With more than 25 years of legal experience and a master's degree in taxation, I help clients with estate planning, probate and taxation, and business entity formation. My office location is convenient for my Southern California clients, and as a one-attorney law firm, I am able to provide my clients with the personalized attention their legal matters deserve.

I also provide sound legal counsel regarding estate taxes, gifting tax and other important estate planning considerations.
Probate
I represent executors and trustees in a range of probate matters, including:
- Trust administration
- Post-death administration
- Estate tax filing
- Related tax compliance matters such as fiduciary income tax returns
Taxation
Tax matters can be quite complex with many potential pitfalls that can go unseen. It is important to work with an experienced tax lawyer. I represent clients in tax matters that include:

Entity Formation
I provide legal counsel regarding business entity formation in the context of estate and tax planning.

I can help you understand the benefits and limitations of each type of entity so that you can make informed decisions that will meet your needs and accomplish your goals.
