Estate Planning That Fits Your Family
Helping California families protect their loved ones with thoughtful estate planning, special needs guidance, and clear legal advice.
Serving California families for over 20 years
Estate Planning Guided by Experience
For more than two decades, Jeffrey C. Nickerson has helped California families plan for the future with clarity and care. His work in estate planning and special needs planning is shaped by both professional experience and personal understanding.
How We Help Families
Our practice focuses on estate planning and related matters that help families feel prepared, protected, and confident about the future.
Families We Commonly Work With
Estate planning is not one-size-fits-all. We regularly work with individuals and families at many stages of life, including:
- Parents planning for minor children
- Families caring for loved ones with disabilities
- Homeowners seeking to avoid probate
- Individuals planning for aging or incapacity
Clear Information Leads to Better Decisions
Estate planning can feel overwhelming. We believe clear information and thoughtful guidance help families make confident decisions.

Leahne Cox2026-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I recently had our Trust done with NickersonLaw Firm. We had put off doing this for so long and then my husband had a serious car accident and we realized we needed to get this done. Nickerson law firm made it such an easy process and I was embarrassed we hadn't done this sooner. I just want to thank everyone at the firm that helped us. They were all so nice and informative. It made a difficult thing very easy. Thank you! Carol DeVoy2025-12-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Nickerson is a great estate attorney. I used his services over five years ago to obtain conservatorship over my elderly mother with dementia. He did amazing with my complicated family matter. Recently, I was thinking about doing my own trust. Last month I went back to him for planning my own estate. He takes the time to listen to you and explain everything. His office is super helpful and fast! He's located in a nice area. I highly recommend using his law services for your estate needs! Mark C2025-12-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We finally got around to putting a trust together and Jeff and his team were awesome! They made the whole process very professional and painless. Jeff was recommended to us by his fraternity brother so we were a bit cautious and hesitant at first. But after the first meeting we KNEW he was an excellent choice! Kudos to Jeff, Cassandra and Kaylee for their incredible help and insightful knowledge that helped shape our trust into a personal legal document for both of our families for years to come. Highly recommend! Tamara2025-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Nickerson Law, would use again.
