Our Vision

We are a family run law firm that provides customized legal services for Southern California businesses, individuals and families. Our expertise focuses on private and customized estate planning and business structuring.  We provide clients with options to achieve their objectives through creative uses of revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and other estate planning strategies. This often involves structuring corporations, limited liability companies, or partnerships.

 

Each plan is specifically tailored for the client’s needs and wishes. Every person and family needs a plan of action for life’s most difficult circumstances, including illness, incapacity and death. Families and communities are stronger when a plan exists that avoids disputes and eliminates the need for court intervention.

 

We do everything possible to help our clients achieve a private, effective and efficient plan of action in the event of family disruption resulting from death or incapacity, including the avoidance of probate and conservatorship. Where probate is required, we assist clients achieve an efficient probate administration. Ultimately, our goal is simple: helping our clients, their families, and our communities achieve peace of mind and comfort by providing exceptional, personalized legal services.
