I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and am a graduate of UC Davis and University of San Francisco School of Law.
Straight out of law school, I founded Modlin Legal, which back then was a freelance law practice: I did the work that other attorneys had no time for. I built that business up on referrals only, and worked for numerous small firms and solo practitioners across the whole state of California, in many different practice areas.
In January of 2010, I stopped freelancing and Modlin Legal became a full service estate planning firm. I specialize exclusively on clients whose net worth is under $5m. I have developed a very efficient 3-meeting planning process. I always offer free consultations, and strive to work for flat fees, whenever possible. The firm is nearly completely paperless, utilizes the latest cloud-based technology, and was just certified as a Santa Clara County Green Business.
My goal is to make estate planning affordable, accessible, and less intimidating. Please contact me for a free consultation.

I was absolutely certain that I'd already written a review for Modlin Legal, but since I don't see it here I'll assume it was a figment of my imagination! Like many people, my wife and I had put this off for a very long time. Estate and Trust stuff can be scary to people (don't we already spend en...

Marina helped my wife and I setup an estate plan for our family. This was a very positive experience in that she took great care and time to explain the process, intricacies and any special situations that i'm sure come up for all clients. She also took extra time and patience in answering all of our...

Marina helped us to update out trust and wills. She was so professional, knowledgeable and thorough. She managed to keep us focused on the tasks at hand and as a result every document was signed, sealed and delivered in a very timely manner. It was a pleasure working with her.

She handled all the paperwork and filings accurately and perfectly. You could not ask more of an estate planning lawyer. Her prices were reasonable, and...

Nobody really likes to think about wills and trusts, because...you know. Unless they're a passionate probate attorney. Fortunately Marina is just that. Five years ago she led us painlessly to a working estate plan and a trust to make that plan work. Recently she helped us through some time-sensit...
