Judd Matsunaga is an honest, reputable and trustworthy attorney in Los Angeles with Elder Law Services of California.

Judd was born and raised in Los Angeles, California where he graduated from Beverly Hills High School (Class of ‘76) and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from UCLA in 1980. Right out of school he started selling apartment buildings in the Southland of Los Angeles having obtained his real estate brokers license in 1981.

In 1989, Judd Matsunaga moved to Kahala, Hawaii to develop properties for sale to the Japanese investors. After the Tokyo Stock Market crashed in 1990, he moved back to Los Angeles and attended law school at the University of West Los Angeles.

Judd’s legal career began as a law clerk with Magana, Cathcart & McCarthy, a Century City law firm specializing in personal injury and wrongful death. After passing the bar in 1995 Judd started as an associate attorney with Barth, Green & Kelly, a real estate defense firm, where he represented sellers and real estate agents being sued by disgruntled buyers.

Although Judd felt that working in civil litigation was an extraordinary experience, and an outstanding training ground for a trial attorney, he realized that litigation was not his “cup of tea.” In 1996, Judd founded the law firm of Matsunaga and Associates, an estate planning law firm which has been growing strong ever since.

His primary practice areas are: Estate Planning (Wills and Trusts), Probate, and Medi-Cal Planning for Long-Term Care. Over the years Judd has personally met with thousands of families with a loved one facing long-term care. He is proud to say that his firm has a 100% success rate in getting those family members approved for Medi-Cal benefits, while preserving assets and protecting the family home.

Judd has said that he is very grateful for the opportunity to have represented so many clients over the years. He looks forward to helping his existing clients and meeting and helping many new clients in the months and years ahead.
