About the attorney
Joseph R. Abdalla, J.D., LL.M.
President and principal attorney of the firm. Estate planning, tax and bankruptcy for individuals, families, business owners and fiduciaries throughout California.
Joseph R. Abdalla is the president and principal attorney of the firm. His practice is estate planning, tax and bankruptcy law, for individuals, families, business owners and fiduciaries.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, then a Juris Doctor from Gonzaga University School of Law and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation from Georgetown University Law Center.
The accounting and tax training is most useful where the practice areas meet: an estate plan with tax consequences, or a tax decision that changes what the estate plan should say. Those are easier to deal with early.
How the firm works
A few things are the same for every client:
- You work with Joseph. He handles your matter from the first meeting to the end.
- Advice for your facts. Two clients with the same question can get different advice, because their facts differ.
- Options and costs. You hear the options, the downside of each, and a recommendation.
- Updates. You know where the matter stands and what happens next.
- Careful drafting. Documents written to hold up when they are needed.
Individuals and families planning for the next generation. Business owners with tax or succession questions. Fiduciaries administering a trust. People facing debt they cannot resolve on their own.
The office is in Newport Beach. Joseph is licensed to practice throughout California and works with clients across the state by phone, video and in person.
A first conversation about your situation and your goals, then a clear recommendation, the fee and the timeline in writing before any work begins.
