About Nicole
Biography
If you need an attorney who will explain the law in plain English, respond promptly to your calls and emails, and provide the guidance your family needs to achieve its goals, I invite you to reach out. I will work with you to create an estate plan that is tailored to your unique situation—one that effectively protects your finances, supports your family, and plans for your future.
In addition to estate planning, I work closely with families who need immediate guidance for long-term care planning. I often assist adult children making important decisions for their parents, helping them use assets wisely, strategize for Medicaid eligibility, and navigate the spend-down process. I also take on the burden of preparing, filing, and managing the Medicaid (T19) application from start to finish.
If a loved one has recently passed away, I can guide you through the probate process, making it clear, manageable, and as stress-free as possible. My goal is to help you understand each step while taking the weight of the process off your shoulders.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or to schedule a meeting. Whether you need a Will, Trust, Advanced Directives, long-term care planning, or assistance with a Medicaid application, I am here to help you and your family with clarity and care.
