About Alan
Biography
Margie and I moved to Huntington Beach in 1987. I spent 26 years as an engineer for the Navy (civil service) and became an attorney in 1984.
My practice is estate planning, conservatorships, probate, bankruptcy, real property, incorporation, contract writing and interpretation. I have done a number of trials.
I teach Wills and Trusts at Trinity Law School and have taught Environmental Law.
To help the public, I am active in a group of amateur radio operators (RACES) trained and ready to provide communications in case of earthquake, fire or flood. I was Cubmaster of Pack 506, and am a committee member of Boy Scout Troop 568. My two sons are Eagle Scouts.

Very helpful. His advice has proved accurate.
Alan gave me good, thoughtful advice on avvo.com. People, we need to support lawyers who have the right spirit about people and knowledge of the law. Please give Alan your consideration when it comes to hiring a lawyer.

I used Mr. Armstrong a few years ago.
He is excellent! All of his advice and knowledge proved to be true. He isn't expensive and I believe he will work for you and with you. I can't promise this but in my case he would take my calls and he was always right and giving of his valuable time.

Unprofessional lack of follow up
During my initial consultation regarding estate planning I was handed forms to complete and return to office. While attempting to complete forms I had questions. Four telephone messages were left and not one call was returned.
