About John
Biography
I have a background in real estate finance and managed a thrift and loan before attending law school. I started my legal career with a mid-sized (50 attorney) firm in Fresno California, where I practiced in business, real estate, and estate planning law. I returned to my hometown, Paradise, California, in 1994, and formed a partnership (Travers & Rank) with my stepfather, Donald Travers. I became a certified specialist in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law, as certified by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization, in 1998, and have been a sole practitioner since 2000. I have a support staff of four, including two paralegals. I represent a broad range of clients, including farmers, business owners, professionals, and retirees. I am a past president of the North Valley Estate Planning Council, and past president of the Rotary Club of Paradise. I have done various presentations to legal and charitable organizations on issues related to estate planning, elder law, and estate administration. I am committed to my community and my clients. I have three children, all of whom have attended or are attending University of California campuses, and a longtime marriage with my lovely and supportive wife, Sherry.

Very Professional, Easy to Understand
My wife and I set up a living trust with John several years before her sad and unexpected passing. John explained the process of establishing the trust very clearly and, after her death, was very sympathetic and patient in making sure I understood the process going forward of splitting the trust.
