Practice areas
Most people arrive here for exactly one thing.
Find yours below, then call the office about it directly.
Divorce and family law
Dissolution and legal separation, custody and visitation, child and spousal support, and the modifications and enforcement that come afterward. Family matters filed in Fresno County are heard at the Fresno County Superior Court, and they run on deadlines: if you have been served with papers or you are holding a hearing notice, have it in front of you when you call.
Call about a family law matter →Probate
Settling an estate after someone dies: opening the case, giving notice to heirs and creditors, inventorying and appraising what the estate holds, handling debts and taxes, and closing it out so property can finally be distributed. It is a long, paperwork-heavy process arriving at a hard time, and most families would rather not run it alone.
Call about a probate matter →Wills, trusts, and estate planning
Putting your wishes in writing while it is still your decision: a will, a revocable living trust, powers of attorney, and an advance health care directive, so the people you leave behind are not guessing in a courthouse hallway. Worth revisiting after a marriage, a divorce, a birth, a death, or a move into or out of California.
Call about estate planning →Not sure which one you need? That is a normal place to start. Describe the situation on the phone and the office will tell you whether it is something they handle. Call (559) 394-1280.
Getting started
What the first call looks like
- Call the office, or send the short form above. Reach the office at (559) 394-1280, Monday through Friday. The form reaches the same place; it is there for after hours and for people who would rather write it down.
- Say what happened and what the deadline is. Court dates, response deadlines, and notice periods drive almost everything in family law and probate, so lead with those.
- Ask about consultations and fees on that first call. Different matters are handled differently, so ask directly how the firm charges for yours and what a first appointment involves before you commit to anything.
- Bring your paperwork to the appointment. Anything you have already been served with, filed, or signed: petitions, notices, orders, deeds, a will or trust, account statements.
