Max Alavi APC, OC Trusts Lawyer is a boutique Orange County firm focused on trust litigation, probate disputes, trust administration, and estate planning. When families are dealing with an inheritance conflict, a trustee who is not being transparent, or a probate case that is turning into a fight, we step in with a clear plan and strong courtroom experience.
Our practice is built around high stakes trust and probate matters throughout Southern California, with a primary focus in Orange County and regular work in surrounding counties. Many of our cases involve significant assets, complicated family dynamics, and urgent concerns such as missing property, delayed distributions, undue influence, or questions about capacity. We also represent clients in financial elder abuse matters, including cases where an older adult was pressured, isolated, or taken advantage of through sudden changes to a trust, will, or beneficiary designations.
Max Alavi is the firm’s lead trial attorney and has more than 30 years of legal experience. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers for Estate and Trust Litigation, and he is known for a practical, results driven style that keeps clients informed and prepared. We have handled complex disputes involving multi million dollar estates, and we are comfortable taking decisive action when the situation calls for it, including petitions to remove a trustee, compel an accounting, freeze harmful transactions, recover assets, and enforce the terms of a trust or will.
Clients come to us at difficult moments. Sometimes they are beneficiaries who feel shut out and want answers. Sometimes they are trustees who are doing their best but are facing accusations, family pressure, or a lawsuit. In probate, we help families and personal representatives move cases forward efficiently, and when conflict happens, we protect our clients’ interests through focused probate litigation.
We also believe the best legal strategy is the one that fits your goals. Some clients want an aggressive courtroom approach. Others want to resolve the problem without tearing the family apart. At Max Alavi, Attorney at Law, APC, we take the time to understand what matters most to you, then we give you straightforward advice about options, risks, timing, and likely outcomes. If settlement makes sense, we pursue it from a position of strength. If litigation is necessary, we are ready to move quickly and present your case effectively in probate court.
Above all, our firm is built on trust, responsiveness, and experienced advocacy. When your legacy, your inheritance, or your family’s financial security is on the line, you deserve counsel that knows this area of law, knows the court process, and takes your concerns seriously from day one.
