I was born and raised in Miami, and absolutely love South Florida for all of its various personalities, opportunities, and of course the weather - Summertime included.. Estate Planning - Through a series of documents, we design a plan that helps you prepare for emergencies while you are alive, but unable to care or act for yourself; and another set of documents for after you have passed away, to pass on your assets to your loved ones without the headaches and hassles of the Probate Court System. Probate - While it is not necessary in all cases, when a person has not been able to create a proper plan for his assets to transfer after his death, we navigate the Probate Court System for you because we know you have more important things to focus on.

I have been practicing law in south Florida for more than 35 years.  I  taught paralegals real estate law, wills, trust, and estates, and constitutional law at Florida International University for more than 20 years.  My practive is focused on estate planning, which includes wills and trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, probate, and trust settlement matters.  I employ my teaching skills to help clients to understand the complex choices they have and the consequences which each decision to act or not act will have.
