Robert C. Kopple and Leslie S. Klinger have nearly a century of combined experience practicing law in Los Angeles within the areas of family wealth planning, business transactions, taxation, and nonprofit organizations. For many of those years, they practiced as partners in large Los Angeles law firms. In 1992, they decided to form the boutique law firm of Kopple & Klinger, LLP.
The goal of establishing the firm was to provide individuals, families, small business owners and nonprofit organizations the same sophisticated services as larger firms, but with the personal attention and efficiency of a small firm. Unlike large law firms, many of which have virtually abandoned the practice of personal tax and estate planning, our firm continues to focus on these areas
In 2007, the firm admitted prior Associate David J. Elbaz as a new Partner, and in 2016 formally changed the firm name to Kopple, Klinger & Elbaz, LLP. In 2009, the firm added Stacey Davy as a new Associate and promoted her to Partner in 2017. In 2015, the firm added Jessica Sibony as a new associate and promoted her to Partner in 2021.The firm continues to expand with the addition of Associates, Jennifer Nakamoto and Briana Mora, in 2019 and 2020, respectively, further strengthening its commitment to serve the legal needs of individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations for many years to come.
