Business 35%

We represent a number of small and medium sized companies who turn to us for the varied business legal needs, including acquisitions of other companies, contract formation and negotiation, employer-employee matters, secured interests, and other legal needs arising in the business context.

Estate Planning 30%

We regularly assist clients in forming "integrated estate plans", with a living trust at the core of the plan. Our planning also includes recommendations in regards to tax deferred retirement plans (e.g., IRAs, 401Ks, etc).

30%
Probate 15%

My thorough experience in the courts as a trial lawyer plus my substantive knowledge of estates makes me particularly suited for handling probate matters. It is unfortunate enough that a client finds himself or herself in probate, so we strive to proceed efficiently and cost effectively so as to minimize the risk of further burden for the client.

22 years | 10 cases

15%
Partnership 10%

We regularly advise general and limited partnerships, as well as LLCs and corporations, in connection with formation of the business, structure of the business, ownership issues, complying with fiduciary duties, buyouts of owners, and dissolution of businesses.

31 years | 100 cases

Appeals 5%

Having worked at the Court of Appeal and having briefed and argued a number of appeals before the California Court of Appeal in Orange County and Los Angeles County, California, I am well suited to advise in connection with appellate matters where the need arises.

31 years | 30 cases

Having served as first chair trial attorney in 13 cases and having worked up more than 100-150 other cases which settled before trial, I am proficient in counseling and advocating for my clients through all stages of litigation and trial.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Given that my practice focuses on intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc.), many of my clients end up needing to form a business around their ideas. Daryl has continued to fill that need for my clients and does so with the same level of competency, quality, and personal attention that I strive to provide in my own practice; so I know that any clients I send his way will be well taken care of. It truly is a pleasure to work with Daryl."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
