I help families protect their loved ones and their assets by simplifying the estate planning process so they can live their life knowing their wishes will be carried out after they pass away.
Hi there! I’m Jolene. I’ve been an attorney for about 20 years. I now run a primarily virtual firm so I can help people throughout the state of California!
When I was in law school I almost didn’t take Wills & Trusts as I thought it sounded boring. My counselor begged me to take it as it was two of the thirteen subjects on the Bar Exam. So I took it. And I LOVED it! In fact, I received the top score in the class!
One of the things I love best about helping people with their estate plan is seeing and hearing about the relief they feel when it’s all done. They feel so much more relaxed! It seriously lifts a great burden they didn’t even know they were carrying.
I also love helping people who have trouble figuring out how to unequally yet fairly distribute their assets. If you are overwhelmed by some difficult choices, don’t worry! I can help. Don’t let that delay the rest of your estate plan.

Jolene responded to a message of mine very quickly and did not hesitate to chat with me about what I was needing. She e...
