On the practice of Elder and Disability Law - "Our clients often come to us feeling overwhelmed by their concerns, whether about impoverishing themselves in paying for a spouse's nursing home placement, or ensuring the personal and financial protection of a child with special needs after they are gone, or obtaining essential disability benefits and health care services. These needs pose complex issues. The law itself is complicated and government procedures and bureaucracies seldom help. Also, we need to take into account sensitive personal and family considerations, particularly involving the effort to find a balance of autonomy and protection that is appropriate for the particular client. With seven lawyers and five paralegals concentrating on every aspect of elder and disability law, trust administration and estate settlement, our staff has the commitment, knowledge, depth and expertise to respond quickly and effectively to even the most difficult situation. Being an integral part of a full service firm, the second largest in Newton, gives us the capacity to bring relevant expertise - in real estate, domestic relations, creditor protection, or litigation, for example - to bear on any elder and disability law issues. We are very willing to work with a client's other financial, tax, accounting and care advisors, to help the client forge a comprehensive response to his or her needs."

I concentrate my practice in all aspects of revocable and irrevocable trusts, will drafting, and private foundation trusts. I manage all phases of estate planning matters primarily with regard to tax issues and multigenerational wealth transfers.

Prior to opening my practice, I was an associate at Burns & Levinson and Prince, Lobel, Glovsky & Tye, as well Senior Associate in the Gift and Estate Tax Planning Group at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Tax Associate for Arthur Andersen.
