Planning Kills Anxiety!. We spend a lot of time educating and helping our clients plan tailored estate strategies.. First, We begin with education. Explaining in plain English, or as close as we can, the various tools and resources we'll use to design a plan. With the goal of giving you enough information to make an educated decision when we make our recommendations on the design of your plan.. Then, we listen and ask questions. We want to know about you, your family, your goals, your hopes, your expectations, and your personality. We ask questions to dig deeper and to explore the "what if's" that can sometimes throw wrenches into the best of plans.. Lastly, we make our recommendations and begin to design the plan of your choice. While most of our clients' follow our recommendations, sometimes you may want to take a more risky approach or a more defined approach than what we recommended. That is great! At the end of the day, our core belief is that we design the plan our client wants... because, the bottom line is, it is your plan, not ours.. In addition to estate planning (wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary deeds, medical directives, etc.), we also assist clients with estate administration. Usually, estate administration means either going through the probate process in the county courts, or managing the administration of a Trust. These processes can be scary for someone who has never had to deal with them before. So, we act as a guide through the process. Helping you understand the whats and hows; as well as drafting required legal documents to protect you from liabilities that can arise during the respective process.. We're here to help, give us a call if you need help.

I live and work in Simi Valley and have been practicing here since 1999.. I love practicing law in Simi Valley and providing my community with personal, attentive, and experienced legal services, with integrity and effective advocacy.. In 2006 I started my own practice in Simi Valley, and my practice now serves all of Ventura County and parts of Los Angeles County. My practice specializes in estate planning, trust administration, and probate.  I am also an experience business attorney and can help you establish or wind down your business, including corporations, partnerships, and LLCs.  I also enjoy a busy practice in the area of real property transactions.. Prior to law school, I worked in the public service sector from 1987 to 1994, first in a U.S. Congressional office, and thereafter as community outreach coordinator for the City of Los Angeles, Environmental Affairs Department.. I graduated from Southwestern University, magna cum laude, in 1997.. In 1997, I joined the firm of Lynberg & Watkins in downtown Los Angeles. There, I worked on complex multimillion dollar environmental insurance litigation cases.. I wanted to work in my community of Ventura County and also serve the public interest and so in 1998, I joined the Ventura County District Attorney's office as a Deputy District Attorney, prosecuting a range of cases in which I gained valuable and substantial courtroom experience, including prosecuting a multitude of jury trials. As a Deputy District Attorney, I was called to prepare witness testimony and other evidence through which I sharpened my communication and advocacy abilities that have continued to serve me well even as I transitioned to civil practice in late 1999. From that time I have practiced in Simi Valley continually.. In late 1999, I joined the Law Offices of William J. Waters in Simi Valley. There, I worked independently on a range of civil cases including business litigation, real property, neighbor disputes, family law, bankruptcy, medical malpractice, and estate planning. I also conducted all of the firm's trials and also all cases that went to the appellate court.

Our main office is located in Miami, in the Aventura area, and we represent clients throughout South Florida in homeowners insurance and first party property lawsuits, personal injury, and general civil litigation. We also provide Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning services, small business consulting and general counsel services.. I opened The Dempsey Law Firm, P.A., so that I could provide the kind of personal service and connection that clients need, want, and deserve as they deal with trying times and the legal system.. Attorneys can be fast paced, fast talkers who find it hard to make complex litigation concepts relatable to the legally inexperienced client, and so we try to make sure that communication and explanation are at the forefront of our client service model.. I practice with professionalism, I'm detail oriented, and I place a premium on producing quality work in the goal of obtaining the positive results on behalf of the client, and keeping them informed all the way through.. We also offer alternative fee arrangements and means of representing our clients, as we know that not all clients have the means to obtain meaningful representation in the legaly system. To that end, we accept ARAG Legal Insurance, and are happy to offer free consultations for all prospective clients.. When not working, I can be found spending time with my family and our dogs.. I'm available for a free consultation by appointment only, submit the form below, email me at , or give us a call.

I enjoy the interaction with people where I can explain something that may seem complex in a way that helps them understand. As a former teacher, I do enjoy those ah-ha moments where things click. I enjoy talking with clients and getting to know them and their situation, so that I can find the best possible solutions for their needs. I believe that effective estate planning is a critical component of my client’s life planning.. I believe that family fights over inheritance are unnecessary and wasteful. Families achieve better outcomes through planning rather than fighting. While it is impossible to prevent people from fighting, I discuss with my clients issues that may exist and try to implement solutions now to problems that may later turn into litigation.. As an estate planning attorney, I strive to help you plan for the unknown catastrophes, the known eventualities, and everything in between. By planning, you can gain peace of mind that your loved ones are taken care of in the best way if something should happen to you. As part of the process, I listen to my clients to understand their goals and needs. Using this information, we create solutions to their unique problems. I use many different estate planning tools, like trusts, wills, and powers of attorney, to create client-centered solutions.. I communicate clearly and without legalese, so clients are empowered to make the best decisions for their situations. Together, we can work to make sure that we not only create a plan that incorporates the clients goal’s but that we implement the plan, so when your estate plan is executed it is successful.. To stay up-to-date with the latest developments I am a member of the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys, and a member of WealthCounsel. WealthCounsel is a national community of estate planning professionals committed to the highest standards. It is a collaborative organization that has seminars and webinars to provide me with the latest tools and ideas..
