I’ve wanted to be an attorney ever since I was a very young boy growing up in the San Fernando Valley.
According to my mother, the first written agreement I entered into was with my older brother, back when I was six and he was eleven years old. My brother took it upon himself to draft the “contract”. It essentially dictated when my brother would get to kick me out of our shared bedroom so that he could do his homework. In exchange for me leaving the room so he could do his homework, I would get to play with his cool collection of diecast toy cars.To this day, my brother insists that I breached the agreement, but I remain convinced that the terms of the agreement were patently unenforceable. After all, we were both minors and lacked sufficient legal capacity to enter into contracts.
In all seriousness though, I’m proud of my big brother. And yes, he eventually finished his homework– growing up to become a great attorney in his own right. Perhaps he has even improved at drafting legal agreements.

“It’s a privilege to serve my clients as an estate planning attorney. What could be better? (Other than dogs, of course.)”
–Makyla Vigil (August 15, 2022)
KLG does not rely on any unlicensed support staff. No paralegals and no law clerks.
This means that our attorneys are willing to take the necessary time to handle all client communications directly. Even the intake process is handled exclusively by our staff of licensed attorneys– not support staff. Simply put, we want to get to know our clients, so we remove the “middle man.”
Attorneys only? No paralegals? Why does this matter?
We believe the attorney is in the best position to interview the client and learn about the client’s legal matter. To be clear, we believe clients shouldn’t be asked to share personal information with support staff. Clients should be confident in knowing that their private information is protected and not shared with unlicensed law firm staff. Although this costs us more and might make our attorney’s lives a little more difficult, it serves our clients better. And that’s what matters most.
