & Horn to handle a very simple trust administration. There was no probate. There was no litigation. It should have been quick and easy.

Attorney Adam Horn agreed to take our case and simply communicate with the Trustee's attorney in order to get this matter resolved fairly for our family -- which included multiple beneficiaries.

Shortly after taking the case, Mr. Horn stopped responding to emails. Rarely did he return our phone calls. His demeanor was as if he was irritated and doing us a monumental favor whenever we tried to get an update from him. He did not follow through with our requests for information nor did he follow up on communication with the Trustee's attorney.

Obviously, he had zero interest in representing our family from Day #1. We should have fired him immediately but we gave him the benefit of the doubt and just hoped for the best.

On the few occasions that we were able to reach him, his "advice" had nothing to do with our case. He didn't read our file and it showed. He told us certain matters were either resolved or didn't pertain to our inheritance. Wrong! Had we not called the insurance companies directly, we would have lost over $15k in life insurance benefits on 3 different policies from 2 different insurance companies.

To add insult to injury, Mr. Horn QUIT without notice and without explanation in the middle of the trust settlement. Again, our attempts to ask why went unanswered as usual.

We are now left in the cold to pick up the pieces alone.

So, if you're looking for an expensive attorney who is not interested in doing his job, Adam Horn is your man. Good luck.

In 2017 both my younger brothers died by traumatic means (suicide and brain cancer). in a short period of time. Neither had wills or trusts set up. I was the only family member capable to coping. Needless to say it was an awful time involving probates in two different counties, hundreds of important documents to sign , getting up to speed understanding the notoriously unpleasant process of probates, estates, county courts, the commonly hideous prospect of hiring attorneys to deal with horrible situations. Check the horror story regarding Nicholas Jellins, attorney in Menlo Park, CA.

In Chico I initially hired Nicole Plottel office and that was an encounter with a non attorney woman named Jo Ann who painted a horrible picture immediately of a prolonged glacially slow process due a defective county government in Chico, and some particularly messy official. I did not trust them at all right from day one, but I was desperate to get it started. Two probates at once: that is a nightmare. That law office seemed like no more than a "hood emblem" on the life of some pretty girl Nicole Plottel not a serious law office.

Due to astronomical blessing I also connected with Chico real estate agent: Alisha Simkins. Alisha is a star. Period. She took care of everything swiftly and without a single tiny glitch. Alisha knew Mr. Griffth and made this connection for me as well as well. She "flew over" the Coocoos nest of the Plottel office in her smooth execution of 3 real estate sales.

At Griffith and Horn Adam Horn agreed to take this on instead of the Plottel office. Adam was fast and good natured and did not paint any picture of any nightmare like the Harris Plottel office. He completely proved what a total crock of shit that came from the Plottel office and that horror picture from the Plottel office made my life a far worse nightmare than it needed to be because due to circumstances.

All I can say is Adam Horn and Mr. Griffith were life savers in a situation that was unbearable and needed top notch easy to communicate with folks who knew how the get thru it with minimum of fuss.

Adam Horn and Mr. Griffith and were top notch.
