I enjoy dealing with my clients and getting to know their families. I have the patience to deal with clients and their families during the difficult time after the loss of a loved one and the experience to expedite the distribution of estate assets in the Probate Court.
Estate planning is not just forms but getting to know the client and their goals.
I am a frequent speaker in seminars for continuing education for attorneys through the National Business Institute on probate, estate planning and special needs planning.
Practice areas
Probate (Court of inheritance) the legal process that distributes the assets of an Estate to the heirs and/or beneficiaries. Generally for the spouse, family and loved ones. I have the experience needed to handle the probate fast and efficiently.
