Derald is in the process of writing a biography. A few things he shared was that he grew up in Arcadia and was involved in Little League, lived twice in San Francisco, was quite involved at USC and he worked in various locations, including Orange County.

Jonathan Udewitz – Sole Proprietor of Law Offices of Jonathan Udewitz in Malaga Cove
Jonathan is a lawyer, specializing in litigations, tax planning, conservatorships, wills, trusts, probate, estate planning, among other high-end legal services. He belongs to the American Inns of Court and is a PVP attorney (no, not ‘Palos Verdes Peninsula’, but ‘Probate Volunteer Panel’). The American Inns of Court is an association of lawyers, judges and other legal professionals and encourages mentoring relationships. The PVP is a panel of attorneys that assist with the resolution of various probate proceedings. He has two employees working for him. Having personally hired Jonathan as an attorney for my parents’ trust, I would highly recommend him! Please note that we have a Thursday Night Live scheduled at Stripes Café at the PV Art Center on March 21st from 5:30 – 7:30 PM – Makin’ Bacon with the Chamber, in lieu of our Friday lunch meeting next week. However, there will be a Board Meeting scheduled at our usual meeting time on Friday, March 22.
