After nearly two decades of working as a healthcare professional and running multiple dental practices, I was faced with the difficult decision of giving up that profession and my way of life because of an unavoidable surgery. I learned the importance of a living will, a Trust, and a Power of Attorney first-hand when I suddenly grappled with the possibility of never returning home to my loved ones.. Besides the support of my family and friends, my recovery and successful transition to the practice of law was a result of meticulous planning and guidance by expert professionals that gave me the peace of mind to let me focus on my future. My goal as your legal counsel is to be one of those expert professionals for you. I know what it is like to trust a surgeon and a hospital with my life.. As a mother, I understand the need of a parent to protect their children from emotional uncertainties and financial insecurity. As a daughter who sees her parents face the challenges of getting older, I am sensitive to the needs of seniors in our society-the reason I chose to include Elder Law and Guardianship in my practice.. Finally, as an entrepreneur and a business owner for over twenty years (and still going), I appreciate how small legal issues, if ignored, can snowball into calamities that can threaten to destroy all you have built with your hard work. I would like to ensure that the decisions you make today will set your mind at ease regardless of what tomorrow brings.. I am the attorney you can call with complete confidence, knowing that a caring counselor who understands your needs will answer your questions, and help resolve your problems. I am here to help, and just a phone call away.
