Areas We Serve
One lawyer, licensed in two states.
I’m licensed throughout California and Ohio, and estate planning travels well. Many of the people I help no longer drive, or would rather not drive far to see a lawyer, so we meet by phone or by video. When a meeting belongs in person, I come to you by appointment: at your kitchen table, in a hospital room, or at your bank when it’s time to open an account in the name of your trust.
Most of the families I work with live near the places I call home in each state. These are the towns where I do most of my work, and each has its own page. If yours isn’t here, I can still help, anywhere in California or Ohio.

Brea
The Country Fair has filled City Hall Park every Fourth of July since about 1980, pancake breakfast first.
Fullerton
The 1930 Santa Fe Depot still does the job it was built for: Amtrak and Metrolink trains stop there every day.
La Habra
El Cholo opened here in 1962 as a take-out counter in Chantry Square; the maple tables inside came from the old La Habra Inn.
La Habra Heights
The Hass avocado started here, with one tree a mail carrier named Rudolph Hass planted in 1926.
Whittier
Arturo and Gloria Lopez brought the puffy taco from San Antonio, and the doors on Leffingwell stayed open.
Placentia
The Heritage Parade fills Kraemer Boulevard every October; the 60th marched in 2025.
Yorba Linda
On the Fourth of July, the whole town seems to land at Veterans Park at once.
Anaheim
The Halloween Parade has marched downtown since 1924, and Babe Ruth once served as its Grand Marshal.
Ohio
Medina
The gazebo on Public Square went up in 1975, a copy of the 1879 gazebo in Bellville.
Seville
Home, where my girls go for Skoops’ homemade custard on Main Street, a few doors down from Sparky’s pickle pizza.
Wadsworth
Since 1972 the Blue Tip Festival has opened each summer with a giant match lit at Memorial Park.

Luigi’s has been downtown since 1949.
