(More recently, as part-time General Counsel for Pima Medical Institute - a private, allied health, vocational school - I have learned much about education law.) I have been in Tucson for 59+ years. I graduated from Beloit College and from the U of A College of Law.. Presently, I'm delighted to be practicing with Leigh Bernstein - a terrific elder law lawyer - and Matthew Scarber, our very talented associate attorney.* Leigh and I are very blessed in so many ways! We share a great life together. We enjoy our work and play lives. We like wtching Matt turn into a really good lawyer. We appreciate our staff people, who show up wanting to help. Best of all, in this mix, is the fact that we make an okay living serving others. People who need good advice and professionals who focus on solving their problems.. *Leigh and I are also Licensed Fiduciaries. Through Southern Arizona Fiduciary Services LLC we act as trustees, conservators, and personal representatives.
