California Medi-Cal Attorney
When you have unresolved legal issues involving estate planning or probate matters, you want an experienced lawyer to help you understand your options. If you or a loved one needs nursing home care, but can only afford it with assistance from the Medi-Cal program, you want a knowledgeable attorney to help protect your interests, so that you do not lose your estate after your death.
I have focused my practice exclusively on estate planning, probate and trust administration, and Medi-Cal issues for over 10 years. As a sole practitioner, I handle all matters related to your case, working directly with you at all times. I answer all my own phone calls and usually take my phone with me on vacation, so that you always have access when you have questions or concerns.

Salinas Estate Planning Attorney
I provide comprehensive counsel in matters involving:
- Estate planning. I will help you determine the best strategy for the orderly distribution of assets upon death. I will also prepare and execute all necessary documents, including wills, trusts, real property deeds, powers of attorney and advance medical directives.
- Wills and trusts. I will help you determine whether a will or a trust makes the most sense for you. I prepare most types of trusts, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, living and testamentary trusts, and family and special needs trusts.
- Probate and trust administration. I work with trustees to ensure that trust provisions are followed and that all other legal requirements are met. I also advise executors, administrators and personal representatives, helping you complete the steps necessary to settle the estate of a loved one.
- Medi-Cal issues. I advise individuals and their families when a person needs nursing home care but can only afford it with assistance from the Medi-Cal program. I will help you determine whether you qualify, how much you will have to contribute and set up planning to avoid a Medi-Cal recovery of your assets after death.
