I devote my practice to helping families navigate disputes involving estate plans and probate administration. My trusts and estates litigation practice includes trust and will contests, the removal of fiduciaries, demands for accountings, and contested guardianships. I am also frequently appointed by probate judges to represent individuals facing guardianship petitions, and as a court-appointed fiduciary.. Like all too many of us, I was first intorduced to the unique legal needs of seniors when a loved one developed Alzheimer's disease.  I saw first hand the devastating impact this dreaded disease can have both on the person and that person's loved ones.  Years of watching my aunt start to "slip" were followed by helping my family navigate the complex progression from assisted living, to memory care, to finally hospice.  The one consolation was that my aunt was able to receive the care she needed in the facilities she would have wanted because her family had consulted with an elder law lawyer to protect her finances.. I had found my passion.  After spending the first decade of my practice as a lawyer in court representing parties in lawsuits, I dedicated myself to developing the knowledge necessary to help other families who were facing the same challenges I saw my aunt and her family go through.  I have also continued to use my years of experience as a litigator to help individuals understand their rights and, when necessary, go to court to protect those rights.
