About Rebecca

Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be a lawyer but it wasn't until my second year of law school that I knew which area I wanted to specialize in.  I enrolled in an estate planning and elder law course and knew that this was my calling.  I have spent years practicing and attending continuing education seminars to gain as much expertise as possible, and I would love to put that expertise to work for you!

Practice areas

  1. Estate planning: 34%

    Living trusts, irrevocable (asset protection) trusts, special needs trusts, wills, durable power of attorney, medical power of attorney (patient advocate designation)

  2. Elder law: 33%

    Planning and qualifying for Medicaid benefits, planning and qualifying for the Veteran Aid and Attendance Program

    13 years, 40 cases

  3. Probate: 33%
