-Firm Overview-
Since 1991, the Law Offices of Dale K. Bethel has grown to service a wide variety of clients throughout California by specializing in matters including estate planning, business formation and succession planning, probate and conservatorships, tax, elder law, wealth preservation and accumulation, Medi-Cal planning, long term care planning, insurance, and asset protection. We can now honestly state that, in combination, these fields of expertise can be referred to singularly as Heritage Law: the only law of the duel practitioner. This evolution did not take place overnight.

We began as a simple litigation firm, practicing family law, personal injury and workers' compensation. Soon, we expanded the practice to include estate planning thanks to the encouragement of our family law clients who needed to change their wills, family trusts and other estate planning documents. Estate planning lead us to Elder Law. Throughout the 1990's, we expanded our Elder Law practice to include the specialization of Medi-Cal and other private forms of long term care planning.

From Elder Law it was only natural that the practice expanded to include other areas of specialization mentioned above. Taxation advice and consultation and business development planning became dominant fields of expertise, influencing and complementing all other legal fields of practice. As a result, in refining this potent combination of knowledge, it became essential to include wealth preservation and accumulation planning as an added value service to our clientele. This unique combination of legal, wealth accumulation and preservation, and tax practice is what defines a "duel practitioner".

Finally, a practice that enables people to bring their professional and business goals into harmony with their personal aspirations. That is Heritage Law. That is what the Law Offices of Dale K. Bethel is all about. You'll find that legal service will never seem quite the same again.
