OVERVIEW

Golnaz Yazdchi is a partner in the Private Wealth and Fiduciary Litigation group
in the firm’s San Diego (Del Mar) office.

Areas of Practice

Golnaz’s practice focuses exclusively on disputes over trusts, estates,
conservatorships and other fiduciary matters. She represents individuals,
corporate trustees, private professional fiduciaries, and families in various
litigated matters including, will and trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty
cases, accounting actions, judicial construction and modification of trusts,
elder abuse actions, and contested conservatorship proceedings.   

Golnaz is part of a unique, nationally-recognized team representing clients in
some of the most high-profile, celebrity, and complex trust and estate disputes
in the country. Recently, Golnaz was part of a team that, according to ESPN,
“won a decisive legal victory to prevent a coup attempt” for the Los
Angeles-based Lakers basketball team. 

Golnaz is also active in the community, and dedicates her time in pro bono
matters. She is a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA),
Trust and Estate Section, and serves as a volunteer member of the California
Lawyers Association Trust & Estates Executive Committee, responsible for
summarizing new case authority for members of the California Lawyers Association
Trust and Estate section.
