Hello and thank you for your interest. I have the practical legal expertise to help in your transactional enterprises – no project too big or small.

I most recently served as the Senior Associate for the Law Office of David Philipson in Big Bear, California. And while I enjoyed the mountain life, unfortunately the mountain life disagreed with me. Before moving to Big Bear, I practiced law with two Orange County firms, handling a variety of cases including: municipal and zoning law, probate, insurance subrogation and personal injury.

I have the distinct honor of being a Triple Bruin – having received my B.A. in 2005 and my J.D. and M.A. in Urban Planning from UCLA. I am admitted to practice law in all California State Courts and in the Southern and Central Federal Districts of the State of California.

Estate Planning

Estate planning involves the preparation of legal documents that allow for the ongoing administration of a person’s assets and income, both during life and at death. Its primary purpose is to ensure that there is a smooth and seamless transfer of assets belonging to a decedent to his or her heirs with as little cost and trouble as possible. Modern estate planning usually involves the creation of a living trust, wills, and durable powers of attorney for both health care and financial decision making.

I can help you create your own unique Estate Plan. During your initial consultation, you will describe your estate planning goals and I will then develop a comprehensive Estate Plan suited to your unique objectives and needs. Beyond basic estate planning strategies, I am also experienced in creating special needs and charitable trusts, guardianships, and conservatorships to help my clients no matter their needs or circumstances.

I am also experienced in handling trust administration, probate administration, and trust and estate litigation. Whether as an executor of a will, trustee or beneficiary, I can aid you during the difficult process of winding up the affairs of a loved one. I offer free consultations and can help navigate you through the rough waters that follow a loss.
