My name is Brian Qualls. I’ve been a licensed California attorney for almost 15 years now.. I’m different than a lot of other attorneys. Our firm’s mission is to make the law easy for our clients. For me, that starts with focusing exclusively in the area of trust and estate law. It’s a dream law practice for me in many ways, one I have spent my entire career figuring out and refining.. After graduating with distinction from McGeorge School of law in 2004, I practiced as a junior trial lawyer for business and civil cases for one of the larger firms in Sacramento. It was fun work at times, but the lifestyle just wasn’t for me. In fact, I used to sit and dream at my desk about going out on my own and working on important personal matters with my clients, such as drafting trusts and wills so their estates would be organized in a way that doesn’t leave a burden behind for loved ones, and leaves a truly positive legacy instead.. Soon thereafter, I stepped out on my own and started learning everything I could about how to work with clients on their trust and estate matters. I joined the premier national association of estate planning attorneys, and purchased training and other resources from the top minds and practitioners in the industry. Then, after practicing on my own for a while, I was fortunate to receive the opportunity to work inside three well established estate planning law firms. While at these firms, I received hands on training from some of the most distinguished and respected specialist attorneys in California before ultimately going back out on my own again (which has always been the right fit for me).. The result of all of the above experiences is that I’ve attained a level of knowledge and expertise in the area of trust and estate law that few attorneys have. That experience includes personally drafting nearly 1,000 California living trusts and wills. I’m at a sweet spot in my career where I know what I’m doing, and believe I still have a long time left to continue to do it.. My associations include serving as a board member for the Young Lawyers Association, and membership in local trusts and estate sections of the California Bar. I’ve also served my community by given hundreds of presentations, including educational seminars for the Alzheimer’s Association, as well as local associations of financial and tax advisors, banks, and real estate professionals.. I choose to practice only in the area of trust and estate law because it allows me to work alongside great clients to help them protect what they love. When a client hires us, they have a lifelong relationship with me. I don’t bill by the hour. My clients know there is never a charge to speak to me or email me throughout their lifetimes, and that any work I do for them over the years will be for a flat fee that we agree upon in advance. My goal is to be my client’s personal attorney for life.

Mrs. Springer has been an attorney since 2000. She concentrates her practice in special education law. Mrs. Springer started her practice as a construct defect litigation attorney. In 2006, after her son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, her focus changed. Mrs. Springer knows what it is like to be a parent advocating for services during meetings with district staff. Mrs. Springer believes the heart of every special education case is the student who has a disability which is impacting his or her academic performance. She believes it is important for parents, advocates, and districts to communicate in a way which results in a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to the student. In order to provide FAPE to the student, the school district, parents, and any advocates must have an understanding of rights and limitations under laws such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and related California laws and regulations. Mrs. Springer’s work ranges from writing, consultation, and workshops covering issues such IEP team meetings, mediation, and due process hearings to state compliance and OCR complaints. Mrs. Springer is familiar with the broad range of issues that arise, from determination of a child’s eligibility for special education, to negotiating for an appropriate in-district program, to securing public funding for a private school placement. She has also been able to advocate for continued services through a charter school allowing for homeschooling to be an option.
