Before you even meet, you can see Vinny’s approach to helping clients. In this video, Vinny outlines the steps he takes to assist prospective clients in choosing the best course of action for their particular situations.
Not Your Typical Attorney
Vinny’s path to the law was unique. His first career was navigating tankers as an officer in the Merchant Marine after graduating from the State University of New York Maritime College. He then graduated from one of the top-tier law schools in the country, UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, and immediately began his practice in estate planning, probate, and litigation. This blend of real-world leadership and top-tier legal training gives him a practical, no-nonsense approach to solving his clients’ problems.
A Focus on Seniors and Their Families
Early in his career, Vinny saw that most estate planning attorneys neglected to address the specific, complex issues our elders and their families face. Seeing the need for a compassionate firm interested in helping seniors and beneficiaries, Vinny founded the Casiano Law Firm in 2005. He took over Richard L. Sorem’s estate planning practice in 2004 and continues to serve those clients while focusing on the areas that affect families the most.
