Practice areas

I help clients preserve their hard-earned assets through thoughtful estate planning. I create individualized estate plans, which meet the particular needs of their family. I draft wills, trusts, advance health care directives, powers of attorney for finance, and other estate planning documents. I also assist clients with trust and estate administration after the loss of a loved one and represent clients in probate court proceedings, when necessary.

Trust Review
I consulted Melissa to review my mothers frust. I was able to schedule appointment the following day, she was prompt and cordial. Reviewed the documents and made referrals. Graciously declined to change for the consult. I have no doubt I'll be retuning to have her draft my trust, Melissa is knowledgeable, ethical, professional and overall a person with integrity and values. Rare to find now days!
