About Alina Gonzalez-Dockery
Hi, I'm Alina. I grew up in Lakeland, Florida, as the youngest of three children in a family of Cuban refugees. From a young age, my parents taught me the value of community, education, and the opportunities available in this country. My family has always been my greatest support and the most precious part of my life.
Their support is why I am committed to being a reliable advisor to my clients and a leader in my community. It's an honor and privilege to offer guidance and advice that enhances the stability and comfort of families.
With over 25 years of experience as an attorney, I help my clients navigate the emotional, financial, and legal decisions necessary for future planning. I create estate plans that not only meet their goals but also function effectively in cases of incapacity and death.
I believe in offering personalized service to each client, helping them secure their future, preserve their wealth, avoid probate, and ease the burden on their families when they pass away. This belief is what motivated me to establish and grow my firm, Life Law Planning, which offers virtual representation throughout Florida.
I work with clients who are new to estate planning as well as those who have existing plans. I educate them about what would happen to their body, assets, and family if they become incapacitated or pass away, based on their current plan or the default plan set by the California Probate Court.
For clients dealing with the loss of a loved one, we provide estate administration services, representing Executors in probate proceedings or Trustees in Trust Administration.
I am proud to virtually serve Florida in various areas including Trusts & Estates, Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts, Incapacity Planning, Special Needs Planning, Probate, Estate Administration, Trust Administration, and Guardianship.
