I have been an established attorney in the State of California for over 14 years, initially compelled to attend law school to continue pursuing my passion for music and film that started while finishing my undergrad work at UCLA.
During my time at UCLA, I worked in the music industry at Geffen Records and Zomba Music Publishing. I applied only to and was accepted by Southwestern—a law school with a strong and reputable entertainment department. While there, I clerked in the Legal Department at Lions Gate Entertainment, negotiating and drafting production agreements. After graduating law school and passing the bar, I was hired at Paramount Pictures Corporation in the Music Legal Department and quickly rose the ranks, earning the position of Director of Music Licensing within one year.
About a decade ago, after I married and became a mother, my passion changed to my three sons. I quickly became aware that traditional estate planning had many holes, and I wanted a better system for my family. It was then that I decided to make a major career shift and open an estate planning law practice with my sister.
My sister and I created a system to ensure that our families would be protected if the worst were to transpire. If something were to happen to my husband and me, our kids will never go into protective custody and loving short-term guardians will know just what to do, named agents will have access to our accounts to take care of my children financially, and my kids will receive their inheritance protected from future creditors, lawsuits, bankruptcy, and future ex-spouses. For over 14 years now, my sister and I have built and established a law practice serving clients that we are proud of.
We are on a mission to provide the same caring and thoughtful legal protection for your family and for our community as a whole.

The team at Wiezorek & Geye treated us like friends and family. They were informative without being pushy, professional but not too formal.

I used Wiezorek & Geye to sort out my Estate Planning Portfolio. Shannon and Danielle made the process painless. They are thorough and offered options with follow ups to assure a timely completion. I feel much better about documenting my decisions, giving my loved ones peace of mind. – Greg R.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
