Trusted estate planning and business law for Westlake Village families and business owners, from a local attorney who has served the Conejo Valley since 1997.
Clear guidance without the jargon, so you always know where you stand.
Our office is in the heart of Westlake Village, and it has been the home of The Flaig Law Firm since 1997. We help neighbors here protect their families and the businesses they have built, from a first estate plan to the counsel a growing company relies on year after year.
Westlake Village straddles both Los Angeles and Ventura counties, which can complicate where and how an estate is administered. Local experience matters here: we structure trusts and business entities so your plan holds up cleanly no matter which county line your assets fall on.
Because we are right here, meeting in person is easy, and you always work directly with the attorney. Your first consultation is free and completely confidential.
Being local matters most when a question comes up midway through a plan. Our clients reach the attorney who drafted their documents, not a stranger at a call center, and can often meet in person the same week.
Many of our Westlake Village clients own a primary home here and a second property elsewhere, or a business with operations across county lines. We structure plans that hold together across all of it, so nothing falls through a gap between jurisdictions.
The City of Westlake Village is in Los Angeles County, while the neighborhoods north of the county line are in Thousand Oaks and Ventura County. Which court would hear the estate depends on where you live and what you own, which is one more reason to keep the estate out of court entirely.
Our office is at 5707 Corsa Avenue, just off Lindero Canyon Road. Westlake clients can sit down with the attorney who drafts their plan, sign in the same room, and come back when life changes.
Much of the value in a Westlake Village estate is the home itself. We confirm the deed is actually held by the trust, the step most often missed, so the plan works when your family needs it.
“Donnie and his team are great. The office is wonderfully relaxing and the views out the window are stunning. On the business side, everything was organized and laid out clearly and thoroughly. I couldn’t ask for more.”
William R.Google review“I’ve been an attorney for 30+ years. Decided to retire and Donnie came highly recommended. This was a very difficult sale and I just sat back and Donnie took care of everything. It is hard letting another attorney deal with my legal issues, but, again Donnie is the best.”
Travis B.Google review“I would gladly recommend the Flaig Law Firm for setting up your estate planning and trust needs. They are so helpful and very efficient. Wonderful to deal with!”
