Practice Areas

Estate Planning 25%

Concentrating in planning for asset protection and preservation, minimization of taxation, and reduction in probate and administration expenses. Plans frequently include revocable and irrevocable Trusts, Wills, Powers of Attorney with expanded powers and tied closely with Statutory Riders with expanded powers, Healthcare Proxies that travel with you, and Living Will declarations.

25%
Trusts 15%

A distinct planning tool with tremendous flexibility. When drafted properly, a trust can replace a Last Will and Testament, eliminating the need for costly probate, as well as providing asset protection that a Will never can!

15%
Elder Law 10%

Medicaid planning, emergency Medicaid planning, and planning associated with assisted living, long-term care, and skilled nursing care when loved ones enter nursing homes. Planning to help maximize Medicare benefits as they interact with Medicaid.

10%
Medicaid and Medicare 10%

Advance and emergency Medicaid Planning for access to nursing home Medicaid or home care Medicaid programs such as CDPAP, NHTD, MLTC, and PACE to help clients get home help aides for cooking, cleaning, and help with other activities of daily living.

10%
Business 5%

Assisting clients with formation, ongoing growth, and succession planning for businesses of all sizes. Providing analysis of which business forms best suit clients needs and are most tax efficient. Structuring assets to limit liabilities to the greatest extent possible.

5%
Power of Attorney 5%

Advanced directive planning to ensure your most trusted advisors and loved ones can assist you with your financial affairs when you are the most vulnerable.

5%
Probate 5%

Handling all affairs of the deceased, and providing both advice and genuine assistance to families and loved ones in times of great need.

5%
Tax 5%

Advanced planning to reduce future income and property taxes for creators and beneficiaries of trusts and estates. For high net worth clients, I create and implement plans to reduce Estate and Generation Skipping Transfer taxes (death taxes).

5%
Wills and Living Wills 5%

Will: an archaic legal document largely replaced by Trusts in good planning. Wills transfer property titled in a single person's name when that person dies. They must be formally admitted to court and administered through a process called probate.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
