Elder Law 40%

Much of my practice is devoted to Conservatorship law. Conservatorships are most typical where elderly adults can no longer care for themselves either financially or personally, and need another person to become their surogate decision maker. This is typically a last resort that takes place after exploring less instrusive means to care for the adult in need. I am also on the Superior Court's attorney panel from which I am privleged to accept appointments representing those in need.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
