Conveniently situated on K Street in Modesto, Leguria Law has assisted generations of Central Valley families in preserving hard-earned wealth and establishing lasting legacies. Founded by attorney Gina Leguria, who was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1999, the firm was born out of a personal commitment to help others navigate complex legal transitions. After experiencing her own family's four-and-a-half-year struggle through California probate court following her father's death, Gina dedicated her practice to helping clients bypass preventable legal hurdles through comprehensive, proactive estate planning.

Protecting Family Wealth and Avoiding Costly Probate

By establishing revocable living trusts, advance health care directives, and durable powers of attorney, the firm ensures that medical and financial decisions remain firmly in trusted hands if incapacity or unexpected death occurs.
