"Our family used Nicole for our estate planning needs and were very happy with her services. She is a great person who I have known for almost 10 years. She was very patient working with us, her explanations were clear and she made the whole process very easy. We had been delaying getting our estate plan done for many years until we started working with Nicole. She was quick and efficient. We highly recommend!"

"I had an excellent experience working with Nicole on my estate planning. She is very knowledgeable and was always patient, answering all of my question and providing me with detailed explanations. Nicole was responsive, followed through, and provided recommendations from her professional network. I also appreciated her flat fee pricing. I've already recommended her to a friend and am happy to recommend her to you."

"Nicole Warmerdam has been my trust attorney for well over 10 years. She has consistently helped me to keep my trust up to date, connected me with quality people who can help me (like a qualified fiduciary in case I need that support), and is an all around trusted resource. I have no family in the area and so her help is very much needed and appreciated. I originally started working with her at the recommendation of a dear friend. So glad I took his advice and established Nicole as my attorney. Would recommend her to anyone with absolutely no reservation."

"I represent a home seller who unexpectedly lost her husband right after they moved into assisted living. We needed the help of a great estate attorney so I turned to Nicole for assistance. She immediately filed a community property Affidavit so my client could put her house on the market in a timely manner. Five stars for Nicole!!"

"We feel very fortunate to have Nicole's guidance over the past year. She was initally referred to me by a close friend. She helped me set up my own trust, and when my dad passed away, she was there to help our family navigate my parents' trust during a very difficult and emotional time.
She was incredibly patient with us, always taking the time to answer our questions and explain things in a way that was easy to understand. We never felt rushed, and we always felt confident that she was guiding us in the right direction and giving us thoughtful, sound advice.
What I appreciated most was not only her knowledge and professionalism, but also her kindness and understanding. Having someone we trusted to guide us through the process made a difficult time so much easier for our family.
I'm truly grateful for everything she has done for us and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate estate attorney.

"Nicole Warmerdam came to the rescue when I needed help with trust administration and estate planning. She guided me through the entire process. While Nicole did not write the original documents, she was quick to get up to speed and provide a roadmap. She is knowledgeable and current with estate and complex tax laws/proposed changes and lays out options in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend Nicole for your estate planning needs."

"Nicole provided very clear options and guidance during our estate planning process. The meetings we had with her (by zoom, mostly) were well-organized and efficient. Nicole was just the person we needed to (finally!) get our stuff in order and finalize our estate plan. Great value. Excellent service."

"I had the pleasure of hearing Nicole speak at a San Mateo senior roundtable panel, and she left a lasting impression. What struck me most was her ability to take complex estate planning scenarios and make them feel approachable and clear - adapting thoughtfully to the nuances of each situation presented.
Nicole brings something rare to this field: a sharp legal mind paired with a genuinely warm and caring presence. She understands that estate planning isn't just about documents - it's about bringing families peace of mind and making sure every concern is heard and addressed.
From that first interaction, Nicole became a trusted professional partner. At Right at Home, our clients are family to us, and it is my privilege to share resources with them that truly align with our values. Nicole is exactly that -someone I refer with confidence, knowing she will show up for families the same way we do."

"In her personable and frank manner, Nicole explains estate planning concepts in clear terms appropriate to elders challenged with understanding the complexities encountered in the last decade of life.
She's willing to invest time speaking with an elder, in my case, commuting some distance to visit at their residence, to cultivate a relationship built on mutual trust, in the hopes that her prospective client would understand the security and peace of mind that come with having estate planning documents in place.
When it became apparent that trust planning services would not best suit her prospective client's needs, she did not leave the family without an alternative, but gave referrals for lawyers whose area of expertise would be of help."

"As a fiduciary, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nicole on a number of cases and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is always my go-to and the attorney I confidently recommend time and again.
Nicole works exceptionally well with my clients—she’s warm, personable, and truly takes the time to understand their needs. She is always available to answer questions and communicates in a clear, thoughtful way that makes even complex matters easy for clients to understand. Her ability to put clients at ease while guiding them through important decisions really sets her apart.
She is incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and professional in everything she does. I trust her completely, and both my clients and I are in excellent hands with her."

"I have had the pleasure of serving on the Peninsula Estate Planning Council Board with Nicole Warmerdam and can say from personal experience that she has an exceptional ability to break down complex concepts into clear, approachable action items. Her approach is very personable and thoughtful and can make the entire estate planning process less intimidating. Everyone needs to have an estate plan so I highly recommend Nicole!"

"We highly recommend Nicole Warmerdam for estate planning services. We met Nicole through our financial advisor and love the fact that she communicates so well with our whole team (Finance, CPA etc). Nicole is knowledgeable, efficient, detail oriented and an excellent communicator. As it turns out, we didn't know much about our family trust after the death of our parents. Nicole carefully worked through the trust with us and was able to explain the complexities in a way that we could understand them. She not only explained how the detailed trust worked but helped iron out many of the wrinkles involved. She was always available to meet in person, talk by phone or over email. In the end, she made what could have been a very stressful time in our lives, much easier. We are so grateful for her expertise that both my sister and I are in the process of having Nicole put together our own trusts."

"The Law Office of Nicole Warmerdam initially walked my sister and myself through setting our dad up with a trust and estate plan. Throughout the entire process Nicole was transparent and used plain language for my sister and I to understand all aspects of our dad's trust and estate plan, explaining what each section meant and how one decision would differ from another, while welcoming and answering every single one of our many questions. Our dad, who was present at each of the sessions as well, has English as his second language and he was also able to follow Nicole's explanations.
The experience with our dad's trust was so positive, a year later my partner and I turned to Nicole to do our estate plan, as we wanted to get that in order for not only our sake, but our child's sake as well. I knew that Nicole would walk us through the process in the same understandable, professional, and welcoming way she did when doing my dad's trust and estate plan. Not to mention, the fees were reasonable and fair. I highly recommend Law Office of Nicole Warmerdam and would turn to them again in the future!"

"It was a great experience working with Nicole. She is ​knowledgeable about the different aspects of an estate. She gave great recommendations for a few tricky situations! We like that she continues to check in and it is not a 'one & done' type of transaction. Definitely recommend!"
