Firm Summary

CERTIFIED SPECIALIST IN ESTATE PLANNING, PROBATE AND TRUST LAW BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAR BOARD OF LEGAL SPECIALIZATION

Siddharth is the managing partner of Chhokar Law Group, P.C. Siddharth is unique among estate planning practitioners by his unyielding commitment to creating Your Total Estate Plan™. Your Total Estate Plan™ starts with the understanding that the only way to practice law is by building lifelong relationships with clients and knowing that those relationships must be predicated on an environment of trust and understanding. He does not believe in merely drafting documents and filing them away; rather he focuses on a comprehensive approach that will meet his clients’ immediate needs and their long-term goals. Siddharth believes that creating Your Total Estate Plan™ required more than just sophisticated estate planning techniques – it also requires that everything be viewed through the prism of asset protect. The best estate plan in the world is useless if there is nothing left to pass on to your loved ones.

Siddharth’s practice focuses on personalized estate planning for individuals, couples, and families. He has a broad range of experience including wills, revocable living trusts, family business entity planning, co-tenancy arrangements and irrevocable trusts including life insurance trusts, dynasty trusts, personal residence trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts, lead and charitable remainder trusts.

Siddharth began his higher education by earning his Bachelor of Science degree from Boston University. Thereafter, he received an M.B.A. with concentrations in Finance and International Business from Rollins College in Florida. Siddharth then went on to the Chicago-Kent School of Law earning not only his Juris Doctor but also a Special Certificate in International Law. Next knowing that there are only two guarantees in life – death and taxes, Siddharth went on to receive his Master’s in Tax Law from the University of San Diego’s top ten LL.M. program.

Siddharth’s professional career began by working for Deloitte Tax in Silicon Valley California structuring multinational corporations to obtain the highest level of tax reduction and asset protection available under the law. Wanting a more meaningful professional experience, Siddharth moved into private practice and estate planning in 2004. After discovering how “traditional” attorneys function, Siddharth decided that he could do things better – the result is Chhokar Law Group, P.C. As an attorney, he protects high net-worth individuals and families through the design of sophisticated plans to protect their assets and pass along the maximum wealth to successive generations. Siddharth applies those same strategies to people of all financial backgrounds, knowing that everyone should have the same access to experienced guidance in order to protect their families and wealth.

Siddharth is a member of the California State Bar Association, the California Bar Trust and Estates Section, the California Bar Tax Section, and Wealth Counsel.
