I'm a dad who know what it’s like to worry about what might happen.. As parents, we want to provide for our children and set them up to succeed, even if we’re not there. But estate planning can seem daunting.. I have learned firsthand that the best way to avoid family conflict in probate is to anticipate and plan around it. Before I narrowed my practice to this field, I advocated for the injured, the accused, and the disabled in proceedings before various civil and administrative courts.. I enjoy delving into emerging legal issues and finding cutting-edge solutions, boiling them down into valuable strategies that are both helpful and straightforward for clients.. I have my B.S. in Political Science from Utah Valley University, as well as my J.D. from Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. I have been admitted to the State Bar of Arizona.. In my free time, I spend time with his wife Alex and their two rowdy boys. This means his latest hobbies include playing hide-and-seek, doing somersaults in the backyard, and running circles around the dining table. When the occasion permits, he enjoys board games, sports, and kayaking.

I'm a 22-year lawyer, practicing in the areas of complex family law and civil litigation.  Most of my cases are high-conflict.  I am acutely aware that my job is not to make my clients' relationship with their (soon-to-be) ex worse.  Years after you forget my name, you'll have to deal with the person with whom you're fighting now.  I am a results-driven, solution-oriented lawyer.  My job is to work myself out of a job.  Each of my clients has my cell phone number.  I am never, ever, out-of-touch.  In addition to my practice, I'm an adjunct professor, teaching family law at Arizona Summit Law School.. I'm 47, originally from New York City, but lost the accent years ago.  I'm married with two teenaged boys.  In my spare time, I write fiction, articles, and collect pinball machines.

I work as General Counsel for midsize construction company.  We build luxury multi-family apartments and have been involved in some of the nicest complex's in the Valley, including Camden Properties, MT Builders and also Mark Taylor properties.  As a construction attorney I deal with drafting and reviewing contracts and agreements.  There is also a need for attention to detail when you are dealing with so many moving parts and other entities.  I also have experience placing liens on properties and also knowledge of Federal Law and employment regulations.. I also protect the interests of my client and employees by making sure protocals are followed and the risk is minimal.

I went to law school because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and protect my own family.  I was naturally drawn to the practice of estate planning because of its positive nature and ability to impact people.  Estate planning is positive?!  Absolutely.When most people think of estate planning, they’re thinking that it’s only for the rich or the elderly. What they don’t realize is that estate planning is really about leaving a legacy – no matter how big or small – and ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of should you pass unexpectedly.  Protecting families with children is especially important to me. My studies revealed a gap, a great chasm if you will, between traditional estate planning and what families really need.  This gap could land your children in foster care, put a stranger in charge of their inheritance (who will take fees for that service), and leave your estate vulnerable to predators even if you have a will in place.  I have made it my mission to obliterate this gap for my clients—guarantee their children stay in the care of people they know and trust, ensure funds are available for the immediate care of their children, and safeguard their values, beliefs, stories, and experiences!If you want someone that can act as a guardian of your legacy, who deeply understands estate law and can be your trusted advisor in the process of protecting your family, I encourage you to contact me!

I was raised in Southern California and married Katherine, the love of my life in 1979. We have five children and eight grandchildren, and counting... We raised our family in Mesa Arizona where I have worked my entire career. I have been involved with everything from Little League to United Way to junior high musicals, where I played the trumpet in the pit.. I love what I do. I give people peace of mind, setting up a Plan so their family won't have to hassle with a probate case. I especially enjoy helping small business owners and licensed professionals separate their personal wealth from their potential liabilities.

I was born and raised in the Midwest and still have a strong sense of loyalty to that area of the country.  I possess strong family values and place a lot of stock in forging long-lasting, personal relationships with my family, with friends, and with my past and current clients.  These things are important to me, which is why I gravitated toward this line of work in the first place, and which is why I have experienced success in what I do.  My passion is for helping families through a very difficult time and I know how important it is for everyone involved (especially the children) to get through the process as quickly, gracefully and respectfully as possible.  I never shy away from a challenge so I have focused my practice on representing individuals involved in high-conflict, high-asset family law situations.  I am extremely aggressive if I need to be, but at the same time, I understand that a swift and amicable resolution is often what is best for my clients.. When I am not working, I enjoy coaching, travelling, playing softball, and spending time with my beautiful and supportive wife Alex and my sons Dylan and Landon.  I also love watching college footbal.  O-H-.....

I was born and raised in Ohio, but do not miss the midwestern winters at all and thoroughly enjoy the weather and outdoor lifestyle that Phoenix offers.  When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter and to stay in shape I swim with a master's team (I swam for Indiana University in college...Go Hoosiers!).. I have been involved in health care since law school where I gained valuable experience in the legal departments of two of the finest hospitals in the country: Johns Hopkins (Baltimore) and Rush (Chicago).

I was a Legal Assistant for 13 years before starting law school, working in the area of estate planning, probate, guardianship/conservatorship, and tax.. Prior to law school I worked as a corporate acountant for a major computer software firm.. I have two grown children and four grandchildren.

I strive to create a trusted and long-lasting relationship with every client I represent. My goal is to work harder and achieve better results than other attorneys could if given the same case and client. I pride myself on taking challenging matters including cases that most attorneys consider too complex or risky to handle. I am a trial attorney who has obtained six figure and seven figure verdicts in both state and federal court. Aside from being an attorney, I am a cancer survivor, triathlete, spartan-racer, author, husband, father and step-father. When I am not winning cases, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family or training for my next athletic challenge.
