Mr. Streisand is widely regarded as one of the nation's top trial attorneys, particularly in the field of private wealth disputes, including litigation involving trusts, estates and conservatorships.

The accolades for Mr. Streisand’s stature in the legal profession are legion. The legal newspaper, the Daily Journal, profiling Mr. Streisand on the cover of its “Extra” section, called him “The Sure Thing” and noted that his resume is “a lawyer’s C.V. on steroids.”
The National Law Journal named Mr. Streisand “Trust & Estates Trailblazer”. Worth magazine named him as one of the “Top 100 Attorneys in Trusts and Estates” in the country.

Diamond, in which he represented the Beastie Boys and Capitol Records … Streisand has transitioned into a nationally recognized trust and estate litigator. His practice is unique in that he is the rare lawyer in the field with an expertise in disputes involving entertainment and intellectual property issues.
