For a variety of reasons, clients may not want to retain an attorney, but want to make sure their forms and documents are prepared correctly and professionally. I prepare the forms and documents the same as if I was representing you.

Welcome

I, Brett A. Gilman, have been licensed to practice law in the state of California and in private practice since 1993. During this time, I have handled numerous estate planning, probate, and related matters.

I personally handle every case. I believe in direct contact with my clients to fully understand their needs and wishes. This means I will talk with and meet clients personally, prepare all forms and documents myself, and personally appear in court to represent them.

I work hard to carefully explain the law and the process so each client understands what is happening and to minimize surprises. I make it a point to educate my clients and answer all their questions.

I believe the best results come when client and attorney work together as a team. An informed client understands what is happening and is prepared to make decisions for their future.

I believe in integrity and in providing personal service at competitive fees. I look forward to hearing from you.

My practice areas include

  • Wills and Trusts
  • Estate Planning
  • Probate
  • Trust Administration

Focused Services with a Clear Purpose

I no longer take family law cases, but I still offer document preparation and am happy to answer questions by phone.

After more than 30 years in practice, I’ve shifted my focus entirely to probate, wills, trusts, and estate planning. I no longer accept clients for divorce, custody, support, or litigation, but I do offer document preparation for those matters at $250 per hour. If you have a legal question or need quick guidance, I’m happy to help over the phone.
