About Brita
Biography
I am a person who has overcome great adversity in life by always seeking to learn, grow, live with integrity, and try to help others. I am a fighter, but one who knows the difference between a laser guided missile and a shotgun. One who knows when to talk, when to walk, and when to load for bear.
Why I am an attorney? One of my greatest life joys is helping my clients ensure that they are able to provide a lasting legacy for their families. We provide this protection through our counsel, Wills and Trusts. We also provide our services to the famililies of those individuals who did not have the luxury of wonderful estate planning. Our focus is on ensuring that our client's wishes are carried out properly while at the same time doing all that is reasonable to preserve the family unit. We take that responsibility extremely seriously.
Client service is critical to our success. We only take a limited number of clients to ensure superior service. Phone calls and emails are returned within 2 hours (during normal business hrs) and client's always know the status of their case. Our flat fee ensures quality service and fair and predictable pricing for our clients. We appreciate our clients and say thank you.
We would be honored to be given the opportunity to serve you and welcome you to make an initial assessment appointment to see how we can serve you.

Excellent Attorney
Brita has been a life saver. I'm going through a nasty custody battle with my x-husband and I don't know what I would do without her. She has been my rock. She is very professional, honest, always available and she's a fighter. I definitely recommend her.

Representation doesn't get any better
Brita is clear, direct and as rigorous as they come -- she neither shies away from delivering the hard truth, nor does she wilt when she has to go battle. I have seen her deftly, with a single stroke, pull the linchpin out of opposing argument. She is a gifted attorney who I undoubtedly want to ha...
