Biography

With more than two decades of legal experience, she brings a steady, informed, and compassionate approach to guiding families through some of life’s most complex transitions.

I help clients navigate through the creation of a plan that is a complete set of tools used to control what will happen to you and to your assets when you are no longer able to make those decisions for yourself.

I assist clients with the setting up of a guardianship proceeding when their loved one loses capacity, when a special needs child turns 18 or when there is a minor who inherits more than $15,000.00.

I represent clients in both formal and summary probate proceedings. I can assist you with transferring assets from the decedent's name to yours.

I work with clients on the preparation and review of deeds, commercial and residential leases/contracts as well as condo/hoa matters.

Not recommended for bankruptcy

Retained her services to process a chapter 13 and save home. After taking $1500 and telling me I could afford the chapter 13 independent of my husband's short term disability income since he was not named as a co-borrower in my debt, after cashing my check her paralegal informed me that I would have ...to use my husband's temporary income to calculate bankruptcy payments and disposable income. When I told her that his temporary income would not be available for the five year agreement, she proposed that when that happened, she would take an additional $750 from me to convert to a Chapter 7...which would result in losing the home I was trying to save. She doesn't seem to be very knowledgable about Bankruptcy law...But definitely knows how to deposit a check from a struggling homeowner.
