About Alexandra
Biography
Alex is an attorney licensed to practice law in California and Nevada. Alex’s firm is based out of Placentia, California, but she also sees clients in Long Beach. Alex prides herself in a comprehensive estate planning approach and on excellent customer service. From in-person to phone meetings, her clients always work directly with her, never seeing a paralegal or support staff member. This is reflected in Alex’s 5-star client reviews and awards.
Before starting her practice, Alex worked as an attorney at the District Attorney's Office and represented the State in foster care proceedings. This experience helped Alex see first-hand the consequences of not naming guardians for minor children or planning for incapacity. Alex graduated cum laude from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law. After law school, Alex earned her law license in Nevada and California and served as the judicial law clerk for the Honorable Judge Kathleen Delaney.
During law school, Alex was awarded a merit-based scholarship after her first semester and the Eglet Wall Law Scholarship for Outstanding Academic Achievement during her second year. Alex was also awarded a CALI Excellence award for the highest grade in her legal writing class and a best brief award during the Wagner National moot court competition. During law school, Alex founded the Child Advocacy Law Association and was also honored with the Public Interest Law Student of Distinction Award.
When Alex isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and young children. Her family means everything to her. Because Alex understands the immense, unquantifiable love that parents feel for their children and family, she started her own firm and helps others protect everything they own and everyone they love.

Great Estate Trust Lawyer!
It was a great experience working with Alex. It is really nerve wracking trying to get a Estate Trust. Alex took the time to explain what it was, what she could do, the options she offered, and did it all while pregnant without ever making us feel like we were anything but her top priority. She took ...
