I am a Vermont attorney practicing civil litigation. I strongly support my clients, helping them to understand the process, the choices, and the range of probable outcomes they face. As a classical musician, I have an ability to look at problems creatively, with a high level of attention to detail. I bring those skills to bear in every case, at a cost-effective rate.

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.
