Douglas M. Buchanan, attorney, and his wife Deirdre, a paralegal, practice in San Luis Obispo, California. They believe a small family-operated practice allows them to best serve their clients. Their friendly, easy-going yet professional manners put clients at ease and allow Doug and Deirdre to provide personalized service in a comfortable atmosphere.

Doug has been practicing law since 1987, both in California and North Carolina. He received his Juris Doctor degree in 1986 from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco, California, where he was a Law Review contributor and class president.

He chose to specialize in areas that focus on planning and decision-making, rather than resolution of adversarial matters. He likes knowing the decisions made today regarding estate planning, corporate law and real estate law can greatly contribute to the futures of his clients and their families.

San Luis Obispo's Tribune newspaper featured Doug in their "Success 2007" magazine. You can read the article here to learn more about his career, background, and philosophy.

Doug is happy to speak with clients in need of wills, trusts, probate avoidance and execution, health care directives, power of attorney, corporation and LLC formation, and real estate transactions.

For clients seeking assistance with wills and living trusts, Doug offers a free initial consultation. House calls are available for those who are caring for others or otherwise unable to meet Doug in his office.
