It is one of our goals to help you manage your legal risks. For example, we are not tax , family law, trusts and estates, or probate attorneys. Should a need for these types of legal services be identified, we will refer you to other legal counsel who represent that they specialize in these fields. We do not take fees for these referrals. It is our belief that affordable quality legal services should be available to all legal businesses and professions regardless of public perceptions of morality.
Lawyers are advocates.
Each of our attorneys must complete continuing legal education to assure that our skills are updated and in compliance with California law. In fact, our attorneys have been called upon to teach other lawyers in continuing legal education classes. They are involved in local community projects and outreach. Our attorneys have assisted at local elementary schools, at the Battered Woman's Alternative, with United Way projects, and with local service organizations. Our attorneys have also acted as court-appointed arbitrators and judges pro tempore , and have served on local bar association committees dedicated to increasing access to legal services and oversight of the quality of legal services in Contra Costa County. .
