PROBATE LAW

Probate is the court-supervised process that resolves a deceased person’s legal and financial affairs and transfers that person’s estate in an orderly manner after death. The deceased person’s creditors and taxes are paid, and what remains of the estate’s assets is distributed to the beneficiaries. Probate is necessary when someone who owned substantial assets dies with only a will – or without a will. To learn more about the probate process in California, or if you need to ensure that probate is conducted properly after you pass away, speak promptly to an experienced Fresno probate attorney at Tomassian, Pimentel & Shapazian.

EMPLOYMENT LAW

In California, you should never have to fear that an employer will violate your legal rights. Yet far too often, unscrupulous employers do violate employees’ rights. Illegal and sexual harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination and retaliation can be emotionally shattering when you are the victim and you’re simply trying to make a living. The law firm of Tomassian, Pimentel & Shapazian fights aggressively for the rights of California workers, and for more than two decades, we’ve built a reputation for perseverance and tenacity.
