I have been practicing law for two years. My practice has always focused on Civil Litigation, which I have now expanded to Probate, Business Transactions and Estate Planning. I am excited to learn new areas of law, new cases and meeting new clients.

Mr. Tucker was born and raised in Southern California. After graduating from Corona High School, he spent two years in Central America before enlisting in the Air Force. He married his wife, Judi, in 1971 just before joining the Air Force from which he was honorably discharged in 1974. With the support and encouragement of Judi and their four kids, he began law school and graduated in 1980. In late August 2009, after 28 years of personal injury defense experience including the last 14 as a managing attorney at a major insurance company, Mr. Tucker opened a small local law office in Redlands. In a short time, and with the help and association of excellent local attorneys and staff, the office began representing clients dealing with civil and personal injury claims and criminal charges. Soon thereafter the office was also helping clients seek debt relief under the Bankruptcy Code and therefore became a "debt relief agency" as defined by the code. Mr. Tucker is an Alternative Dispute Resolution attorney for civil cases. The office serves all of Southern California but is proud to focus efforts on the Inland Empire.

In addition to the practice of law, Wayne enjoys mountain biking and has biked many mountain trails in the Western United States. He recently became a four wheel drive enthusiast and enjoys revisiting many of his favorite mountain bike spots but now with an engine, air conditioning and satellite radio.

Wayne and Judi enjoy a considerable amount of time as cheering fans at their 8 grandkids' soccer, little league and other activities and performances.

Lawrence M. Daugherty is a sole practitioner licensed attorney at law limiting his practice to CONSERVATORSHIPS and TRUSTS (both trust creation as well as assistance to trustees in trust administration). He has been in continual practice since 1974. His office is located at 901 So. State Street, Suite 200 (at the corner of State and Johnston), Hemet, CA 92543-7127 Telephone (951) 925-0516.

First time callers who telephone the office (951/925-0516) will be pleased to receive a prompt call back directly from Mr. Daugherty himself to address their concerns. All conferences will be with Mr. Daugherty and not with an inexperienced junior associate attorney, paralegal or other support staff.

Appointments are also available on weekends and evenings for adult children or family members of proposed conservatees. In some cases, the client(s) may be here only a short time from outside the Hemet area, and time is urgent to start the process to obtain conservatorship appointment and protection. It can be especially urgent in cases where a financial predator is already actively working on draining away the proposed conservatee's financial estate.

Mr. Daugherty's PRIMARY CONCERNS are making the client comfortable with the legal process by patiently and thoroughly explaining the legal process involved (in plain English, not "legalese"), and by keeping him or her informed of the status of the case; and also by completing all work promptly.

RETURNING CLIENTS' TELEPHONE CALLS PROMPTLY is considered a top priority and Mr. Daugherty's daily motto is: "The sun shall set on no client's unreturned telephone call."

The client will be made to feel comfortable in freely calling Mr. Daugherty as frequently as he or she wishes, no matter how minor the client may think the question or concern is.

Conservatorships are a particularly complex proceeding (Mr. Daugherty likens the process to "going through probate while you are alive"). Since it is almost always unfamiliar territory for the client/conservator, Mr. Daugherty goes to great effort to EDUCATE AND GUIDE the client/conservator not only in the beginning, but all along the way as the case progresses.

Please visit his website www.LawrenceMDaugherty.com for more information or call (951) 925-0516. (There is one important ETHICAL LIMITATION in conservatorship cases: an attorney may not represent a conservator in a matter involving the imposition of a conservatorship on a present or former client of the attorney. Therefore, if the person who is the proposed conservatee is one of Mr. Daugherty's present or former clients, Mr. Daugherty cannot assist in bringing a conservatorship.)
