Firm Description

Our mission is to help our clients achieve meaningful peace of mind by making the best legal decisions.

That's true regardless of the project - whether we're planning a family's estate, designing a living trust, helping an individual with special needs, assisting a trial lawyer or an injury client after settlement, probating a will, reducing someone's estate tax burden, representing a trustee, filing a conservatorship, or qualifying a senior for Medi-Cal.

There are certainly a lot of attorneys in California, but our clients consider us unique. We are their trusted "family lawyer." We are a reliable professional colleague. We are their friend.

When you become our client, we will do more for you than just prepare excellent legal documents. We will provide you with confidence, knowing that you are actually doing the right things for those you care about and for yourself. You will have a place to turn for answers.

That requires us to work differently from other lawyers. We will emphasize a relationship with you, not a series of transactions. Our goal is for you to actually enjoy having us on your team.

Combining friendship with great legal work may seem old-fashioned to some, but to us it's the only way that we can ensure your peace of mind. It's the only way we can add true value to the world around us. And it's really a great joy.
