    There is a difference between a lawyer who simply draws up legal documents and a trusted attorney and advisor who helps protect you and plan for your future. Life doesn’t operate within strict guidelines. Nor does it take place between 9 and 5. This is why, when you come to me, you’ll find non-traditional hours, a diversity of legal services, and a law practice that genuinely goes above and beyond what you might expect.

    With over 30 years experience in the legal profession, I have the ability to ask the right questions in order to reveal areas that need attention. For instance:

    • What documents are part of an Estate Plan and what information do I need to provide? I can help you define what you need.
    • What planning can I do to preserve my savings and pass them on to my heirs? We will talk and find the best solution for you.
    • How should I take title when buying real estate and what type of property is best for me? I have experience with many different types of situations.
    • How can I resolve a family dispute without going to court? I am a trained mediator and can help you resolve the dispute.
    • What type of business entity is best for my situation? We will look at the factors involved and I’ll help you make a choice.

    With hours and services that are customized to suit you, I truly work with your schedule and needs, so we can meet at mutually convenient times. In addition, I will gladly visit your home or office.
