“Attempting to represent ourselves, we soon realized that navigating the intricate labyrinth of family law required a level of understanding and mastery that we lacked, leaving us vulnerable and overwhelmed.”

Featured

The Law Office of Guneet Kaur specializes in Family Law and Estate Planning on the Central Coast, from Santa Maria to Ventura and strives to empower individuals and families through legal education. Guneet Kaur, Esq. first came to the US in 1999 from India. As an immigrant to this country, she eventually realized becoming a lawyer would give her knowledge of her rights as well as the ability to speak up for others who felt alone and ostracized. Kaur attended Santa Barbara & Ventura Colleges of Law, got her degree and worked for a law firm once out of law school. Eventually Kaur opened up her own law practice, the Law Office of Guneet Kaur, where she is able to achieve her goal of helping individuals in need. “ The legal system can be daunting. If I can help somebody understand the legal process so they don’t have to live in fear, I want to do that. The law has become my vessel to help others.” - Guneet Kaur...
