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.

Very happy to recommend Marina
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.

Marina is AMAZING!!
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...

Efficient and thoughtful work
Marina set up a trust for me, mostly to hold real estate I’d acquired as a single person. She clearly explained why I needed to do this, and made the process as pain free as estate planning can ever be! Everything was well thought out and the process of signing was clear and easy. Highly recommended....
