$150-250 USD / hour

I am lead counsel on an active trust-litigation matter pending in Los Angeles Superior Court and would like to bring in a seasoned colleague to share the load. You must have deep, hands-on experience in trust litigation—seven or more years in the trenches, handling beneficiaries’ disputes, trustee misconduct claims, accountings, surcharge petitions, and related motions. Here is what I will immediately rely on you to handle: • Court appearances: argue motions, status conferences, and, if needed, ex parte applications in downtown L.A. • Discovery responses and motions: draft, propound, and oppose written discovery; prepare meet-and-confer letters; move to compel or defend against motions to compel. • Legal research and analysis: produce concise research memoranda and incorporate the findings into pleadings and briefs. California bar admission is mandatory, and prior experience in the Probate Division of LASC is strongly preferred. Much of the drafting and research can be performed remotely; hearings will require in-person attendance. Please respond with a brief summary of comparable trust litigation matters you have led, your availability over the next three months, and any standout results (e.g., successful §850 petitions, trial verdicts, or favorable settlements). I will review writing samples and set up a call to discuss strategy and next steps.

Hello, I understand you are looking for a senior-level trust litigation associate to support active probate litigation in Los Angeles Superior Court, including hearings, discovery, research, and motion practice. I have strong experience in legal research, litigation drafting, and structured case analysis, with a focus on producing clear, court-ready memoranda, discovery responses, and motion support documents. I am comfortable working in fast-paced litigation environments where precision, deadlines, and strategic clarity are critical. For this role, I can assist with drafting and reviewing discovery (including meet-and-confer correspondence), preparing oppositions and motions to compel, and conducting targeted legal research for incorporation into pleadings and briefs. I can also support case preparation for hearings and ex parte applications, ensuring arguments are well-structured and supported by authority. My approach is detail-focused, organized, and aligned with lead counsel strategy, ensuring consistency across filings and minimizing rework. I can work remotely on drafting and research while supporting preparation needs for in-person court matters as required. Thanks, Asif
