About Sandra
Biography
I’m an estate planning attorney who helps individuals and families protect what matters most with clear, practical guidance. My approach is straightforward: I take the time to understand your family dynamics, your goals, and the realities you’re navigating, and then I build a plan that actually works in real life and not just on paper.
I handle a full range of estate planning matters, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives, special needs planning, blended family planning, and Medicaid-focused asset protection. I also guide clients through difficult conversations about aging, incapacity, and long-term care, and I believe these conversations go best when they’re honest, compassionate, and grounded in good legal advice.
My clients describe me as approachable, patient, and thorough. I explain options in plain language, make sure you fully understand your choices, and walk with you through the entire process. Once your plan is complete, I’m here as an ongoing resource for future updates and family changes.
Whether you're creating your first estate plan, revising documents after a major life change, or navigating planning for aging parents, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and peace of mind.
