About us

Hello from your friends at the Meier Law Firm! We understand that planning for life’s “what-ifs” or navigating the challenges after losing a loved one can feel overwhelming and stressful. If you’re feeling unsure about where to start or who to trust, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help. You may be wondering: What will happen to your loved ones, your home, and your accounts if something happens to you—or if you’ve recently experienced the loss of a loved one? How can you ensure your family is protected from unnecessary taxes, legal battles, or other complications? Who can you trust to guide you through this process and provide the peace of mind that your loved ones will be safe and cared for? At the Meier Law Firm, these are exactly the kinds of questions we help families answer every day. Estate planning before and after life’s major events—illness, death, or taxable events—is all we do. We’re dedicated to helping you create a path forward that protects your loved ones, minimizes stress, and brings clarity and peace of mind. But don’t just take our word for it—our clients consistently praise us for our expertise, compassion, and outstanding service.

    I help California families prepare for and navigate major life events with compassion and care.

    Sick Right Now? Let It Be a Wake-Up Call I’m home sick this week, and it’s been a huge reminder of just how much being under the weather can throw life off track. When you’re not feeling well, you can’t help your kids, focus on work, or think clearly enough to handle everything on your plate. Lets even see how this linked in post goes…! This all got me thinking: being sick is temporary for most of us, but what if it wasn’t? What if an illness didn’t go away—or worse, what if we weren’t here anymore? Then what? That’s the real wake-up call. A real illness or unexpected events can happen to any of us, and if they do, being unprepared makes things so much harder for the people we love most. I can’t imagine trying to tackle getting my affairs in order while sick! So here’s what to think about: ✨ Do you have a solid financial plan? Make sure you have the right insurance and budget in place to protect your family if illness or unexpected events hit hard. ✨ Do you have an estate plan that works? A Will isn’t enough to spare your family from the long, costly process of probate. You need a trust-based plan to make sure everything is handled smoothly and an ongoing relationship with the firm to keep things updated. ✨ Do you have an emergency plan for your kids? Without the right legal protections, your kids could face temporary foster care and court delays if something happens to you. ✨ Do you have medical directives in place? If you’re hospitalized, these documents become your voice and ensure your wishes are followed when you can’t advocate for yourself. I KNOW these things are so easy to put off, especially during the holidays! But are you 100% sure you’ll be fine until when you finally get around to tackling this? Let this season that’s rooted in love be a stark reminder of what’s at stake and the push we need to get our plans in place for our family. And don’t forget the most important take away of all: Starbucks is still making the Medicine Ball tea, and it’s getting me through right now! Take care of yourself, and give your family—and yourself—the best gift this holiday season: peace of mind and protection for whatever life may bring. Dm me if you’re not sure how to get started. #newportbeachestateplanninglawyer #meierlawfirm #starbucksmedicineballtea #estateplan #familyfirst
