Hi, I’m Pantea Fozouni
Attorney, Business Owner, Mom, Stepmom
For You. For Life.
For Your Family.
For After Life.
“In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes.”
Which is why we’re here: to get you to think about what comes for all of us, sooner or later, like it or not.
Having a plan in place is about more than deciding where your assets will go (although that’s important, too). It’s about deciding what your legacy will be, and then protecting that legacy–and even growing it.

Estate planning, made personal.
When I started my legal career, I represented high-net-worth clients and their businesses—and I quickly saw how traditional, “one-size-fits-all” models of estate planning led to conflict, endless court cases, and all-around dissatisfaction.
Knowing that families needed personalized support, and estate plans that take business into account, I founded Palm Desert Law to bridge the gap.
On a more personal level, I’m both a mom and a stepmom. I know how complicated and unique family dynamics can be—which is why we approach estate planning from the POV that no two families are exactly alike.
As your lawyer, I like to do things the old-school way. And no, I’m not talking about wearing pantyhose or carrying a briefcase. What I mean is that I want to be your family’s lawyer. Not just for today’s crisis, but for life—someone that you can confide in, someone who guides you through challenging and emotionally loaded decisions.
I’ll help you with everything that’s in my zone of genius, and find you the right person for everything that’s not.
