I create estate plans for families and individuals to address all of their planning needs and goals, helping them pass on who they are and what they have to the ones they love.
I was born in South Louisiana and grew up in Baton Rouge, went to college in New Orleans at Tulane University (graduated in 1989), and then went to Florida State College of Law in Tallahassee (graduated in 1992).
Starting out, I thought I wanted to be a litigator and spend my days in court, but after a few years of working in that world, I discovered that my true passion and skills were more in the area of teaching people how the law can help them and helping people design plans to avoid problems in the future.
For the past 20 years, I've been working as an estate planner, and over that time have helped the families I serve learn about their estate planning options, understand the potential opportunities and pitfalls, and put together a plan to "Protect Those They Love and Preserve What They Have."

I met Richard while volunteering at church and knew he owned his own business but didn't know exactly what he did until another friend said he was helping them with their estate planning.

Richard was very detailed in going over everything that needed to be done. I was prepared for court. No surprises. Good Christian man.
