Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust Administration and Probate law from the State Bar of California. Less than 1% of all attorneys in California earn this specialist designation. The greatest blessing in my career is helping people plan for their families and businesses.
I am a graduate of the University of California at Irvine and McGeorge School of Law (Concentration in Taxation). I was a tax senior in the legal department of Deloitte and Touche, LLP, before relocating back to Sacramento over 20 years ago. At Deloitte and Touche, I earned the Client Service Matrix Award for national acceptance of a creative tax strategy to be used nationwide for individual and corporate clients.
After returning to Sacramento, I worked as an attorney at McDonough, Holland and Allen, the second largest law firm in Sacramento at the time, before opening my own law office. I absolutely love having my own practice, which has grown over the years from referrals from satisfied clients.
In addition to my own practice, I was an adjunct professor at McGeorge School of Law for four years. I am also an adjunct professor at MTI College in Sacramento, where I have taught Probate law and Administrative law.
I am involved in the community as an active volunteer for the Sacramento Voluntary Services Program, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northern California. I am a former board member of: the Boys Team Charity of Granite Bay, Miracles Through Music and the Riverlake Community Association. I am a Board Member for the Sierra College Foundation and the Chair of their Planned Giving Committee. I am on the advisory board for the Sacramento Bee SacMomsClub, and I am the past president of the Granite Bay Moms Club and a past member of the Sacramento Estate Planning Council.
I am currently a member of the California Bar Association, and a former board member of the Probate and Estate Planning section of the Placer County Bar Assocation.
I look forward to having the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you for your consideration.
