Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured in car accidents, slip-and-falls, dog bites, and other incidents. Our attorneys negotiate with insurance companies to secure maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With proven success in complex cases, we provide dedicated representation from initial consultation through settlement or trial.
Estate Planning
Our firm creates customized estate plans including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. We help clients protect assets, plan for special needs beneficiaries, and avoid probate through revocable living trusts. Our straightforward approach explains legal concepts in plain language while ensuring documents meet California's legal requirements.
Probate
We guide executors through California's probate process for estates exceeding $150,000. Our services include court filings, creditor notifications, tax compliance, and asset distribution. We minimize personal liability risks for executors while ensuring timely resolution of estate matters through efficient court process management.
Trust Administration
Our attorneys assist successor trustees in administering living trusts privately and efficiently. We handle asset inventory, tax compliance, creditor claims, and beneficiary distributions while maintaining legal protections for trustees. This alternative to probate typically completes within 4-5 months with reduced costs compared to court proceedings.
Wills
We draft legally valid wills that clearly express clients' wishes for asset distribution and guardianship appointments. Our services include creating pour-over wills for trust integration, addressing special needs beneficiaries, and updating documents to reflect life changes. We ensure proper execution with witnesses and notarization to prevent future challenges.
