Our media appearances, status as a California Super Lawyer and Martindale Hubbell peer reviewed rating of AV Preeminent 5.0 out of 5, the highest rating possible, all speak to our reputation. With 25 years of experience, our attorneys can help with your real estate investing or estate planning matter.
Michelle Lerman, one of the partners in Lerman Law Partners, is frequently asked to speak about estate planning. You may have heard her on the radio as well. To put together a solid estate plan is to provide for the future of your loved ones. Without it, the government dictates how your property is distributed and the courts may pick a guardian for your children.
During speaking or media engagements, we often talk about the cycle of real estate investment and that our attorneys can help at any point in the cycle. Involving an experienced real estate investor lawyer from the inception of a project is crucial to minimize that risk - from forming an ownership entity to dealing with contractors, tenants and the government.

Lerman Law Partners provided excellent counsel on the First Reinstatement of our 25 year-old Revocable Trust. Their knowledge of current estate planning issues and their patience, professionalism and persistence in guiding us through the process couldn't have been better. We offer our personal seal-of-approval.

We are appreciative of the services provided by the firm and highly recommend using them. It benefited my family as a result of the passing of Proposition 19 in San Francisco last November. I had previously not used this firm and it was recommended to me when my attorney was too busy to take on our matter.
The initial meeting led us to a strategy and we decided to move forward with engaging the firm. The engagement started with a short fused deadline and the members of the team responded to meeting this deadline. Throughout the engagement, everyone that we dealt with were courteous and professional

My husband and I worked with Lerman Law Partners to put together a trust and estate planning documents. We had no knowledge of the process but our team at Lerman Law walked us through the process and were readily available to answer any questions we had along the way. The team was so pleasant to work with throughout the entire process and we are so happy to have peace of mind knowing we have plans in place for our children should anything happen to us. We highly recommend Lerman Law for your estate planning needs.

Our experience with Lerman Law Partners for the setting up of a will, trust and advanced directives was stellar in every way. Each professional we worked with was kind, informative and responsive. I would say that this team is very customer-focused and really answered all questions we had and offered practical and useful guidance. Happy to be clients now (and moving forward) and would recommend this firm to anyone.

Dan Dersham is worth his salt. Dan helped us negotiate an early termination out of a commercial lease. We had used another attorney previously, and the difference is night-and-day. If we had used Dan from the beginning, we probably would've had the outcome that we wanted from the get-go. Dan was very thorough, creative with solutions, tenacious and persistent when pushing back on terms. He was always accessible and responsive. He also patiently listened, and answered our many many questions, helping us understand possible outcomes and worst-case scenarios. Having all the answers up front gave us
