About Cornelius

Learn Cornelius’s areas of practice.

5
Practice areas
  1. Estate planning
    60%
    When a solid estate plan has been created, you will have peace of mind knowing that your children will be cared for by guardians chosen by you, not by the courts, or taken care of financially when you are no longer here.

  2. Elder law
    10%
    We help clients qualify for government medical benefits legally and ensure their estates are preserved for their families, instead of their nest egg being wiped out by high nursing home expenses.

  3. Probate
    10%
    We help families who have experienced the loss of a loved one with the ensuing Probate or Trust Administration process.

  4. Tax
    10%

  5. Trusts
    10%
    Our firm helps families preserve their wealth for future generations, minimize estate taxes, and avoid the expense and nightmare of probate.

I am an attorney whose practice is focused in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Administration, and Business Succession Planning. My main goal is to demystify Estate Planning for my clients so they can gain peace of mind knowing that they have provided for their families by passing along their hard-earned wealth and by minimizing the stress they will experience if the client becomes incapacitated or dies. I have created the firm with the belief that an estate plan should be driven by the unique needs and desires of each unique client. That’s why there are no “cookie cutter” plans or canned solutions offered to any client. Instead, I help clients identify their goals and then builds estate plans based on those goals.

Neil put my family at ease when we had to do some estate planning. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, organized and trustworthy and was able to explain everything in language a layperson could understand. I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again in a heartbeat.
