Practice & Expertise. I am an attorney that makes the headaches created by life disappear. The basis of my practice includes transactional law encompassing estate planning, estate administration, elder law, real estate transfers, business startups and governance, oil and gas law, and tax law. Whether it’s dealing with the grief caused by the passing of a loved one, the stress of selling a house, or winding through the red tape of starting a new business, my job is to minimize any anxiety caused by those events and allow the client to obtain some peace of mind..
