Lanny Davis’ D.C. boutique law firm said this week that it had inked a formal alliance with Jeffrey Verdon, an Orange County, California, lawyer who handles estate planning and asset protection for affluent clients.

Verdon has operated his eponymous firm, Jeffrey M. Verdon Law Group, for the last 30 years. He said he plans to continue running his own firm during his affiliation with Davis Goldberg & Galper, where his title will be of counsel.
