A San Diego native, Gary Whitehead has been working in the law and business sector for most of his life. In 1985, Whitehead formed a property management business in La Jolla. In 2002, Whitehead sold the business and moved to Palm Springs. After completing a paralegal program, Whitehead formed his present business, Gary Whitehead and Associates.

Gary Whitehead and Associates is a paralegal service and accounting firm. The firm prepares bankruptcy petitions, will and trusts, Quickbook Professional accounting functions, income taxes, landlord evictions, divorce and domestic partnership terminations, prenuptial agreements, criminal expungement. Whitehead and Associates also performs fiduciary accounting duties for several senior clients.

What makes Gary Whitehead and Associates unique is its low cost, accessible and “no-nonsense” services. The firm is easy to reach seven days a week and offers free consultations either by telephone or in person. Services are significantly below normal firm prices. “We price our services at about 25 to 35 percent below normal attorney fees,” Whitehead said. The firm also combines professional and experienced business service with no-nonsense solutions. We offer “tough talk for tough times,” Whitehead said.

Last month, Whitehead opened a second office in La Jolla. “La Jolla and Palm Springs are like nothing else in the world. It feels great to be able to enjoy both paradises,” said Whitehead. When Whitehead isn’t helping clients with their legal affairs, he volunteers on various council, commerce, and architecture boards in the San Diego and Palm Springs area.
