Firm: Wayfinder Law
Practice Areas: Estate Planning
Before becoming an attorney, I saw first-hand the problems caused by not having a good estate plan in place. I also suffered a serious personal injury just after graduating high school. Both experiences deeply affected me and led to the type of law I practice and how I treat my clients – the way I would want to be treated. I can help clients with estate planning, estate administration, personal injury claims, and wrongful death claims. Please reach out for a free, confidential consultation with me so that I can learn about your circumstances, provide helpful information, and get you started on acheiving your legal goals.
