When we first opened our doors in 1995, we decided that the best way to practice was by becoming experts in a single area of the law - estate planning. The firm has grown over the last 20 years, and we are the largest trusts and estates law firm in Orange County, but our philosophy has never changed.

With five partners certified as specialists in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law by the State Bar of California, four attorneys with their Masters of Laws in either taxation or estate planning and two attorneys with extensive experience working at the Internal Revenue Service, we provide superior client service in all aspects of estate planning from both basic and advanced estate tax planning, including business succession and charitable planning, through the trust administration and probate processes, as well as representation of beneficiaries, trustees and individuals in court and in front of the Internal Revenue Service.

Eric is absolutely fantastic to work with, and I wouldn't want to do estate planning with anyone else.

Critical: Professionalism
Anson cain, an employee doesn't return email messages. It doesn't get any more unprofessional than that.

Colleen Barney untangled the mess of a former by-pass trust for our family and did it with patience, efficiency, good humor, and even managed to charm my crusty old 97-year-old mother.

Rick Albrecht is very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions patiently, and his prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend him for any legal services around trusts.

Colleen Barney dispels all the cliches about lawyers. She is efficient, helpful, thorough, extremely principled, honest and pleasant. I don't know what we would have done without her and her firm.
