welcome to the Law Offices of Robert P. Bergman

I’m Attorney Bob Bergman. I’ve lived in Santa Clara County since 1968, and I’ve been a practicing attorney since 1980. Through my law practice, I help families:

• with disability and inheritance planning to avoid Conservatorship if you become disabled, and Probate at your death. 
• take maximum advantage of the estate tax and inheritance laws to pass on their property quickly and inexpensively to their children or other heirs after death. This can include planning for asset protection for the inheritance for many generations.
• that have children or other relatives with special needs with comprehensive supplemental needs trust planning to preserve an inheritance for the care of the special needs person.

My clients are at all stages of life, including married and unmarried, registered domestic partnerships, and those with and without children.

My planning approach is like an architect designing a custom home for my clients. In our meeting, we will create a “blueprint” together for your custom estate plan that has the features and benefits you request and need. Then, once we finish the design of your estate plan, I will create an estate plan like a contractor, building it step by step.
