Elisabeth Kempe-Olinger – Redlands Estate Planning Attorney

Elisabeth Kempe-Olinger has been practicing law as a solo practitioner in the Inland Empire Area for over 36 years. Elisabeth’s practice is the successor to the Law Office of Lawrence A. Hutton (Dec.), a local fixture for over 50 years. She was born and raised in Germany, coming to the United States because of her love for this country. She is proud to have become an American citizen.

Mrs. Kempe-Olinger was driven to become an attorney by her interest in assisting people and her sense of justice. Her experience as an elementary school teacher prior to becoming a lawyer helped provide her with the skills needed to explain legal terms in language that is easily understood, as well as to listen to and guide her clients. She has been particularly enriched by her acquaintance with older clients and their life experiences, and therefore she has developed her practice with a focus on the mature client. Elisabeth and her staff strive to provide excellent professional services to her clients, and to establish lasting relationships with them and their families.
