As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. With this in mind, I work closely with my clients, helping them take small steps today to ensure a better tomorrow. Take Estate Planning for example: if you die without an estate plan, the State of Illinois will provide one for you. To avoid that result, we can work together to ensure that you decide what’s best for your assets, your livelihood and – most importantly – your loved ones.
I have more than 16 years of experience working with individuals, small businesses, and Fortune 500 companies. Prior to joining Lavelle Law, I worked as an associate in one of the largest multinational law firms in the world. If there is one thing that I have learned from my experience, it’s this: When it comes to you, your organization, or your family, there is no substitute for attention to detail. I am committed to understanding all details and aspects of my clients’ issues, and providing them with the highest level of service for their legal needs.
