We are pleased to announce that the name of the law firm is changed to Falk, Barrot & Associates, LLP. The name change is in recognition of Kimberly Barrot’s dedication to Falk, Cornell & Associates, LLP for the last thirteen years and her becoming a partner of the law firm in July 2021.
Kimberly started with the law firm in July 2008 as Mary Falk’s estate planning paralegal and the next fall attended Santa Clara University School of Law as a part-time evening student. Kimberly timely completed her legal education and graduated from Santa Clara University School of Law in May 2013, passed the California Bar, and was sworn in as a licensed attorney in December 2013.

Throughout her time with the law firm, Kimberly has drafted Wills, Trusts, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives, gift tax and estate tax returns, irrevocable trusts for estate tax preservation, prepared LLCs for asset protection, planned for special needs individuals, as well as administered numerous probates and trust administration matters.
