My background
I started on the other side of the table.
I began my career as a plaintiff-side civil litigator in Los Angeles and Orange County. My job was to find and reach assets: discovery, subpoenas, and depositions aimed at getting behind entities and trusts. I also practiced California employment and labor law.
That work showed me how structures actually fail, and it is why I moved to pre-litigation asset protection. Every plan I design starts with one question: when a creditor’s attorney tests this structure, what will a court actually be able to reach? I evaluate every plan through four variables: timing, control, jurisdiction, and collectibility.
My planning is shaped by lawsuits, tax, trusts, and real facts, and grounded in statutes and case law. You should leave our conversation with a clear picture of what a structure does, what it does not do, and whether it fits you. This is not a sales pitch.
How I practice
One attorney, with a network behind the plan.
I handle every trust engagement as co-counsel with the Trust Protector, an affiliated firm that prepares the trust documents. I am directly involved in each engagement, from design through implementation.
I also serve as Lead Attorney and as Director of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships at the Asset Protection Council, a national network of legal, tax, and financial professionals.
My work includes LLCs, the Asset Management Limited Partnership (AMLP), the Bridge Trust®, and the Dynasty Bridge Trust®, and I explain where a domestic or foreign trust fits instead.
I don’t manage money, sell investments, or compete with financial advisors. I build the legal structure that protects the wealth your advisory team helps you grow, and I coordinate it with your CPA, financial advisor, and wealth manager.
The Asset Protection Council network
The network I work within.
The Asset Protection Council brings legal, tax, and financial professionals together around one plan. The Council is not a law firm and does not provide legal services; legal services are provided by Bradley Legal Corp.
Combined figures for the Asset Protection Council network and its affiliated firms, not Bradley Legal Corp alone. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
For CPAs and financial advisors
The legal layer your clients’ plans are missing.
I work alongside CPAs, financial advisors, RIAs, wealth managers, family office professionals, and exit planning specialists whose clients need legal structure that a non-lawyer cannot provide.
I handle the asset protection and dynasty trust work as co-counsel with the Trust Protector. Your team stays focused on tax strategy, investment management, and exit planning.
The client is the law firms’ client, not the referring advisor’s. I coordinate with the client’s other advisors only with the client’s informed consent, so everyone works from the same plan.

Awards and recognition.

Tell me about your situation
Fill out the form below. I review every submission personally. If your situation is a fit for pre-litigation planning, you will receive a link to book a private 60-minute consultation. If you prefer to speak directly, call (888) 773-9399.
Asset protection works best before a claim exists. If you already face a pending or threatened claim, transfers made now can be challenged and may not protect you against that claim. Tell me about it at the consultation.
