About John
Biography
I am a certified specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law. I handle a wide range of estate planning, trust and probate matters, but a significant amount of my time is spent in post-death matters including probate and trust administration.
I am an active member of the community having served on the local school board, the board for Leadership Morgan Hill as well as the Rotary Club of Morgan Hill.
I believe in returning every phone call and keeping the lines of communication open.

Worth every dollar
I went to this lawyer to extricate me from a tangle caused by another attorney. He saw the issues & solved them within 15 minutes. I want to have this councilor in my side in any involving trusts, wills, estates & elder law.
