Noble protection for heirs, beneficiaries, and fiduciaries — with precision, strategy, and resolve.
When a loved one passes away and a dispute arises over their estate, you need an attorney who understands what you're going through — and who knows how to protect what's rightfully yours. Ora Zarnegar is a trust and probate litigation attorney in Los Angeles who fights for families navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
"The best brief he's ever read." — A retired judge, on one of Ora's mediation briefs
Ora doesn't just understand the law — she understands people. With a law degree and a Master's in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine, plus a background in Peace and Conflict Studies, she brings a rare combination of legal skill and human insight to every case. Before she ever represented her own clients, she spent years in courtrooms learning firsthand how families work through conflict.
That experience shows in her results. Ora has shut down bad-faith legal tactics, won key motions that changed the course of cases, and helped clients reach favorable settlements — often avoiding the cost and stress of a full trial. Whether your case calls for aggressive courtroom advocacy or a carefully negotiated resolution, Ora will build a strategy around your goals.
Whether you're dealing with a disputed trust, a contested will, or a family member taking advantage of a loved one, we can help. Here's what we handle.
Someone isn't following the terms of the trust, or you believe the trust itself isn't valid. We hold trustees accountable and protect your rights as a beneficiary.
A will doesn't seem right, an inheritance is being withheld, or the estate isn't being handled properly. We step in to make sure the process is fair.
A family member is being placed under someone else's control — and you're not sure it's in their best interest. We fight to protect vulnerable loved ones.
Someone is taking financial advantage of an elderly family member — stealing assets, manipulating decisions, or draining accounts. We pursue these cases aggressively.
Not every dispute needs to go to trial. When a negotiated resolution makes sense, Ora's mediation skills — praised by a retired judge — help you reach the best possible outcome faster.
Family conflicts over money and inheritance can tear relationships apart. Ora's advanced training in dispute resolution helps find paths forward that protect both your interests and your family.
