About Brooks
Biography
I specialize in estate and trust planning, with an emphasis on tax planning for strategic wealth transfers. In addition, I provide legal and tax advice to owners of small businesses and rental properties who would benefit for transferrring their interests into limited liability business entities in a manner that will protect their personal assets and avoid triggering an increase in their property taxes. I take great personal satisfaction from earning the trust of each and every one of my clients.
