YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SIDE

During more than 26 years of law practice we have developed and elevated an uncommon approach for estate planning and administration.

Before law school and handling estate planning and administration, I have lived through two court probates in my family: one contested; one amicable; both were hard for different reasons.

I routinely educate clients, (A) starting from scratch,  with first time estate plans, or (B) correcting old estate plans that were not explained by prior attorneys, on how to (1) best avoid court probate, (2) minimize estate taxes, or (3) plan for possible Medical Assistance.

not all lawyers are the same

We don’t pay for advertising labels, articles, and plaques. We earn certifications and degrees that actually matter for our clients. Every employee of our firm has multiple college degrees. This includes myself with three law degrees, two of which are focused on the intricacies of Estate Planning, Estate Administration, Taxation, Elder Law, and Medical Assistance. My assistant Anne holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Our educational, professional, and personal backgrounds allow us to provide a much more comprehensive legal representation for estate planning and administration.

What to expect when Working with us

We want to know you! Your estate plan should tell your life story. No matter where you are in the process, we want your legacy, plus your family and loved ones, to be valued and protected.

Much of our work focuses on numeric projections that will help you avoid court probate, estate taxes, and Medical Assistance recapture. Estate planning calculations still must blend with your personal values. Explaining details and ensuring you understand every step of the process is most important to us.
