Testimonials
After my father passed without a clear plan in place, our family was left navigating a complicated California probate process while grieving. Temmerman, Cilley, Kohlmann & Norcia handled everything — they guided us through Santa Clara County probate court with patience and precision, managed every creditor and tax issue, and made sure every beneficiary was treated fairly throughout. We never felt lost or alone in the process. For any estate matter in San Jose or the East Bay, this is exactly the firm you want.
