My law practice is different from most other law firms-- it's virtual! By forgoing the cost of a brick-and-mortar office, I'm able to offer lower fees. Plus clients can skip the drive across town and get customized planning from the convenience of their home or office. I work very closely with my clients-- meeting with them via phone, web conference, or in-home visits (for Clark County, WA residents). I love providing folks with personally tailored estate planning that is both convenient and cost effective!
Practice areas
Getting a will or trust shouldn’t be expensive, impersonal, or time consuming. I created an online estate planning practice that gives folks personalized attention, at a fraction of the cost, from the convenience of their own home.
