Circling the News put out a query for a reader who wanted a good estate/trust lawyer that was local to Pacific Palisades. CTN promised to let the reader know of any responses.
Readers were exceptionally helpful. CTN does not recommend or cannot vouch for the qualifications of any of the attorneys. Here is the list of people that were recommended by residents. Some of the comments that residents made are included in parentheses. CTN also does not know if any of the lawyers are accepting new clients.
