Randall Melby is a partner in the Law Firm of Melby & Anderson LLP. He is admitted to practice law before all Courts in the State of California and the Central District of the U.S. District Court for the State of California.  He has practiced law at Melby & Anderson LLP for his entire legal career, after graduating from California Western School of Law, San Diego, California in 1977, and passing the state bar examination that same year.

Randall Melby was born and raised in the City of Glendale; and had the privilege of practicing law with his father, Henry Melby, until Henry's death in 1997.

During his career at Melby & Anderson LLP, Randall has served in the following professional and community organizations:

Glendale Bar Association Board of Trustees (President 1987 - 1988); Glendale Association For the Retarded Board of Directors; Glendale Community Foundation (now named Community Foundation of the Verdugos) Board of Trustees (President 1994 and 1995); Glendale Foundation For the Retarded Board of Directors (currently on Board, President 2000 and 2001); YMCA of Glendale Board of Directors (currently on Board, Chairman of Board 1997 and 1998).

Randall Melby has had the honor of being nominated for Glendale NewsPress 1995 "Man of the Year" for service to local non-profit organizations.  He was selected by the Glendale NewsPress readership as "Best Attorney" for 2008.

In addition to his membership in the California State Bar Association, he belongs to the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Trust and Estate sections of both the Los Angeles County Bar and California State Bar; and the Glendale Bar Association.

Randall Melby's practice focuses on the preparation of all types of estate planning documents; post mortem trust and estate administration; probate court proceedings; and estate and gift tax return preparation.  In his estate and succession planning practice he emphasizes the elimination of the need for judically supervised probate court proceedings through the preparation and use of "integrated" planning documentation (i.e., all forms of trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives, etc.), including asset transfer documentation and consultation, to implement the same, for individuals, husbands and wives, and domestic partners.

Despite his overall practice emphasis on avoiding court involvement for individual and family wealth administration and  succession, when the need has arisen, he has represented many clients in their capacities as fiduciaries, beneficiaries, or interested parties in probate court proceedings in most California counties. In addition to individual client representation in court supervised probate proceedings, he has also represented institutional fiduciaries (i.e., Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank,  Northern Trust and United California  Bank), and private professional fiduciaries.
