I instantly connected with Kevin when I started at our firm over our shared love of baseball. I stuck around for one of his estate planning seminars and he did the impossible: made things like probate and trusts completely understandable. Kevin knows his stuff and can explain it in plain English, a greatly undervalued skill that his clients absolutely adore.
