Attorney Serving San Luis Obispo, CA

Legal Services for San Luis Obispo Families and Businesses

Our office is at 1235 Palm St, two blocks from the San Luis Obispo County Courthouse on Monterey Street. Tyler Saldo and Dustin Tardiff are Central Coast natives who built their careers here, and both know the local courts, local judges, and local business landscape in a way that out-of-area firms simply can't.

Estate Planning for San Luis Obispo Residents

San Luis Obispo property values have appreciated dramatically over the past decade. The median home price in the city regularly exceeds $900,000, and properties near Cal Poly, in the Broad Street corridor, and in the Old Town area frequently close above $1.1 million. For any SLO homeowner, that valuation creates significant probate exposure if no trust is in place. California statutory probate fees on a $1 million estate exceed $46,000 in combined attorney and executor fees alone, before court costs, appraisals, and publication. We offer flat-fee trust packages and same-week appointments for SLO residents.

Most everyone needs a trust. Our estate planning attorneys are also litigators who bring courtroom experience to every document they create. See our trusts and estate planning page and our living trusts and wills page for the complete picture. When a loved one has already passed without a trust, our probate team handles the administration.

Personal Injury and Accident Cases in San Luis Obispo

Personal injury cases in San Luis Obispo commonly arise from accidents along Foothill Boulevard near Cal Poly, on Madonna Road near the major shopping centers, at the Highway 101 interchanges at Los Osos Valley Road and Tank Farm Road, and in the downtown pedestrian and bicycle corridor along Higuera Street and Garden Street. We know these intersections and what evidence matters in these locations.

We handle personal injury, auto accidents, and wrongful death cases on a contingency basis: no fee unless we recover. California's two-year statute of limitations for personal injury and six-month government claim deadline make prompt contact important.
