Estate Planning 50%

Estate planning starts with your family, your priorities, and life's what-ifs. I help you plan for incapacity, protect loved ones, and coordinate wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations so the paper matches the picture.

Adoption 10%

Helping stepparents and relatives make family relationships permanent. I guide clients through adoption and related parental-rights proceedings with clear explanations, careful preparation, and attention to the child's future.

Business 10%

Helping business owners build a sound foundation through LLC formation, company agreements, and contract drafting and review. I also address continuity and succession: who can act, what happens to ownership, and how the business moves forward.

Probate 10%

Practical guidance after a death, including probate of wills, estate administration, muniments of title, and heirship proceedings. I help executors and families understand their responsibilities and address disputes when they arise.

Trusts 10%

Trust planning for probate avoidance, incapacity, blended families, and inheritance protection. I create, review, and update revocable living trusts and other trusts, with attention to funding and how the plan will work for your family.

Make your wishes clear and give the right people authority to act. I prepare wills, financial and medical powers of attorney, directives to physicians, and HIPAA authorizations tailored to your family and circumstances.

Avvo Rating

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.
