Estate Planning 30%

I believe that estate planning is your chance to say what happens to your property and your children rather than the State deciding what happens and therefore is something that everyone should do.

Trusts 20%

I think a trust is an excellent way to sidestep the public process of probate or an excellent tool for managing money and property for younger beneficiaries.

Wills and Living Wills 20%

A will is the method by which you get to say where your property goes. It also is the only legal way to say who will care for your children if something happens to you. I think it deserves more than a form that most people do not have the time to fully understand.

20%
Probate 10%

I can either guide you through the process or handle it completely, including all the neccessary court appearances wherein you must make your case to the judge.

I have handled same sex couple adoptions.

Business 5%

I believe in asking business partners the hard questions up front to avoid unneccessary expensive litigation later.

Corporate and Incorporation 5%

I believe that limiting one's liability is a neccesity in today's litigious society.

Very nice Lady.

She was quite pleasent and on the ball, asking only questions concerning the pproblem,not waisting time. Unfortunitly she is based in Missoula and the drive up to Kalispell would have cost more then I could afford, otherwise I would have hired her !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
