With more than 30 years of experience, I offer counsel and guidance to my clients asthey navigate their financial challenges and opportunities, including Estate Planning(Wills and Trusts), the settlement of Estates (Probate), Bankruptcy, and the dissolutionof marriage and business partnerships.

I do not handle Criminal or CPS cases. We care about our clients and take pride in our empathetic, caring, and efficient approach with the people we serve. I was lucky in High School to have an outstanding math teacher who made me comfortable with numbers. After taking a lot of math for fun in college, I decided that I wanted to use those math skills in my career as an Attorney to help every day people with their own real life math problems.
