As the founder and principal shareholder in the San Diego law firm of Armstrong, Fisch & Tutoli, Armstrong oversees a practice devoted to providing clients with the best in estate planning.
As founder of one of the most successful estate planning practices in the country, he is frequently sought out by attorneys from coast to coast who want his advice on how to build equally successful practices of their own.
Because of Armstrong’s deep commitment to helping these other attorneys, he co-founded the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys in 1993.
His first experience in providing products and services to other attorneys came when he helped found the first nationwide network for estate planning attorneys. As part of that organization, he helped create and market an advanced document assembly software system. His conviction that attorneys needed more than just technical support inspired the Academy.
