A different kind
of counsel.

01
Dual CA & NV Licensure

For Tahoe-area clients with assets, property, or family across state lines — one firm, both states, no referrals.

Boutique Attention

You speak directly with your attorney from consultation through signing. No hand-offs. No paralegal drafting your future.

Business & Real Estate Depth

We account for the complete picture — your Tahoe holdings, STR portfolio, commercial assets, and business interests.

04
Rooted in the Sierra Nevada

We understand the unique complexity of mountain-area property, multi-state exposure, and the Tahoe region's legal landscape.

How It Works

Simple. Thoughtful.
Thorough.

Four steps from first conversation to a complete, executed estate plan — designed around your life, not our workflow.

A confidential conversation about your family, assets, and intentions. No forms, no pressure.

Plan Design

We design a customized plan for your circumstances. Every provision considered. Nothing from a template.

03
Review & Refine

We walk through every document together and refine until the plan reflects your wishes precisely.

04
Sign & Secure

Proper execution, notarization, and asset funding guidance — so your plan works when needed most.
