When a loved one passes away, his or her estate often goes through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration where the assets of the deceased are managed and distributed. If your loved-one owned his or her assets through a well drafted and properly funded living trust, it is likely that no court-managed administration is necessary, though the successor trustee needs to administer the distribution of the deceased's assets.
Estate planning, contrary to some popular misconceptions, is not limited in scope to serve the extremely wealthy, nor does it focus only on death. Estate planning is actually a map for the future, designed to address your personal needs, goals, and desires in terms of retirement, business succession, distribution of wealth, and caring for those you love.
Buying or selling a home is probably the most significant financial transaction that anyone undertakes in their lifetime. While this can be an exciting time, without the proper legal guidance, the process can be frustrating, overwhelming and more expensive than necessary.
Even if there are no obvious disagreements between the Buyer and Seller it is advisable for each party to enter into real estate transactions with their own attorney who can help steer them away from common pitfalls and make the transaction an enjoyable experience.We represent Buyers, Sellers and Financial Institutions from drafting a Purchase and Sale Contract through obtaining the final Title Insurance Policy.

The decision to file for bankruptcy is often one of the hardest choices that a person has to make in their lifetime. Poor planning can often make the process even harder. It goes without saying that filing for bankruptcy should be a last resort, and should only be done when all other methods of satisfying one's financial obligations have been exhausted.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Mr. Fox gave me the straight and narrow and did not try to take my money just to profit. He listened to me and gave me great non-legal advice because my situation didn’t require legal action. I wasn’t sure until I spoke with home. His kindness and professionalism were very much appreciated.

I was not able to get representation from him due to it just being a small claims matter. However, he did give me a lot of helpful tips on how I should handle the case for when I go into court. Since I have no experiences with legal claims or court cases he walked me though exactly what to do as far as where to go, how to file, who to go after, and what to bring to court. He was very understanding and compassionate about my situation. After getting his legal advice I feel a lot more confident about my case coming up!

We were being sued in small claims court for something we didn't do. We were very nervous. We didn't know what to say or how to protect ourselves against a blatant lie.
We got an appointment with Mr. Fox, and he was a tremendous help. He told us what the strengths of our case were, how present it, what the rules in small claims court were, and he answered a million questions. He brought up the things the other side might say and told us how to answer them. He told us how judges think and how to word things to get the judge's attention. He explained how to be patient when the other side is speaking

Quick, friendly, and very knowledgeable about California business law. My wife and I were seeking assistance to move our business from out-of-state. Brian helped get our S-Corp set up quickly and connected us to other local resources in Ventura to get off the ground running. Recommended for any needs related to business law in the state of California.
