Firm: Gray & Barba LLP

1329 E Thousand Oaks Blvd Ste 215 , Thousand Oaks , California 91362

Practice Areas: Estate Planning

Married to my law school sweetheart, I live with my husband and our three delightful daughters in Ventura County.  When not consulting with clients or home schooling my daughters, you can find me doting on my two beautiful standard poodles or volunteering with my entire family at a Christian Legal Aid clinic.. I began my legal career as a business litigator, representing large corporate clients after graduating from the UCLA School of Law in 1999.  Motherhood, as well as my heart for families and our diverse community inspired me, however, to transition my practice to estate planning.  I now devote myself to providing clear and compassionate legal counsel, in both English and Spanish, to clients desiring to protect their legacies for the sake of their loved ones.. An estate plan not only provides for the disposition of one’s assets upon passing, but perhaps more importantly, also nominates guardians for one’s minor children in the event of an untimely death.  Advanced health care directives, powers of attorney, and revocable trusts also protect one and one’s family in the event of incapacity.. Do not allow a court to make deeply personal, life-altering decisions for your loved ones through blind enforcement of intestacy laws, unintended guardianship decrees, and costly probate proceedings.  Though you may have passed on, your spouse, children and heirs could be left behind with significant costs, burdens, and court orders that you never intended for them.. If you need to prepare your estate plan or to update your current estate plan, I encourage you to wait no longer.  Please call me.  I would love to help protect your legacy.

I spent the better part of my life working for litigation law firms. I started my career in law as a file clerk before going to law school and becoming a lawyer. I was blessed with many great mentor's, all of whom were litigators, and I planned to follow in their footsteps. But all that changed when one of them suddenly passed away.. Although he was a successful attoney with a family, he didn't have a plan in place. Without a plan in place, the family began the slow and painful process of navigating through the probate process. After seeing the devestation and impact it had, I left the life of civil litigation practice and opened my own firm dedicated to protecting families and helping them avoid the turmoil of failing to plan.. I've helped hundreds of clients create meaningful plans that will not only protect themselves, but also their families and finances. My clients have the freedom and peace of mind of knowing that regardless of what happens tomorrow their family will be taken care of.
