Estate Planning for California Families
Protect your family's future— with an attorney who actually answers.
Estate planning shouldn't mean fighting to reach your attorney or decoding confusing bills. At Bordeaux Legacy Law, you work directly with Tonya to create a legally sound estate plan—using a clear, flat fee and a process designed to fit your life, not the other way around.
Estate Planning, Without the Frustration
The number one complaint about attorneys? They're hard to reach. Legal assistants gatekeep. Calls go unreturned. Hourly billing makes you hesitate to ask questions. Bordeaux Legacy Law was built differently. You work directly with Tonya, you know exactly what you'll pay, and you never feel like just another file on someone's desk.
Direct Attorney Access
Reach Tonya directly through a secure messaging portal and scheduled appointments. No gatekeeping. No intermediaries.

Meet Tonya Bordeaux
Before becoming an attorney, Tonya spent 13 years as a Navy spouse — living overseas, managing a household through deployments, and raising three boys. She understands what it means to need a plan but struggle to find the time. That experience shaped how she practices law: accessible, responsive, and built around real families' real lives.
Estate Planning That Fits Your Life
No office visits required. Start your plan tonight after the kids are in bed—or meet directly if you prefer.
