Joseph Slagley is an Associate Attorney at Jeffrey Orr and Associates Law, where he focuses on estate planning, probate, and trust administration for individuals and families throughout Coachella Valley. He brings a deep commitment to the desert community and a particular interest in serving tribal members whose estates include Indian trust land and other assets held under the oversight of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Joseph was admitted to the State Bar of California in April 2025 and is a member of the Trusts and Estates Section of the California Lawyers Association.
Joseph began his legal career at a premiere Coachella Valley law firm devoted to estate planning where he worked with clients on wills, trusts, and probate matters. He then served in the felony prosecution unit of the Riverside County District Attorney's Office. That work gave him additional courtroom experience and a disciplined approach to preparation and advocacy, which he now brings to every estate plan, probate, and trust administration he handles.
Joseph is building focused knowledge of Indian estate planning and tribal probate, including the American Indian Probate Reform Act, the probate code adopted by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and practice before the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Office of Hearings and Appeals. He believes this work must deliver meaningful value to the Tribe and its members, and he approaches it with patience, humility, and a commitment to the community it serves.
Joseph's combination of estate planning and probate experience, courtroom preparation, and dedication to an underserved area of the law makes him a valued member of the Jeffrey Orr and Associates Law team and a trusted resource for our clients.
