About Providn
One Team for Law and Tax
A boutique firm in Torrance built on a simple conviction: legal and tax decisions are inseparable, so the people who guide them should be too.
Why We Exist
Most successful business owners and families assemble their advisors piece by piece — a law firm here, a CPA there, a financial advisor somewhere else. Each is capable. None sees the whole picture. Important details slip between emails, opportunities pass because no one owns the full strategy, and the client becomes the only common thread holding it all together.
Providn was built to close that gap. We are an integrated law and tax firm, which means legal precision and financial strategy sit at the same table, on the same team, working from a single, coordinated plan. Every structure, transaction, and decision is considered through both lenses at once — so nothing falls through the cracks and every move is intentional and documented.
The result is what our clients tell us they always wanted: fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and the confidence that their business, wealth, and legacy are being protected as a whole rather than in parts.
Founder
John Manzano, Attorney at Law
Providn is led by John Manzano, a California attorney admitted to practice in 1996. A graduate of Southwestern University School of Law — where he finished in the top 10% of his class — he brings nearly three decades of experience across law and tax. He founded the firm to deliver both as a single, integrated practice, working directly with business owners, entrepreneurs, and family groups throughout Torrance and the South Bay.
His work spans the full range of issues these clients face: the corporate, commercial, and contract matters that shape a growing enterprise; the real estate and construction questions that come with building and holding property; and the trusts, estates, and probate planning that protect and transfer wealth across generations. When disputes arise, he brings that same integrated perspective to litigation.
