Orleans 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.
