I received the California State Bar specialist designation in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate law in 2010 and the California State Bar specialist designation in Taxation law in 2012. I am currently one of less than 100 attorneys in the state with both designations. I am also licensed in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, South Dakota, and soon to be Hawaii. My practice focuses on estate planning for high net worth individuals by implementing a team approach to planning with the client's CPA, financial advisor, and insurance advisor.
In addition to my legal work, I provide pro bono help to Churches and religious ministries (also on the formation of those organizations). I am also active in my church, Berean Bible Church of Hilo, Hawaii.
