About

The right plans, the right documents, the right time. Attentive and patient planning for life's transistion. Why me? I'm a second-career attorney, meaning that I retired from a career in Engineering and IT to become a lawyer. It has been a great change, and offers me a chance to help people in ways not possible in the corporate world. I focus my practice on elders and veterans. Why there? Because I'm aging just like everyone else, and because I grew up in a Navy family so this is my way to support the troops.
