I am a founding partner of Cocheco Elder Law Associates, PLLC, and a native of the New Hampshire seacoast area. My practice is dedicated to building wealth enhancement strategies for my client families' estates and businesses, using far-reaching advanced planning to achieve preserved wealth for generations. My priority is my relationship with my client families and their personal, professional, and estate goals.

My practice includes elder law, Veterans and Medicaid planning, estate and wealth transfer planning, incapacity protection, asset protection planning, estate and trust administration, disability planning, special needs trusts, retirement asset planning, business law, and real estate.

I am a frequent lecturer on basic and sophisticated estate planning topics. I have authored articles on a variety of topics related to business law, sophisticated asset protection, estate planning, and probate administration.

I am often asked to be a guest speaker at community and professional seminars dealing with estate planning topics ranging from guardianships to complex estate planning. I was a weekly guest host of the radio show, “Money Matters,” for more than 10 years on the Money Matters Radio Network. I am currently a guest host of “Open Mic" with Mike Pomp on WTSN AM-1270 at 9:00 am on the 1st Friday of each month.
