As the sole attorney in my office, I work with each client on a one-on-one basis. Rather than handing your file to a paralegal or assistant, I personally draft each document, prepare the necessary filings, and maintain communication with my clients from the initial consultation to the signing appointment. I stand by my policy that you do not pay in full until you are completely satisfied with my work. All services are charged on a flat-fee basis and are disclosed up front, no surprises. That translates to freedom from phone calls billed by the minute or being nickel and dime'd for copies and faxes. I only practice in estate planning, asset protection, and business planning, three areas of the law that intersect. Unlike other general practice or multi-discipline attorneys or firms, I devote 100% of my practice to these narrow areas. That means I can stay abreast of changes in the law and new techniques that others may overlook when their attention is elsewhere. I've helped hundreds of clients with their estate planning over the years. Whether single or married, the young or elderly alike, I can aid you in your advanced planning. Call me for a free consultation and let's discuss your current situation, your plans for the future, and how estate planning and asset protection strategies can improve both.
