I practiced in Phillipsburg, Kansas with my father until his death in 1988. I continue to maintain the Phillipsburg office, but my primary location is now Overland Park, Kansas.  I have served on the Kansas Bar Association's Ethics and Grievance committee for many years.  My practice is primarily in the areas of Estate Planning, Probate, Trusts, and Elder Law, but my western Kansas background has also given me significant experience in Agriculture and Oil and Gas.. Almost all Estate Planning is done on a flat fee basis. Fees for probate depend on state law and are subject to approval of the Court. Other services may be a flat fee or hourly, depending ont he type of service.. I serve on the Board of  the Heartland Men's Chorus and I'm a member of the Leawood Rotary Club. I'm a past member of the Board of the Huck Boyd Foundation.
