McCann Ellis Law is a respected Murrieta, California law firm dedicated to estate planning, trust and probate administration, and business planning. We are committed to delivering tailored legal solutions and exceptional client service.
We focus our practice exclusively on estate planning, trust administration, probate, business formation, and business transactions. This concentrated approach allows us to offer an elevated level of experience and depth in these areas.
Our firm’s owner, Dennis McCann, is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law. This certification, granted only by the State Bar of California or an approved accrediting organization, signifies an attorney who has exceeded standard professional expectations in both training and demonstrated expertise. According to the State Bar, a Certified Specialist must:
- Pass a rigorous, full-day written examination in estate planning, trust, and probate law
- Show extensive experience and advanced proficiency in those areas
- Complete ongoing, specialized continuing education
- Earn positive evaluations from judges and fellow attorneys familiar with their work
- Pass a rigorous, full-day written examination in estate planning, trust, and probate law
Considering that California has roughly 190,000 licensed attorneys and only about 1,000 hold this certification, fewer than 0.5% meet this standard. This distinction reflects our ability to competently manage matters ranging from straightforward to highly complex.
At McCann Ellis Law, we do not believe in one-size-fits-all planning. Every estate plan and business structure we create is custom-crafted to address each client’s individual goals, concerns, family dynamics, and financial realities. Unlike online templates or generic legal services, we prioritize thoughtful, personalized planning.
We also pride ourselves on the way we treat our clients. Whether you are navigating multimillion-dollar business and estate arrangements or have a modest estate with simple objectives, you will receive the same level of respect, attention, and outstanding service. Most importantly, we take the time to listen. Understanding your priorities helps us develop strategies that truly reflect what matters to you.
