About Us
Amir is licensed to practice law in California and Texas and he is a Certified Specialist, Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law, State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. Amir also holds a Master of Law in Taxation degree. He started our boutique law firm back in May 2005 and has been selected to Super Lawyers for seven consecutive years starting in 2016. When Amir is not working, you can find him and his dog, Blake, exploring new trails.
Michael is an associate attorney who started working at Atashi Rang Ewing Rice Law Firm PC as an intern in 2021. He majored in Political Science at UC Berkeley before going to Golden Gate University School of Law. Michael is currently working on his Master of Law in Taxation through New York University’s Executive LLM program. He lives in the El Sobrante area with his wife and his dog Ronin.
Ahmad is a legal assistant who began working at our firm in 2023. He majored in Political Science at Tulane University before attending Golden Gate University School of Law in the same section as Michael. In his spare time, Ahmad enjoys tending to his many aquariums and developing new dessert recipes. Pastry making is his specialty, and some of his favorite to make are sfogliatelle and macarons.
Blake is Amir’s estate planning mentor. Most people think that estate planning is hard work but it’s not … and, here are the secrets: First, it’s imperative to start the day with a long hike. Second, you have to take breaks once every two hours. Third, eating snacks and treats throughout the day, preferably once every two hours, should never be overlooked. Fourth, play time and laughter is just as important as work. Amir has come a long way but he still has room for improvement.
Ronin’s main duty is keeping Michael on his daily schedule. Breakfast (for Ronin) and coffee (for Michael) must be served every morning at 8:30 sharp. In the afternoon, it’s time to patrol the neighborhood for cats and check the bushes for any new smells. Ronin also cares about the environment. Whether he’s snacking on leftover veggies or monitoring the kitchen floor, he’s always ready to lend a helping paw in the fight against food waste.
Jane has been Ahmad’s business partner for years and now acts as his semi-retired consultant. She may appear to just be sleeping most of the day, but she’s hard at work dreaming up the details of the firm’s latest estate planning project. Despite her busy schedule, Jane is always ready to take a break and supervise Ahmad’s latest cooking experiment. Jane and Ahmad love to garden together in the mornings. While Ahmad tends to the succulents, Jane takes the time to trim her wheat grass planter. She has quite the green paw; one of her many skills that help Ahmad and her keep a healthy work life balance.
