The Law Offices of John C. Martin

Practice/Organization Description

Our law firm focuses exclusively on legacy planning, wealth preservation, estate and business succession planning, and estate administration. We are a unique law firm, serving a select group of clients not only during the implementation of their plan, but also over their lifetimes. Our trust and estate planning services enable clients to protect their spouse’s or child’s inheritance from creditors and predators, maximize control over their assets during their lifetime, benefit charities, and effectively transition their business to the next generation. Through an ongoing client maintenance program, we provide peace of mind that a client’s goals will not be undermined by a changing legal environment. From our location in Menlo Park, California, we advise individuals, families, and businesses throughout the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay Area.
