I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and am a graduate of UC Davis and University of San Francisco School of Law.. Straight out of law school, I founded Modlin Legal, which back then was a freelance law practice: I did the work that other attorneys had no time for. I built that business up on referrals only, and worked for numerous small firms and solo practitioners across the whole state of California, in many different practice areas.. In January of 2010, I stopped freelancing and Modlin Legal became a full service estate planning firm. I specialize exclusively on clients whose net worth is under $5m. I have developed a very efficient 3-meeting planning process. I always offer free consultations, and strive to work for flat fees, whenever possible. The firm is nearly completely paperless, utilizes the latest cloud-based technology, and was just certified as a Santa Clara County Green Business.. My goal is to make estate planning affordable, accessible, and less intimidating. Please contact me for a free consultation.

My name is Alex Biddle and I am the founder of Biddle Law, a law firm dedicated to estate planning, probate and trust law. Please browse my website to learn more about how your experience with me will be a simple and cost-effective process.. I am a thoughtful, hard-working attorney who was initially attracted to estate planning through love of family. My goal is to provide an unsurpassed level of customer satisfaction in order to foster a long-term relationship. The majority of my work is billed on a flat-fee basis—at very competitive rates—so you can proceed with certainty, knowing that you are getting a great deal. Other law firms bill exclusively by the hour, charging you hundreds of dollars simply for asking questions.. If we proceed on a flat-fee basis, my prices include as much time as you need to ask me questions so that you understand your estate plan. I will also take time with you to fund your trust—i.e., make sure that the trust owns your property. Without proper trust funding, your trust will not do what you intended it to. Many law firms gloss over this point, and when the time comes to funding your trust, you are on your own.. I understand that estate planning presents difficult issues for people to face, but the fact that you are reading this right now tells me that you understand the importance of estate planning. Estate planning is a necessary process that will protect the financial security of your family and loved ones by allowing you to decide what will happen with your property and health decisions.

I received a B.S. in 1999, an M.S. in 2003, and a J.D. in 2012 all from Indiana University.. I am admitted to practice law in California (licensed in 2016) and am currently inactive in Indiana (licensed in 2012).
