- Biography
I have decades of experience counseling on Estate, Wealth Transfer, Business Succession, and Charitable Planning matters. I diligently represent clients throughout Los Angeles in State, Federal and U.S. Tax Courts.
I am dedicated to bringing a fresh perspective to estate and wealth transfer planning. With a focus on meeting my clients’ personal and business needs, I create customized solutions focused on the best possible outcomes. I diligently advocate for the unique objectives, challenges, and concerns of my clients.
With many teaching and speaking engagements, I am skilled at explaining complex legal matters in a way that everyone can understand. I have been recognized by both clients and peers with an AV Preeminent 5.0/5.0 rating. Additionally, I have been honored as a Super Lawyer since 2005, and among Best Lawyers in America since 2013.
