While my law firm offers all the services of a traditional estate planning firm, my passion is to solve the issues we face in the second stage of life. I help families stop worrying about their parents' long-term care and help develop a plan to pay for their long-term care without having to sell the family home and without having to spend down their entire life savings. I take great pride in custom planning for my clients taking into account all aspects of their unique lives and serving each with respect, patience, honesty and integrity.

My legal career spans over twenty years. I earned my law degree from University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 1996 and an advanced law degree (LL.M) in Taxation and Estate Planning in 1999. I am an accredited attorney by the Veteran’s Administration to represent Veterans and an active member of National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), ElderCounsel, and the Trusts & Estates Section of the California State Bar. I was selected to Super Lawyers for 2021 as a Top Rated Elder Law Attorney. This peer designation is awarded only to a select number of accomplished attorneys in each state. The Super Lawyers selection process takes into account peer recognition, professional achievement in legal practice, and other cogent factors.
