Areas Of Practice
My 18 years of experience in the trust banking industry is an important supplement to my legal knowledge. I represent clients in the following areas of law:
Estate Planning And Probate
The Advantages of Leaving a Will or Living Trust
Most people don’t realize the importance of leaving a will behind. Should your death occur before you plan your estate, court supervised probate hearings will be undertaken to determine the allocation of your assets. At that point, family members or heirs can step forward and petition the court to act as the administrator of your estate. Depending on the nature of the parties involved, this could result in a costly, lengthy legal process for your survivors.
As a California probate lawyer and estate planning attorney, I have seen first hand how difficult and stressful these probate proceedings can be.
The simple solution? — Leave a will or living trust for your survivors.
A will or trust enables you to set aside money for a child or grandchild’s college, to structure payments to beneficiaries, specify powers of attorney in case you are incapacitated, and avoid or defer certain kinds of tax. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor by taking care of these important decisions while you have the time and opportunity. I will guide you through every step in the process.
Business Formations
If you’re thinking of starting a business, incorporation can result in many benefits, including tax reduction. Additionally, incorporation provides you with various kinds of liability protection essential for staying in business.
As a California Bay Area business formation attorney, I can advise you on the advantages and disadvantages regarding certain kinds of business formations and partnerships. As your lawyer, I will also file your papers with the Secretary of State’s Office.
Hands-On Service you can Rely On
At my law office, you don’t have to worry about me assigning your case to someone else. I am a firm believer that quality customer service in the legal industry requires that you receive the undivided attention of your lawyer. If you hire me to resolve your legal problem, you can count on the legal work meeting my standards of quality and excellence.
The advantage to my clients is clear . . . since I do the work myself I know the specifics of your case at any given time. Some law firms parcel a client’s case out to various attorneys and staff members. This does not happen at my law office. You will not feel like you are disconnected from your case and your lawyer. I take full responsibility for every aspect of your case.
