Estate Planning Services

My wife & I met with David to assist us with Estate planning and the drafting of a will, living trust, and other associated documents. Our experience meeting with David was that he was very knowledgeable, trustworthy and personable. He discussed our various options and made sure we understood the ram...ifications of various decisions. His turnaround on preparation of the documents was impressive and really quick. He was accomodating in meeting with us on short notice to complete the documents and arrange signing. Overall we were pleased with the services we were provided and would have no hesitation in recommending David to others.

Start-Up Business Client

I worked with David over the course of 1 year on formation of my start-up restaurant. My primary concerns were having an attorney who was well-rounded, I could trust and would inform me "start to finish" on legal aspects of my business launch. David exceeded my expectations and I would highly recomm...end him to others.

Professional, Responsive, Affordable

I worked with David on forming a living trust for my wife and my self. He was upfront with us about what the process would take, and his response time and he was true to his word. I have called him a few times since we completed our trust and he answered basic questions for me at no cost. I would ...recommend David to anyone who is looking to avoid probate.

"I went to law school at the University of San Diego with David. Even as both of us were embarking on our professional journies in law, it was apparent to me that David was going to be an exceptional attorney. This was, in part, because David possessed an impressive knowledge and understanding of the law, and could communicate complex issues in a clear and understandable way. Further, David is an individual of integrity, honesty and excellent moral character. I am proud to know David, and would recommend him to you without hesitation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
