My approach to law is client-focused and client-driven. I identify first and foremost with the idea of the lawyer as a counselor and expert advisor. My diverse background in a variety of types of law allows me to competently and coherently explain a client's matter to them and I am committed to giving my best efforts to maximize my client's position in any situation. My approach to law and life is holistic in the sense that I believe all practice areas inform one another. I prefer to find collaborative win-win solutions if possible.. My current focus is probate, estate administration, and estate planning. I have guided many families through the confusing (and necessary) process of receiving Court approval for settlements involving minor children. I also devote a good portion of my practice to drafting documents including pre- and post-nuptual agreements and estate planning documents.
