I focus on probate and estate planning almost exclusively because I am passionate about helping people navigate and avoid unnecessary grief and hardship. I take great pride in drafting specially tailored Wills, Trusts, and other estate planning documents to protect my clients and their loves ones. These situations are difficult enough without the legal process being made more complicated by poor drafting or failure to plan. It is my mission to protect my client's interests (legal, financial and personal) and hold their hands through the legal process. I base my practice on honesty, good communication, and hard work.. I currently take cases in Bexar County, Guadalupe County and Comal County. I also accept cases in Frio County, Atascosa County, Kendall County, Medina County, Wilson County, Goliad County, Kerr County, Nueces County, and other Texas Counties on a case-by-case basis. I have represented clients who live in Florida, Oregon, Washington, New York, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, and even out of the country (though this always involves a decedent or ward who resided in South Texas). When it comes to hiring an attorney for probate matters, where the decedent lived (not where the client lives) is usually the determining factor.. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, but have also lived in Ohio, North Carolina, California, and South Dakota. I enjoy spending time with my family, travel and volunteering in the San Antonio community. I decided to make San Antonio my permanent home in 2010 and I do not miss icy roads or below-zero temperatures one bit.. I am on the board of directors for Crime Stoppers of San Antonio and Animal Defense League of Texas. I have always enjoyed hands-on volunteering in my community as well. I plan to expand my efforts to some of the incredible charities benefiting children and their families that serve this part of the state.

Having recently relocated from FL to San Antonio, TX I am enjoying getting to know the area through offering community education to families about their legal life planning needs.. I work with families to help them protect everyone and everything they love by enabling them to confidently design legal plans that will make sure their loved ones are taken care of how THEY want. Plans we design also ensure that their assets are handled how THEY want, leaving as little (or nothing!) to the state's discretion as possible when something happens to them.. I enjoy working through the hard questions with people so that afterwards they walk with a thorough understanding and, more importantly, total peace of mind. So, I ask.. Do YOU know what would happen to your children and money if something happened to you TODAY?. Visit this website to begin the process of naming guardians for your children for FREE, with NO STRINGS attached. This is an important step I want everyone to take now.
