I have had the great pleasure to practice estate planning, elder law, and special needs planning for over 20 years now. I enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to work with seniors, disabled individuals and families to provide holistic and comprehensive solutions for their unique legal and financial concerns.
As a Phoenix native, I like to give back to the community and frequently speak on the various topics of estate planning, elder law or special needs trust for community groups as well as the State Bar of Arizona, AzNAELA, and Maricopa County Bar Association. I also presently serve on the Board of Directors for PASRS.
My firm has grown over the years to be one of the largest and most expereienced in what we do, and I am immensely proud to work with such caring and talented attorneys and other dedicated professionals. When I say my co-workers are like family, a few truly are. My husband is our firm manager, and my sister-in-law and brother-in-law work with us too. In addition, several of the paralegals have been with me for over 10 years. We all work as a team and treat our clients like family.
When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 25 years and my two children, Jack and Sarah. We enjoy activities together like travel, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking.
