John Palley is the lead probate attorney and who you will work with personally. However, other attorneys may help out to ensure your case navigates the probate process as efficiently as possible.
For example, Evelyn Skall, was a probate Court attorney at the Sacramento Superior Court (probate division) for over 20 years before joining our firm in semi-retirement. She advised the Judges on upcoming probate hearings during those years at the Court and helped shape our probate department to be the best! Prepare yourself to be impressed with our knowledge and efficiency!
The firm was founded by two attorneys, Robert Fort and Morgan Johnson, on the core belief of providing top notch legal services with reasonable legal fees. While the firm has continued to meet those core beliefs, our lawyers have also added efficiency and client service to our core.
We will provide you top notch legal services with extremely reasonable legal fees, and at the same time provide you with the top shelf client service that our clients have learned to expect; the “white glove” treatment if you will. Additionally, you can expect to receive efficient replies to emails and calls, meetings set on short notice and legal work done when we say it will be done.
For all your legal matters on probate matters and trust petitions including the Heggstad petition, contact us today. We are available through phone call, toll free at 800-965-1106, or through our online contact form. Don’t face the complex process of probate at such difficult times alone.
