I served 25 years in the U.S. military before becoming an attorney. Those years taught me how to take care of people and how to plan and win when the stakes are high.
After law school, I spent more than a decade as a litigator, handling criminal defense, divorce, civil lawsuits, and probate contests. I fought hard for my clients, but I also saw the toll that court battles take on families. Even when cases were “won,” the cost, stress, and damage were often too high.
That experience led me to focus on estate planning and Lifetime Legacy Planning. My mission is to help families avoid unnecessary conflict, protect their assets, and pass on more than money — to pass on values, wisdom, and peace of mind.
I don’t bill hourly. Instead, I take the time to know my clients and build tailored plans that last.
