Mark Ziebold’s Summary

Attorney with extensive experience in the following practice areas: Estate Planning (from fundamental planning with revocable living trusts to tax planning for the high net worth individual), Asset Protection, Probate, Taxation, Corporations, and Partnerships.

The majority of my business is helping high net worth clients reduce estate taxes. In addition to my Orange County clients, I have clients from San Diego to San Francisco in California and in the Las Vegas/Henderson area. I am licensed to practice law in all California state courts, all Nevada state courts, all Arizona state courts, the federal central district court in California, and the federal Tax Court. I am currently working on my Texas Bar Application.

I earned my Certified Wealth Preservation Planner designation (CWPP) and Certified Asset Protection Planner designation (CAPP) from the Wealth Preservation Institute in July of 2007.

If you are a Chapman Law Alumni or a Baylor Alumni in Southern California, feel free to invite me to your network. I am also happy to meet and join the networks of other professionals that may benefit my clients or that have clients that need tax and estate planning.
