About Joanna
Biography
As a trusts and estates attorney, I enjoy helping families reach their goals by customizing the planning to fit their needs. Every family is different and it is important to learn and understand the family dynamic in order to properly plan. I take the time to get to know my clients and understand what their family's needs are. I believe this sets me apart from other attorneys and certainly from the do-it-yourself estate planning softwares out there. If you have questions about estate planning, I'd be happy to sit down and discuss with you.
