Strategic Legal Services for Every Stage of Life & Business

At The Pacella Law Group, we provide thoughtful, high-impact legal solutions to help you plan ahead, protect what matters, and navigate challenges with confidence. From securing your legacy through estate planning to resolving trust disputes, guiding business formation, or protecting creative rights in the entertainment industry—our experienced team offers personalized counsel rooted in California law. Explore our core areas of practice below to learn how we can help.

Business Formation & Planning

Starting a business involves more than just a great idea—it requires smart legal structure and proactive planning. At The Pacella Law Group, we guide you through entity selection, formation, and strategic protections to limit liability and safeguard your personal assets. We’ll make sure everything is set up correctly from the start, so your business has a strong foundation to grow.

Conservatorships

When an adult is no longer able to manage their personal or financial affairs, a conservatorship may be necessary to ensure their well-being. At The Pacella Law Group, we guide families through the legal process of obtaining conservatorship—helping you step in and make decisions on behalf of a loved one with care, compassion, and clarity.

Estate Planning

A well-crafted estate plan ensures your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected, and your legacy is preserved. At The Pacella Law Group, we help California families prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and Medi-Cal plans—providing personalized legal guidance to bring clarity, security, and peace of mind to every stage of life.

Probate & Trust Litigation

Probate can be overwhelming, costly, and time-consuming—but you don’t have to face it alone. At The Pacella Law Group, we help clients avoid probate when possible through proper planning, and we guide families through the process when court involvement becomes necessary. We also represent trustees, beneficiaries, and heirs in complex trust and estate disputes—resolving conflicts with strategy, strength, and compassion.

Trust Administration

Being named a trustee comes with serious legal responsibilities—and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. At The Pacella Law Group, we guide trustees through every step of the administration process, from understanding your duties to communicating with beneficiaries and managing trust assets. We’re here to ensure you stay compliant, avoid missteps, and carry out your role with confidence.

Talent & Entertainment Law

From contract negotiation to intellectual property protection, The Pacella Law Group represents creatives, performers, and professionals navigating the entertainment industry. We help talent secure fair deals, protect their rights, and avoid legal pitfalls—so they can focus on their craft while we handle the fine print.
