While some attorneys avoid high-stress situations, I find my purpose there. It is at those times when an experienced and professional attorney is needed the most. I have several years of litigation experience and have completed over 40 jury trials. I understand what is needed in court, which not only helps with litigation, but also for settlement, which is sometimes the best resolution--financially, mentally, and emotionally--for my clients.

The legal profession is a second career for myself. After 20 years in the accounting profession where I attained a CPA in Illinois and had worked as Controller at several financially distressed companies, I decided to satisfy a long-held curiousity in the legal field and attended law school where I obtained not just a Juris Doctorate (JD) but also and advanced law degree, a Masters of Law (LLM) in taxation with an emphasis on estate planning.. I enjoyed helping the young people in our community and after moving from Chicago, where I had owned a boxing gym, been a licensed boxing coach, timer, referee, and judge, I have now served on the Board of Directors of the Colorado Golden Gloves here in Colorado.

I have spent my career earning client's trust with a deep knowledge of estates, trusts, special needs and tax matters. Many attorney's switch to elder law mid career which is understandable as it is a great specialization in law. Yet to truly understand how to draft a will or trust that will stand up takes many years of experience including handling estate litigation. After spending years arguing cases where my client's felt they were not treated fairly in a family member's last will I know exactly how to protect my clients from that type of situation. Many of our clients are in situations where a spouse, parent or family member requires long term care and they don't know how to pay for it while protecting their assets. These are complex situations but I assist families in this area frequently. A masters in Tax from DU provides me. an edge that not many elder law attorneys possess. I can assist you with any aspect of elder law which includes probate, estate administration , trusts and wills, POAs , special needs, protecting your assets from long term care costs and how to pay for long term care. Feel free to give me a call .
