I help strong families through trying times – to protect your choices, preserve your relationships and pass down the things that matter. I take care of the legal matters so you can take care of your family.. I know that the best attorney-client relationships are collaborations, and that the greatest partnerships (professional or otherwise) are built on communication. For this reason, communication and collaboration are the foundations of each area of my practice, and are central to your experience when we work together. The value I provide my clients comes not only from my years of legal experience, but also from my understanding that every family has a myriad of intertwined goals—personal and professional, financial and familial—that should not be separated, but rather approached holistically.. When working with blended families or families with elderly parents, I clearly establish who my client is while recognizing that each member has a crucial role to play. I understand that the encouragement and preservation of strong family ties is essential when creating a legacy strong enough to last for generations.. As we work together toward your goals my role is to draft the legal documents you need to memorialize your wishes, provide analysis of laws and regulations to help you determine a course of action, give compassionate guidance in carrying out the wishes of a loved one (via Power of Attorney, Trust or Will administration, or Healthcare Directives), be your legal representation during proceedings for a protected person, and provide legal assistance in planning for and paying for long term care expenses.. My practice focuses on planning for those people who understand that the time to act is now, even if you have put it off in the past. My guidance and legal expertise are the perfect complement to those clients who know their goals and recognize the need for legal assistance as they work toward those goals.. Education and Accomplishments. My education, experience, and ties to the community can help you accomplish your goals. I graduated cum laude from Suffolk University Law School, and have a degree in Sociology from the University of California, Davis. Prior to practicing law, I worked at Tufts Health Plan for over seven years, in the Appeals and Grievances Department. I live in Hingham and am a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the South Shore Coalition of Workers with the Elderly. I am a co-founder of the Women Attorneys Network of the South Shore () and enjoy cooking, doing yoga and hiking.

At Lannik Law, we distinguish ourselves through a personal, artistic approach to Elder Law and Estate Planning. While many lawyers share common traits, like law degrees and experience, my background in theater and art history shapes how I work with clients. I view my practice through a "theatrical" lens, focusing on long-term relationships, not just legal documents. Just as in the arts, where tradition is passed down, I blend my knowledge of the law with a deep understanding of my clients' evolving needs. From clients who just turned 18 to their 90s, I take pride in guiding them through life's stages, creating connections that last beyond the legal process. At Lannik Law, you're not just a case—you're part of an ongoing journey.

I empower my clients through education and advocacy. I want you to understand your planning and my advice, not just walk away with a bunch of documents that you couldn't explain to someone else.

"My goal is to make estate planning understandable and convenient.". The internet is filled with estate planning information that may be difficult to understand and often contradictory. Additionally, finding time to consult a lawyer may be difficult.. Whether the issue is finally getting that estate planning done, navigating probate and family court to help an ill loved one, or providing for your family's future, I listen to you, analyze your situation, provide you with choices and draft your documents based on your decisions. I take as much time as you need to explain your documents so that you are confident in your choices.. I don't have time to take a day off of work and find someone to watch my children while I sit in an attorney's office and neither do you. That's why I am available in the evening and on weekends and why I make arrangements to meet with you where you are. Let me do the traveling and the work for you, so you can concentrate on making the choices in your family's best interests.
