It's perhaps a sad fact of life that the only thing we really leave behind when we die is what we have accumulated in our time. Meaning money, assets, and other material items. But the truth is, in a lot of ways, these are the things that really matter. And that's not always a bad thing. Sometimes we depend on the money someone leaves us, and sometimes we need the sentimental mementos to remember our family by. And that's where Janet Brewer comes in, specializing in estate planning to make sure the material things we care about stay with us. Brewer has cornered the trust law market. She's one of fewer than 100 practicing estate lawyers in her area, and one of fewer than 100,000 in the great state of California. That's the mark of specialization, and doing something so particular requires a natural level of expertise. Brewer is well-recognized for her abilities on Avvo.com by both former clients and colleagues in her area. What I like most about Brewer is that she advertises a "personal, caring" touch to what she does. Sure, that sounds a little cliche when every lawyer claims they strive to give you the personalized, individual approach, but I think that really means something in Brewer's specialty. She deals with money and protecting assets, which can understandably attract a certain element of cold, hard greed, both among her and her clients. But she aims to take the sentimental road, appealing to what these family assets mean to us as people. And that demonstrates personalism and, yes, even caring. Brewer also provides her services to gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual clients.
