A few aspects of my practice that I emphasize include:
- Probate is what I do: Unlike many other firms, I exclusively focus my practice on California probate. I have dedicated myself to helping people efficiently and effectively navigate the California probate process.
- I work with you anytime, anywhere: From my California office, I work with people across the state and others throughout the country. Many of my clients reside outside California, looking to resolve California probate matters.
- You work with me: When you call me, you talk to me. I believe in the value of working closely with people, building trust and professional relationships. From start to finish, you will have my full attention as we work together.
These are some of the matters that I handle for probate clients:
- California probate of a formal will.
- California probate with no will (California intestate succession).
- California ancillary probate. (person dies out of state owning property in California).
- Independent administration of California probate estates.
- Special California estate administration.
- California spousal property petitions.
- Assistance with settlement of creditor claims against the California estate.

- Determining entitlement to California probate distribution of California assets.
- Dealing with personal property left by the person who died. This might include cars, boats, and motor homes located in California.
I have assisted many families with their California probate legal rights and options. Because California probate law is complex, it is important that you retain a qualified probate attorney and not try it alone. If you wish to gain more information on California probate or if you need the general assistance of a probate lawyer, please contact me for a free consultation. I will spend time with you to answer your questions. You can reach me by phone at (760) 989-4820 , by email at wksweeney@gmail.com or through my online contact form.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
