For the past thirty years of my career I have worked as a trial lawyer in the courts of Chicago and the surrounding counties.
As a Chicago native, my goal is to help families plan and care for thier loved ones. Sometimes in life we are presented with legal challenges at difficult emotional times. As a Estate and Trust attorney, it is my role to support my clients with legal guidance and educate them on thier options under the law.
I pride myself on achieving common sense solutions to complex legal and emotional issues.
