My focus is special needs planning for families who have a loved one with a disability. I don’t just draft a special needs trust but rather create a lifetime plan for my clients.

Consultant for estate planning

I have had Amy provide training for families who have children with disabilities thinking about estate planning for their child. This is a very technical thing especially when you are talking about assuring eligibility for public programs. Amy was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to present th...e information in a way that parents understood what kind of things they had to plan for when thinking about their child moving towards adulthood. I would recommend her based upon this experience. I feel she would be able to relate to parents and really help them understand the complicated world of estate planning.

Estate Planning Experience

I had the opportunity to work with Amy on Estate Planning law, documents for Financial Powers of Attorney, Health Care Powers of Attorney/Advanced Care Planning, Wills and Trusts. She did a fabulous job for Heartfelt Celebrations, an end-of-life employee benefit provider. In addition to all of the ...estate planning documents, she helped develop our privacy policy, terms of use, client contracts and much more. I would highly recommend Amy for anyone needing help in these areas.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
