The practice of law is a journey full of education and experience that continues as a lifelong endeavor in the midst of changing legal issues and today's culture.  Though I became an attorney late in life, my life experiences as a business owner, hairdresser, and entertainer for over 22 years taught me to listen and read between the lines of people's concerns.  My work and schooling have transformed my approach to providing quality legal service and counsel that provides long-lasting benefits that impact generations of families, by addressing difficult questions and by implimenting plans that are customized to each set of circumstances.  Partnering with clients and trusted advisors brings a team strength to our clients, as we work through sensitive areas that are often unaddressed. Talking about the "What if" scenarios before crisis erupts is empowering and provides peace of mind to not only our clients, but to their friends and family as well.. It is an honor to help my clients leave a legacy of wisdom in their plans, along with the "things" that are given to their loved ones when they are gone.. Our firm emphasizes in starting the conversations in families, to help establish plans that will care for them if they are disabled, or when they need some assistance, as life can bring unexpected challenges, and for the inevitable, when they are gone.
