About Steven D.
Steven D. Kramar earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Southern California and completed his law degree at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles in 1972. The sequence of those institutions shaped an early interest in California law. His J.D. marked the beginning of a practice that would span decades and several professional arrangements.
He opened the Law Offices of Steven D. Kramar in 1972 and served as its principal. That firm represented the first chapter of a solo and small-firm career. In 1994 he joined a partnership as a lawyer at Seltzer & Kramar, a move that placed him alongside other practitioners and broadened the kinds of matters he handled. Years later, in 2016, he became a partner at Kramar Madnick LLP, a role he retains.
Kramar’s work has been based in California throughout his career. He is a member of the State Bar of California and maintains involvement in professional groups in the region. His association with the State Bar’s Trusts & Estates Section signals sustained interest in fiduciary and succession matters. He also belongs to the Los Angeles County Bar Association, where local practice and networking inform day-to-day work.
Peers and clients have known him for steady, careful handling of estate-related files. He has managed probate proceedings, trust administrations, and related planning documents. Over time his caseload has reflected the practical side of estate work: estate settlement, trustee duties, and probate court process. His career path shows a steady accumulation of practical know-how rather than a string of public-facing legal headlines.
Kramar’s decades in practice have meant adapting to changes in probate procedures and tax and trust paperwork. He has operated in small-firm settings and in partnership arrangements, handling both advisory and litigious work when matters required court involvement. The shift from sole practitioner to partner and then to a named partner at Kramar Madnick LLP illustrates a professional arc rooted in client service and collaborative practice.
Outside the office, he participates in bar section activities that address continuing legal education and evolving trust and estate issues. He remains based in California and continues to accept matters that require experience in estate settlement and trust administration. His current practice concentrates on trusts and estates matters in California.
