Our main practice areas include the following:

Estate Planning: Our Orange County wills and trusts lawyers will prepare the right estate plan for your needs, taking into account your objectives for wealth preservation, tax minimization, incapacity planning, and family business succession.

Probate and Trust Administration: Whether you're an executor, administrator, personal representative, or successor trustee, our experience with the California Probate Code, federal estate and fiduciary taxes, and the administration of estates of all sizes can help ensure the prompt and efficient discharge of your duties and a cost-effective winding up of the estate.

Business and Real Estate: Our business organization and real estate attorneys can advise you about business entity selection, family limited liability company formation, shareholder and operating agreements, and real estate transactions involving residential or commercial properties.

Adoption: If you are interested in adopting a child, or need assistance in dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, our private adoption attorneys can help you with every step in the process of adopting a child, via an open adoption, or placing a child for adoption.  We can also assist with grandparent adoptions and stepparent adoptions.  Visit our adoption website
