I have been enjoying the practice of law for 25 years. Probate and Estate Planning are my choice areas, where I find the most meaning in my practice.

Why do I do this?
It's simple really. My family - specifically, my grandparents. Although they are no longer with us, their memory is a constant reminder to me about why I chose this field.

My grandfather was starting to suffer from dementia, and his symptoms were worsening. It was time for them to live in a setting that offered more specialized care. As we all know, the costs of long-term care are astronomical. During this time,...

This practice is personal for me. After attending law school and starting a career in litigation, a close family member became ill, both mentally and physically, and the responsibility for providing and caring for her largely fell to me for many years.
