Semanchik Law Group - San Diego, California

Ray Kronquist

Nikki Semanchik gave me very good advice in a very short time. She explained that it was possible for a nonprofit to receive its revenue from providing services, rather than from donations.

Since we were at an early stage, we did not yet have income from services, so she suggested delaying questions on the details of reorganization until we were closer to having to implementing them. We are getting close to that point now, and we expect to contact Nikki again soon to learn more about how we will need to compensate our volunteers, handle our accounting and file our tax returns.

I heartily recommend Nikki to anyone who needs competent legal and tax advice for a nonprofit.

If you're exploring ways to keep your family wealth, you’ve probably considered setting up a family trust. If so, are you wondering if you should do it on your own or hire a lawyer? Well, if you answer yes to any of the questions below, you may want to consider hiring Ms. Nikki Semanchik at Semanchik Law Group, Inc..

First, do you wish to spend as little time as possible preparing the documents needed to create your family trust? Nikki can certainly save your time. My wife and I spent much less time than we'd expected, at most one and half hours outside of meetings with her. All we had to do was to fill out a few surveys, which she used to complete a draft of the trust documents in a few weeks.

Second, is your situation complicated, perhaps requiring a lawyer with the latest legal knowledge? Nikki stays up-to-date with the latest legal issues relevant to the services she offers. She was able to accommodate our rather unorthodox situation by adding certain conditions to the documents.

Finally, would you rather work with a professional with expert communications skills and calm assurance? These qualities of Nikki’s certainly helped us understand what to expect when she explained relevant legal concepts while laying out the entire process.

Setting up a family trust requires quite a bit of knowledge, planning, and time. We had lacked all of those and kept pushing it on the back burner. Then I remembered a Japanese saying that roughly means "Entrust baking to professional bakers." We're happy to have entrusted the complicated "baking" of setting up a family trust to a professional "baker" that is Nikki.

Linda Watson

Nikki helped me and my husband set up our trust and did an excellent job. She was very thorough and we felt comfortable with her and her professionalism. She was also very patient with our questions. I was so impressed with Nikki I asked her to set up my nonprofit. She did a great job with this also. I highly recommend Nikki.

I don’t look at Nikki and the Semanchik Law Group just as my attorney and legal counsel. I see them as a critical part of my team both personally and professionally.

I’ve depended on and trusted the expertise of Nikki and her team for many years for everything from business dealings to estate planning. I’ve always been impressed by their knowledge, business savvy, attention to deal and execution. They make you feel like a priority as well, which I always appreciate. Highly recommend for business and personal legal needs.
