MORE ABOUT ME

Let's Get Down to Business.

Choose the Entity that's Right for You.

Decisions regarding entity formation can be some of the most difficult, yet most impactful, to make. Don't make them alone. From sole proprietorships to partnerships to LLCs, I want to ensure that you consider all of your options, then stand by your side as you determine the legal structure that best fits your financial abilities and goals for the future.

Set Yourself Up for Future Success.

Once your new business is up and running, you may think there is only smooth sailing ahead. Unfortunately, it is common for legal issues to arise as you grow your operations. Let me strive to provide the guidance you need to draft iron-clad contracts, resolve conflicts, and overcome any obstacles that may stand between you and your business's ability to succeed.

Don't Leave Your Family Without a Comprehensive Plan

When it comes to legal matters as personal as estate planning, turn to an attorney who truly cares about helping his clients. Turn to me. For more than four decades, I have been providing counsel to individuals and families facing the difficulties of planning for the future or navigating probate.

From drafting wills and establishing trusts to determining conservatorships and guardianships, I want to help you build a comprehensive estate plan that includes the documentation necessary to protect your assets, your children, and your best interests. Failing to outline your final wishes before you pass away can leave your loved ones wondering about the administration of your estate when they should instead be focusing on grieving. Take action now to minimize the stress your family members will face down the line.

I approach every estate planning case with compassion, courtesy, and authenticity. In choosing me to be your attorney, you can trust that you're putting your future in the hands of a genuinely passionate advocate. If you have questions or concerns along the way, don't hesitate to reach out. I will be happy to provide clarity, seek answers, or simply offer a listening ear. I'll be here for you through every step of the planning process.
