Meticulous Wills and Probate Administration

Without properly executed estate documents, California state law determines who inherits your property and who cares for your children. Our skilled wills lawyers and probate lawyers provide the peace of mind that comes with knowing your final wishes are legally enforceable. When a family member passes away, we assist executors and administrators with the complexities of probate court, ensuring that the estate is settled efficiently, debts are resolved, and assets are distributed in strict accordance with the law. We also prepare durable powers of attorney for finances and advanced healthcare directives to protect you in the event of temporary or permanent incapacity.

Comprehensive Civil Litigation and Consumer Law Advocacy

In addition to our extensive probate and trust practice, we offer powerful representation in general civil litigation, consumer law, and contract disputes. Lynn Sherrell spent over a decade practicing in prestigious San Francisco law firms handling complex litigation before opening her Berkeley solo practice. This deep litigation background allows us to represent your interests aggressively when disputes arise over business contracts, insurance claims, or property rights. When you hire an estate planning lawyer who also possesses extensive courtroom experience, you gain a versatile advocate who is ready to protect your interests in any setting.
