About me

In my business, estate planning and probate practices, I emphasize personal attention and building strong, long-term relationships with my clients. In my business practice, I serve as your partner, providing legal services to protect the business so you can focus on sales and growth. After helping countless clients build successful businesses, it’s very rewarding to be by their side when the businesses are sold. I provide the same personal attention and excellent client service to my estate planning clients. I take the time to understand your unique family situation and goals to create a comprehensive estate plan.

When clients leave our office with completed estate planning documents, they have peace of mind knowing that they have a thorough plan for distributing their assets and appointing the right people to care for their children and manage their affairs. When I see the relief on their faces after they have completed this important process, I know I have provided a valuable service.
