I was a late bloomer. I didn't even start on my undergraduate degree until I was 35. Perseverence pays off, however.

My practice is limited to estate planning (wills and trusts), probate, guardianship/conservatorships and all aspects of family law (divorce, custody, child support, spousal support, property division, etc.)
