I became an estate planning lawyer at the age of 40 because I've been where you are - wanting to protect my family. When a recommended attorney created my wife's and my first plan, like most estate plans, it would not have protected our loved ones if anything went wrong in their lives after we passed away. And we were unaware of the potential vulnerability - we didn't know what we didn't know. Now I know better and am determined to ensure our clients have a plan that works as they intend even if life throws a curve ball.
Our team includes a former ALTCS employee, a Veteran, and other field experts. You don't know what will happen to your loved ones after you're gone but you can plan to protect against the curve balls that may come their way. We can help.

David is a very good attorney. He is always up to date on new developments in his field and has the confidence of not just his clients, but other attorneys who know and work with him. The best way to find an attorney to represent you is to get a good referral from someone you trust. The second best way is to take my advise and hire David.
