I attended law school seeking to make the legal process less mysterious to non-lawyers. This philosophy still guides me now, over twenty five years later. I combine extensive legal experience and an understanding of the intensive role as a caregiver, especially to aging family members. My own caregiving experience informs my legal practice and the legal planning needed to provide the best possible outcome for families.

My practice focuses on assisting small businesses in their contractual, employment, and intellectual property legal needs, guiding couples and individuals through the estate planning process, helping fiduciaries and beneficiaries through the necessary tasks required to wrap up the affairs of a decedent, including preparation of estate tax returns, and assisting buyers and sellers of residential real estate in the purchase or sale of homes and houses.
