I am a frequent speaker on a variety of estate planning topics, regularly presenting educational seminars for the public as well as charitable organizations, employers, associations, special interest groups, support groups, and financial advisors in our community. I always do my best to try and reduce complex legal principles into understandable concepts.
I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to be of service to so many families. I enjoy making a difference in the lives of people I work with. While protecting financial assets is often why someone often seeks my help, strengthening and maintaining family unity is my primary goal and probably the number one reason why clients refer their friends and family to us.

I went to a seminar, was impressed and met with him one on one. I do not have "a lot" of money..that didn't matter... He listened to me and made me feel safe and secure in what he could do for me. I trust him and love his staff.
