I'm a recovered litigator, dog lover, avid theater-goer and Denver native. An avid mystery reader as a kid, I originally wanted to be a PI, then a cop. When I was twelve, I decided I wanted to be on the safe side of the law and become a lawyer when I knew the answer to a contract question posed by John Houseman in the movie "The Paper Chase."
I spent the first ten years of my career doing litigation, bankruptcy, banking, troubled real estate and business matters. But, as my mother said, I'm really a social worker with a law degree - estate planning and administration is what I love! I enjoy talking to clients about their family, their values and their desires in order to provide strong, flexible, compassionate and creative solutions for their estate plans. I also can make the difficult task of dealing with a loved one's things after they pass on as easy on you as possible. And my extensive background in commercial litigation, bankruptcy, banking, and troubled real estate, gives me the tools and knowledge to handle any financial issues that may arise along the way.
