Partner Roee Kaufman was recently featured in two major media outlets for his probate and conservatorship expertise: the California Post and The New York Times.
Kaufman was quoted extensively in the California Post following headlines about Britney Spears’ recent DUI arrest. In the piece, Kaufman clarified that the incident “is totally separate from the prior conservatorship, which is a civil matter governed under the probate code,” emphasizing that “there’s no automatic connection between the two.” He further noted that a DUI alone is insufficient to trigger a new conservatorship petition: “A single incident like a DUI typically isn’t enough… people get DUIs all the time, sadly, and we don’t conserve everyone who gets a DUI.”
Separately, Kaufman was featured in The New York Times’ coverage of the disputed estate of former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, where he provided expert commentary on the contested “mystery will” at the center of the ongoing litigation.
Kaufman’s insights continue to position him as a leading voice in high‑profile probate, trust, and conservatorship matters.
