Bochnewich Law Offices

Bochnewich Law Offices focuses on trust and estate litigation, including undue influence, lack of capacity, breach of fiduciary duty and contested conservatorships. The firm also handles estate planning, probate administration and tax planning, with work on wills, trusts, medical directives and durable powers of attorney. It has recovered about $4 million in one undue influence case involving a multi-million-dollar trust.

Clients come from Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. The first consultation is free, and the firm reviews its fee structure at that meeting. A typical trust litigation case can take from about six months to over two years, depending on court schedules. The office is in Palm Desert, led by owner Peter M. Bochnewich with attorney Ryan W. Parker.
