I use my legal, financial counseling and teaching background to bring a unique perspective to my work in estate planning, estate and trust administration, elder law, real estate law and business law.
I believes in a personal approach to practicing law and will take your needs, thoughts and concerns into consideration before recommending a course of action. I will also make sure that you fully understand the applicable legal issues and available options before you make decisions.
