Noble protection for heirs, beneficiaries, and fiduciaries — with precision, strategy, and resolve.
Ora Zarnegar is a trust and probate litigation attorney based in Los Angeles, representing heirs, beneficiaries, fiduciaries, creditors, and other interested parties through every phase of contested estate proceedings.
"The best brief he's ever read." — A retired judge, to a founding partner, on one of Ora's mediation briefs
Ora's practice is grounded in a rare academic foundation: a Juris Doctor and a Master of Dispute Resolution — both from Pepperdine University — and a B.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies from Chapman University. Before passing the bar, she spent years in the courtroom as a legal extern, developing deep intuition for how families navigate conflict through the legal system.
Today, Ora applies that foundation to every case she takes on. She has successfully moved to quash depositions with sanctions, defeated cross-complaints at the demurrer stage, and guided clients to favorable outcomes in mediation and at trial. Her approach is rigorous, strategic, and always in service of her clients' goals.
With a graduate degree in dispute resolution and a proven courtroom track record, Adlon Law handles the full spectrum of trust and estate conflicts in California.
Contesting or defending the validity of trusts, challenging trustee conduct, breach of fiduciary duty claims, and trust accounting disputes across California courts.
Will contests, heirship disputes, creditor claims, and full lifecycle management of contested probate proceedings — from initial filing through trial.
Contested conservatorship proceedings, opposing improper or abusive appointments, and protecting the rights of vulnerable individuals and their families.
Pursuing and defending claims of financial elder abuse, undue influence, and exploitation of beneficiaries — with aggressiveness where it matters most.
Strategic mediation representation backed by persuasive briefing and a track record of judicial commendation — finding resolution without unnecessary litigation.
Drawing on a graduate degree from Pepperdine's Straus Institute, Ora brings an advanced, structured approach to resolving family and estate conflicts efficiently.
