Before going to law school I did graduate work in psychology because I wanted to help people. Coming of age in the civil rights, women's rights and anti-war era, I thought the practice of law would permit me to work for the greater good, rather than just for one person at a time. My practice has led me in both directions, helping families in crisis, whether due to divorce, death, or the decline of a loved one while working for legislative changes to benefit all of us. I believe I have done both and will continue doing so in the future.
Practice areas
In this category I have included guardianships and administration of estates, trusts and guardianships.
