About Clint

I was raised in Southern California and married Katherine, the love of my life in 1979. We have five children and eight grandchildren, and counting... We raised our family in Mesa Arizona where I have worked my entire career. I have been involved with everything from Little League to United Way to junior high musicals, where I played the trumpet in the pit.

I love what I do. I give people peace of mind, setting up a Plan so their family won't have to hassle with a probate case. I especially enjoy helping small business owners and licensed professionals separate their personal wealth from their potential liabilities.

Practice areas

Estate planning: 50%
I wrote the book about trusts and wills. (Find it on my website or on Amazon). People who have a business, a home, or children need to think about setting up an effective estate plan. I help put that plan together and then fund it.
20 years, 1,000 cases
Trusts: 40%
I form revocable living trusts, including Special Needs Trust provisions, together with Wills, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills.
20 years, 1,000 cases
Business: 10%
I organize business entities such as Limited Liability Companies (LLC) and corporations. I also integrate those plans into estate plans, with an eye toward protecting my clients' wealth.
23 years, 200 cases

Clint helped us with our estate planning needs and clearly defined the process and we wrapped it up in a week. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. Would certainly recommend.
