Estate Planning 50%

My practice is solely an estate planning and estate administration practice. Much of the time that practice involves estate, gift, and income tax planning.

50%
Tax 40%

I was a pure tax attorney at a large law firm for nearly five years. That knowledge helps me plan for my clients with large, complicated estates.

Corporate and Incorporation 10%

Many of my estate planning clients are also closely held business owners. So my representation helps them plan efficiently for those assets.

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.
