My practice focuses on estate planning and probate, helping clients navigate through will and trust planning, probate court, powers of attorney, and everything in between.  As much as possible, I help my clients and their families avoid conflicts through comprehensive estate planning, probate-avoidance techniques, powers of attorney, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. I believe that preventative measures are always better than trying to fix a problem after it happens.  That's not always possible, though.  For situations where a conflict cannot be avoided, my approach is to limit emotionally draining and expensive legal battles to the extent possible while still fighting for you to make sure your interests are protected.. Before opening my own practice, I worked at several other firms, including a small family-owned office, a medium-sized multi-attorney general practice firm, and high-end firm on the top floor of an office building in downtown Milwaukee.  I learned a lot from each of these experiences and was motivated by the successes of those I worked with to venture out and design a business that matched my own vision.. I received my law degree from Marquette University Law School in 2010.  I focused my legal education on estate planning, dispute resolution, mediation, and restorative justice. While at Marquette, I founded and served as the President of the Restorative Justice Society. I also served on the boards of the Alternate Dispute Resolution Society and the Client Skills Board.  I was inducted into the Pro Bono Society with high honors for outstanding volunteer involvement with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program and the Milwaukee Foreclosure Mediation Program. I also mediated small claims disputes at the Milwaukee County Circuit Court.. I received my undergraduate degree from Marquette University in 2005 with a triple major in English Composition, Philosophy, and Comparative Theology. I live in Wauwatosa with my wife and three children.

My approach to practicing law has always been about the client as a person. I try my hardest to give my clients the same advice I would give to my family. I believe humor and being down to earth are two very important traits as an advisor to people. Many people I see are dealing with a recent death and I try as best as I can to make this process one that is as stress free as possible.. Outside of law I am an avid car collector and enjoy scale model building and gardening. My hosta gardens are something I find to be very relaxing and rewarding. I enjoy spending time with my family and enjoy traveling and cooking.. I look forward to meeting new people and hope you will be one of them.

Mediation not litigation not only saves you time and money, but allows you to create your own compromised agreement rather than taking a chance on what a court might order or decide. Any issue or case in an area of law can be resolved amicably and cheaply with Mediation.. I formed CCMA SOLUTIONS, LLC (Consultation, Collaboration, Mediation & Arbitration) and mainly focus on Alternative Dispute Resolutions as a Certified Mediator.

Mediation works well to settle any type of civil litigation. I have resolved claims that have not yet been filed, cases that are pending and post-judgment motions.When you Mediate with CCMA I help you resolve your disputes faster and cheaper, and with input from you, your clients, customers, employees and others involved in the dispute, rather than pursuing time consuming and expensive litigation with little or no input into the outcome of your dispute. I really enjoy resolving all types of conflicts and disputes. I look forward to helping others reach a peaceful resolution of their case or dispute that results in a written agreement adopted by all parties. Whether the case has been filed, it's a grievance or a complaint, I can resolve the issues of conflict before you spend the time and money in court and risk having a judgment filed against you, your company or your clients.RESOLVE IT TODAY...CALL CCMA!!!!CCMA SOLUTIONS, LLCCell.
