Parlier is an eastern Fresno County city of roughly 15,000 with a predominantly Hispanic community and many first-generation homeowners who have built equity through years of hard work. Greg Roberts serves Parlier families entirely in Spanish or English, and the concern he hears most here is asset protection: shielding a hard-earned home and savings from what might go wrong.
Good planning puts that protection in place before any problem arises, not after.
Parlier has a way of making you feel at home—rolling vineyards, family farms, and a hardworking community that takes pride in its roots. It’s the kind of place where generations live side by side, and where protecting what you’ve built—whether it’s your family’s property, a small business, or both—matters a lot. That’s exactly why planning ahead with estate and business law is so important here.
The Barrus and Roberts, PC, through www.brlawyer.net, helps families and entrepreneurs in Parlier and across Fresno County prepare for the future. From asset protection and probate guidance to business formation and planning, the firm works to give clients peace of mind that their hard work and legacies are secure.
In a farming town like Parlier, where property and equipment often represent years of dedication, asset protection is more than just a legal term—it’s about safeguarding your livelihood. Without proper planning, families can risk losing property or seeing assets tied up in costly disputes.
Asset protection strategies—like trusts, business structures, and tailored estate planning—help ensure what you’ve worked for remains safe for the next generation. It’s not about being wealthy; it’s about making sure your family doesn’t face unnecessary risk or stress.
I’ve talked with people who assumed a simple will was enough, only to realize later that their property was exposed to creditors or forced into probate. That’s why layering protection through trusts and business entities can make such a big difference.
Probate is something no family wants to deal with, but too many end up there when a loved one passes without a proper plan. The process involves the courts supervising the distribution of assets, and it can drag on for months—sometimes even longer.
In Parlier, where families often juggle both personal and agricultural property, probate can quickly become complicated. The Barrus and Roberts, PC guides families through probate when it’s required, but just as importantly, helps people set up estate plans to minimize or avoid probate altogether.
Parlier might be known for agriculture, but it’s also home to plenty of small businesses—from local markets to service shops and family-owned companies. Starting and running a business here isn’t just about the day-to-day operations; it’s about creating something lasting.
Business law covers everything from forming an LLC or corporation to drafting agreements that keep things clear between partners. The Barrus and Roberts, PC assists entrepreneurs with incorporation, contracts, and long-term planning, making sure businesses in Parlier have a strong foundation to grow on.
I’ve seen what happens when business owners skip this step. Disagreements between partners, tax problems, and liability issues can sink a business that might otherwise succeed. Taking the time to handle business law correctly at the start saves money and headaches later.
For families who own businesses in Parlier, estate planning and business law are tightly connected. It’s not just about who runs the business today but also what happens in the future.
Do you want the company passed down to children? Sold? Managed by a trusted partner? These decisions don’t just sort themselves out. With the right estate and business planning, you can create a clear path so your hard work carries on the way you want it to.
Legal terms like “asset protection” and “probate” can feel overwhelming, but The Barrus and Roberts, PC makes the process easier to understand. Instead of burying you in technical jargon, the firm explains things in everyday language and makes sure you feel comfortable with each decision along the way.
Clients often describe the process as less intimidating than they expected—more like a real conversation about family goals and business priorities than a checklist of legal tasks.
Whether you’re raising a family near Veterans Park, running a vineyard, or opening a small storefront, the best time to plan for the future is now. The Barrus and Roberts, PC provides guidance in:

California law gives Parlier homeowners meaningful protection automatically. The homestead exemption shields between $349,197 and $698,394 of equity in a primary residence from most creditors without any filing at all, and retirement accounts such as IRAs and 401(k)s carry their own protection. For business and rental assets, a correctly formed LLC separates those liabilities from the family’s personal property. Greg Roberts helps Parlier families layer these protections while they are still healthy and solvent.
Language should never be a barrier to protecting a family. Every consultation, document review, and signing for a Parlier client can be conducted entirely in Spanish, so first-generation homeowners fully understand the living trust, will, powers of attorney, and health care directive they are signing.
Life in Parlier is built on family ties, hard work, and community. Protecting those values through estate planning, asset protection, and business law ensures that what you’ve built isn’t left to chance.
The Barrus and Roberts, PC is here to walk you through the process, making it practical, approachable, and tailored to the needs of families and businesses right here in the Central Valley.

A properly formed and maintained LLC separates business liabilities from personal assets like your home. The protection depends on correct formation, a solid operating agreement, and keeping the entity’s formalities. Greg Roberts sets that up for Parlier owners.
