Orange County Lawyers

I am a problem-solver by nature. I believe the essence of being a lawyer is helping people respond to life’s challenges. My primary practice area is in elder law, but I work with people on many different issues, most involving the complex relationships between people and property (real, personal, and intellectual [trademarks, copyright]). Outside of work, I'm an aspiring polymath, which recently has prompted me to seek a degree in Electrical Engineering.

If you're planning for your legacy, applying for Medicaid, or in a dispute with a neighbor or family, Otter Creek Law can help.

I became an attorney so I could help ordinary people fight for the things they are entitled to.

I am very detail-oriented and learn the specifics of each case by really listening to my clients and what they need. Although the legal process...

I have been practicing law for more than 40 years, and I am a founding partner in the firm. I have chosen to specialize in helping people with personal injuries because I care.

One case that was particularly meaningful for me was when I represented a man who had been a laborer all of his life. He was essentially at the end of his career and he fell and injured his back. He had no high school diploma...

Trusts and Estates attorney licensed in Vermont and Massachusetts.

I often hear from friends that they would love to have a lawyer review a contract for them, or advise them on some issue, but they can’t afford it. I often retort that they may not be able to afford not to hire an attorney. I am not being flip when I say this, because it is my experience that many of those people end up calling me after they’ve already suffered the consequences of their decision to forgo legal representation. However, this does little to address the underlying problem. That is, that many cannot afford the...
