A Personal Note from Antoinette
01
I’m Like You
Hey there, I’m Antoinette Bone, and I’m like you in many ways. I’m a wife, mother (boy mom), daughter, sister, entrepreneur, a sometimes traveller, dog lover, and at times world class procrastinator. Yep, I will admit it. It took me a long time to get my own estate planning done. So, I know where you are coming from if you are looking at your life to do list and have decided to get your planning done, finally.
02
Family First — Even When It’s Hard
If you have a parent that keeps putting off their planning, you and I are kindred spirits. It took me two years to get my mom to let me do her estate plan. If you have had a close family member die and were left to clean up the mess because there was no plan, I can relate. I’ve had to help my mom do the same when her husband died with no will.
03
When Care Gets Complicated
If you have a parent or spouse who needs long term care but you don’t know what to do and they are not being cooperative — you and I have a shared experience. My grandmother essentially refused to leave her home while her life slowly ebbed away from cancer. I know how frustrating that situation is and how stressful it can be.
04
For My Fellow Entrepreneurs
For all my fellow entrepreneurs who want to control their own destiny personally and financially, who don’t want their income potential capped working to help someone else fulfill their dreams, and who are grinding to build the life they want for their family and themselves — we are on the same path.
I’m here to help you with estate planning, probate, guardianship, and asset protection, and I believe in making the law personal and approachable.
05
From Berkeley to Baghdad — and Beyond
I’m an adventurer at heart, and my love for travel and exploration started early. That spirit led me to UC Berkeley for undergrad and then across the country to Syracuse for law school. But my desire to serve my country took me even further — I joined the United States Air Force as a JAG officer and lived outside the country for four incredible years, traveling through Europe and Asia.
What most people don’t realize is that estate planning is a significant part of military life. I had the privilege of assisting many service members with their planning needs as a JAG, and discovered I truly loved it. In 2011, when I ventured out on my own, I decided to pursue what I loved — estate planning.
06
Your Trusted Lawyer for Life
I believe in building close relationships with my clients and derive deep satisfaction from helping them achieve their estate planning goals. My analytical nature guides clients through a process that encourages them to consider and prioritize their unique family situations, resulting in a tailored plan that fits them perfectly.
My goal? To establish long-term personal relationships with my clients — becoming your trusted lawyer for life.
Let’s work together to plan for and protect your family, your wealth, and your legacy. I’m here to advise, counsel, and be your resource and advocate — with a spirit of excellence, honor, and professionalism.
