About
I primarily focus my practice in the areas of estate planning, estate and trust administration, and elder law. I believe that everyone should have a well-structured and carefully thought out plan for disability and death. As a result of this philosophy, I have built my practice by representing a wide range of clients, including parents with young children, parents with special needs children, business owners, retirees, elderly individuals, and others. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to planning. I take time to learn my clients' needs and objectives and then develop a plan that is customized for their unique situations. If you would like an experienced attorney to represent you in one of these areas of law, or even if you think you may have some other legal need, I welcome your call and am happy to discuss your specific situation with you.
