About Our Firm
The Pacella Law Group was founded in 2009 with a clear vision: to provide thoughtful, strategic legal guidance that puts families and businesses first. What began as a one-man operation at a bedroom desk has grown into a respected law firm serving clients across California—with a team of dedicated attorneys and legal professionals committed to protecting what matters most.
Our roots are in real relationships. In the early days, our founding attorney Louis Pacella drove hundreds of miles to meet with clients face-to-face—from farmers and ranchers in the Central Valley to business owners across Southern California. Through word-of-mouth referrals and a deep respect for client care, PLG quickly grew from a backyard shed-turned-office into a full-service firm.
Today, The Pacella Law Group has grown to a team of nine, including three full-time attorneys, and operates out of our Calabasas office. But what hasn’t changed is our core mission: to deliver high-level legal planning with empathy, precision, and the competitive edge needed to protect our clients’ futures.
We’re proud of our journey—and even more proud to help guide yours.

“Louis Pacella has been my attorney in helping me set up our family trust for my grandmother and my mom. I am also in the process of preparing for my own trust. The office staff is outstanding and very professional.”- Beatrice R.
-
“Mr Pacella helped our family with a prior trust problem (created by a less knowledgeable attorney than Mr Pacella). and allowed the family to collect money owed to take care of my father for the rest of his life. He was always fair, professional, and mindful of our limited budget. He has also helped us with future options for the care of our father.”- Jim D.
