Pierce Jr Paul E in Carlsbad limits his practice to business law, estate planning, probate, and trust administration from a sole-practitioner office on Palomar Airport Road. California State Bar member since 1982 and a Loyola Law School graduate, the practice drafts revocable and irrevocable trusts, wills, and powers of attorney within the same estate-planning corridor that includes Opelon LLP for higher-volume probate litigation. Prior to law school, the principal owned and operated a retail business in Northern California, bringing practical commercial experience to entity-formation and buy-sell agreement drafting. Post-formation corporate work includes bylaws, resolutions, partnership agreements, and ongoing governance counsel, with document-execution logistics handled through local notary services at Notary Erika. Highest-complexity engagements involve multi-beneficiary trust administrations requiring Probate Code Section 16060 accountings, Heggstad petitions, and court-supervised asset distributions.
