At my kindergarten graduation, I announced to the crowd that I wanted to be an attorney like my father. Some in the crowd laughed, and some groaned (see the numerous lawyer jokes), but I like to believe my father saw potential. Many years later, I was fortunate enough to join my father, along with several skilled attorneys and the exceptional staff at DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A.. The opportunity to join a highly respected law firm, and work closely with my father and those I look up to is a blessing. The ability to serve the same community I was born and raised in is an even bigger opportunity. I was born here, I was raised here, I graduated from law school here, and I feel at home serving people here.. As your probate attorney, I am tasked with guiding you and your family through the difficult process of handling your loved one’s estate. This is not a process that most enjoy, and I and my staff understand that. We approach each step with the understanding that our clients are dealing with loss, grief, and difficult decisions. We do not forget the human aspect of estate administration and that is what sets us apart.. As your estate litigation attorney, I am here to be your zealous advocate when an estate plan is unjustly administered, or a loved one is taken advantage of in the sunset of their life. Most do not hope they or their family face legal troubles in the disposition of their estate. I don’t wish that for you either, but if we are needed, we are up to the task of making things right.. I very much look forward to representing you.

For over 30 years, I have drafted wills and trusts and administered estates and trusts in the Sarasota area. In 2001, I opened my own law office with a team of three employees.  After running my own office for over 13 years, I merged my firm into Shutts & Bowen LLP, a firm with eight offices throughout the state.  However, my office in Sarasota is a small office with seven attorneys.  Each person in my Trusts and Estates Department at Shutts believes it is our mission to guide clients through challenging decisions and difficult times to preserve their legacies across generations. My team is dedicated to providing outstanding service to our clients. We know that each client is more than just a name on a file folder. Our clients are individuals and families facing unique challenges and sometimes difficult decisions or situations. We understand. We guide our clients with compassion, understanding, and a true commitment to the highest professional standards and ethics. We strive to “go the extra mile” on behalf of our clients. This environment allows clients to feel at ease and comfortable in their decision to work with our team.. Of the more than 106,000 attorneys in Florida, I am one of only 342 in the state of Florida and one of only 28 in the Sarasota and Manatee Counties who have been certified by the Florida Bar as a Specialist in Wills, Trusts, and Estates. Board certification recognizes an attorney’s special knowledge, skills and proficiency in various areas of law and professionalism and ethics in practice. Certification is the highest level of evaluation by The Florida Bar of the competency and experience of an attorney.

Many people ask me why I wanted to be an Attorney.. It is a simple answer - It is what I always wanted to do.  Everyone deserves a voice in a matter.  That voice should be compassionate and realistic.  That voice should explain to you what is going on in plain English.. I went back to school later in life.  I graduated with Honors, but the most important part of my journey was being a research assistant.  Part of my job was to keep the first year students on track to succeed in Law School.  I am proud to say that almost all of them were able to improve their skill sets and go on to successful careers.  Many times all it took was a little guidance to understand the process.. I bring to the table a knowledge of the law and the commitment to explain to you what is going on in language you can understand.. If this is what you are looking for in an Attorney, you found it.. Take a look at my client reviews and you will see I do things differently...
