Our Family Taking Care Of Yours – No Matter How You Define Family

We get it. Life is messy. We all face a myriad of joys and challenges. At Kristof & Kristof, Attorneys at Law, we believe that all of this should be a part of the law; it should reflect your life.

Denise Kristof, our founding partner, is a member of the “Sandwich Generation” – she understands how to care for an elderly parent, plan for retirement and help the younger generations throughout the world. Our founding partner brings an unusual level of empathy to the practice of law. Her vast experience in the business world includes being in charge of annualized budgets running in the millions of dollars. Attorney M. Denise Kristof earned a dual Master of Science and Master in Business Administration before earning her Juris Doctorate in law. Denise also earned a Master of Laws (LLM) in estate planning and elder law.

Kent Kristof is a well-regarded litigator who focuses on trust and estate litigation, as well as elder abuse litigation and conservatorships. His work includes both representing clients during complex and contentious estate disputes and providing a strong grounding to the firm’s estate planning practice. Before practicing law, Kent Kristof founded a “dot com” business and earned his Master of Arts degree in history. Kent also holds an LLM in estate planning and elder law. He is currently a doctoral candidate (J.S.D.) focused on probate in Los Angeles County.
