Our Practice Areas
Life rarely stays simple. When it gets complicated, a loved one passes, a trust is disputed, a family member can no longer care for themselves, Brierton, Jones & Jones is the firm San Diego families turn to. We're exclusively focused on trust, estate, and probate law, so everything we do is built around protecting people at life's most critical moments.
What We Do
Estate planning is the legal process of arranging how your assets, healthcare decisions, and financial affairs will be managed and distributed — through instruments like wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives — so your family is protected, your wishes are honored, and the courts stay out of it.
One Firm Every Stage of the Journey
Brierton, Jones & Jones is a San Diego firm built entirely around trust, estate, and probate law from the earliest stages of planning ahead to the most contested courtroom disputes. That singular focus means our attorneys think about these issues every day, build deeper expertise, and serve clients with a level of precision that general-practice firms simply can't match.
Whether you're a young parent setting up your first revocable living trust, a caregiver navigating conservatorship for an aging parent, a trustee with fiduciary duty obligations you need to get right, or a family member facing a contested probate, we've handled it, we know California law inside and out, and we're ready to help.
