A More Personal Approach

Important family decisions deserve a conversation with the attorney who will handle your matter.

David F. Calkins is a California attorney based in Glendale, serving individuals and families throughout Southern California. His practice focuses on estate planning, uncontested probate, and trust administration.

Work directly with David

Discuss your goals, ask questions, and receive guidance from the attorney responsible for your matter. David explains your options in plain language so you can make informed decisions.

Planning grounded in experience

David’s work administering estates and trusts informs his approach to planning: clear instructions, practical documents, and attention to how assets will actually pass to your family.

Help putting the plan into effect

Estate planning goes beyond signing documents. We prepare appropriate real estate transfer deeds and explain the funding steps needed to help your trust avoid probate.

Convenient from the first conversation

Start with a free phone consultation and a discussion of the scope and anticipated fees. Home and office signing appointments are available.

Our practice is limited to nonlitigation, undisputed matters. We do not handle litigation, will or trust contests, or other disputed matters.
