Joseph S Pearl: Attorney Team

...altogether known as family wealth planning and advocacy.

Mr. Pearl’s broad experience in several areas of law allows him to bring a unique interdisciplinary understanding to his practice of law. For the last two years, in addition to handling matters involving family wealth planning and advocacy, Mr. Pearl has handled complex issues in areas such as taxation, corporate law, real estate, intellectual property, secured transactions and bankruptcy.

Mr. Pearl is admitted to practice law in California and Nevada, and is a member of the United States Tax Court and the United States District Court, Northern District of California and Eastern District of California.

A 1995 Garces Memorial High School alumnus, Mr. Pearl attended the Golden Gate University School of Law, where he received his JD in 2006, and his LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Taxation, with honors, in 2007. He graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara in 2000 where he received a B.A. in Business and Economics. While at U.C.S.B., he was a member of the university’s golf team and received a five-year athletic scholarship.

Mr. Pearl’s family has a rich and deep history in the Bakersfield legal community. His family has provided close to 60 years of legal service to Kern County. Equally important, his father and grandfather served our county in the military.

Mr. Pearl’s father, Arthur I. Pearl, was a very well respected civil defense attorney who practiced in Bakersfield from 1975 until his death in 1992. Before practicing law, Art served our country as a chemical engineer in the United States Air Force.

Mr. Pearl’s grandfather, Stephen P. Eyherabide, began practicing in Bakersfield in 1951 and finished his career as a partner with Art. Steve was the first Basque attorney in Kern County. Before beginning his practice, Steve served our country as a captain in the United States Army in World War II, where he lost his leg leading a parel of troops in Northern Italy. For his gallantry, he was decorated with a Silver Star and a Purple Heart.

Mr. Pearl believes that through family wealth planning and advocacy, he can help others preserve their family nest egg so they too can live the American Dream.
