Friedemann Goldberg Wargo Hess LLP was founded in 1999 by a group of attorneys who sought to combine the high-quality legal services of a larger firm with the attention to detail and responsiveness of a smaller firm. In the years since, we have become one of the premier law firms in the North Bay.

Sophisticated Estate Planning

Boutique Firm

The firm’s objective is to assist clients in the resolution of estate planning issues by delivering the quality professional service expected from large law firms, but with greater efficiency and responsiveness.

As a boutique firm comprised of experienced and creative attorneys, we are able to handle complex matters with flexibility and speed.

We maintain close affiliations with lawyers throughout California, as well as the country and the world, assuring the ability to deliver the finest legal services to our clients.

Service

Many of our attorneys have done pro bono legal work in areas such as land conservation organizations, health charities, educational groups, festivals, preservation of personal property matters, and even personal injury. They have volunteered as mediators, small claims judges, and have served on judicial committees with several county courts.

Our employees have worked on planning commissions and served on boards of directors. We have worked with organizations for the developmentally disabled, exchange programs, health organizations, educational organizations, observatories, community symphonies, youth organizations, and junior athletics.

Friedemann Goldberg Wargo Hess has been recognized ten consecutive years as one of the “Best Places to Work in the North Bay” by the North Bay Business Journal.

Community

We value family and community at Friedemann Goldberg Wargo Hess. We pride ourselves on providing a healthy workplace for our employees and clients. We also hope that our healthy and active approach will translate out to the world and help build stronger communities.

Our objective is to leave a lasting and positive impact on the community. That is why we have recycling and health programs in the workplace, offer internships to the next generation, accept cases on a pro bono basis, and volunteer in the community.

Through these efforts, the firm seeks to create a better present and more promising future for our families, our neighbors and the community as a whole.
