Our staff is bilingual in English and Spanish.

We are conveniently located to the I-15 freeway in Rancho Bernardo and accessible by bus or car.

How do we compare on price?
We have talked to our colleagues, and from what they tell us, we charge lower attorney and paralegal rates than many law firms do, while not charging clients for some of the cost items that some law firms do.

We do not charge for costs which most other attorneys charge for: copying; postage; parking; mileage; copying and fax.

We Go Above and Beyond.

We are committed to providing excellent care for our clients. Knowledge really is power, so we continually provide information you need - to make important life decisions.

Given the current economy, the changes in long term care planning, and the risks for not planning early, our website and other writing contains information to help you prepare for the future.

It's our job to help you preserve your wealth and to protect your assets.

We share news with you to protect your rights and to help you try to obtain your legal goals of estate planning. The goal is to leave more of your assets for your beneficiaries. Only with planning can you have your wishes stated and followed.

We can set things up so that our assets are left to those we love (and those we choose to leave items to). Without planning, the wealth we accumulated is diverted to attorneys, administrators, accountants, appraisers, court costs and others. Planning is key.

None of us like to think of our own mortality. However only with planning can we think of what we want to happen with our estate. Without planning, the assets we accumulated most certainly go to attorneys, administrators, accountants, appraisers, court costs and others.
