About Geremia & Cullen, PC

Life doesn’t always go according to plan, especially after the loss of a loved one or during conflict over a family estate. When you’re left dealing with the legal fallout of someone else’s decisions, the emotions can run deep: confusion, anger, grief, and often a sense that something just isn’t right. That’s when clear guidance matters most.

At Geremia & Cullen, PC, we are experienced Sacramento estate and trust attorneys here for life’s most challenging times. Whether you’re challenging a will, facing delays from a trustee, or just trying to get your estate plan in order, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Who We Help

We help clients throughout Sacramento with estate litigation, trust disputes, or estate planning challenges. While every client’s situation is unique, they all come to us with a shared goal: resolution. We’ve assisted:

  • Disinherited heirs (spouses and adult children) looking to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs and make sense of a painful family outcome;
  • Trust beneficiaries who feel ignored or stonewalled by a trustee and need answers or action; and
  • Parents and caretakers planning ahead for the care of their children and the transfer of their assets.

We know how important these things are to you and treat them with care, not like paperwork, because they all impact your family’s future.

Our Approach

Each case consists of three components: the legal aspect, the emotional aspect, and the process involved. We approach all three with empathy, transparency, and practical strategies.

Clients frequently contact us when they’re stressed, hurting, or worried about money. Our goal is to bring structure to the chaos. We use straightforward language to explain each step and try to find solutions that are both legally sound and fair while prioritizing:

  • Responsiveness. We return every call and answer every question.
  • Realistic expectations. No legal drama, just solid advice.
  • Client-focused outcomes. We do contingency work when needed, so you don’t pay unless we recover something for you.

With this strategy, we assuredly and carefully guide our clients through complex situations.
