A beautiful kind soul, are my words of Alan, who always had kind words and cared about all of his clients like family. He was my grandmother's trust and business attorney & we managed the environmental care improvements of estate properties. Alan also gave SF memories of his frequent humor & kindness in his shared communications. He inspired my legal studies and our 501.c3 advocacy & he lives on as an Angel just like my grandmother Augusta with God.
