Areas of Practice

Estate Planning

Properly prepared and funded trusts are legal instruments that help manage assets, avoid probate court, and ensure orderly estate disposition under California law. I work with settlors, trustees, and beneficiaries throughout Sonoma County and the greater San Francisco Bay Area to provide clear estate planning guidance and explain fiduciary responsibilities and the legal process involved.

Probate Matters

Probate is the court-supervised legal process for administering an estate, resolving obligations, and distributing assets under California law. I guide executors, administrators, and beneficiaries throughout Sonoma County and the greater San Francisco Bay Area through probate court proceedings with clear legal advice focused on efficiency, compliance, and understanding each step of the process.

Mr Lazar is the calm in the storm, the rock to lean on and the wise council in sea of crazy.  He's helped me with business arrangements, legal disputes and even nasty online entanglements.  He's smart, efficient and easy to talk to.  I recommend him highly.

Michael M. San Francisco

Lon is handling my estate planning.

He is thorough, competent, and focused on my best interests as his client. Estate planning ranks right up there with the most important processes one can handle, and I have seen it done terribly wrong. I'm glad I hired someone who respects the high stakes and thinks of all the details.

Thank you, Lon!
