Hackard Law’s Probate, Trust and Estate Litigation Practice group is a team of attorneys recognized for their experience and success as litigators in the field of probate, trusts, and estates. We represent people and we remember it. Probate, trusts and estates issues involve people – people often stressed by the loss of a loved one and the pain of a family in dispute.
Our firm has assisted individuals and families in Sacramento and throughout California-especially Los Angeles and Santa Clara-with estate planning needs since 1983. Founding attorney Michael A. Hackard has represented members of the Forbes 400, as well as professional athletes and a number of families with complex asset protection issues.
Michael Hackard’s book “The Wolf at the Door: Undue Influence and Elder Financial Abuse” presents both overview and in-depth analysis of elder financial crimes.
At Hackard Law, we understand the importance of earning our clients’ trust. We do this by providing experienced legal counsel that is tailored to suit each client’s unique needs. Our commitment to every client is evident in our accessibility, as well as our clear and constant communication from the initial consultation through the resolution of each case.
We provide both individuals and businesses with accomplished representation in a broad array of practice areas — from estate, trust and probate litigation, complex and comprehensive estate planning, and elder financial abuse cases to personal injury lawsuits, business and civil litigation, and real estate issues.
