As my friends and family members can attest to, I am most often a man of few words; I generally weigh heavily on the side of listening rather than talking, and I've found that works well in the practice of law. I am not here to try to impress you by reciting my knowledge of the law—though I work to demonstrate that in action—but rather, I will seek to listen and try to fully understand your issue or goals before setting out to work diligently on your behalf.. The focus of my studies have been in the areas of tax law, business planning, and estate planning, and I love helping people and businesses keep more of the money they’ve earned by good planning. I live here in Wolfeboro, and I look forward to working with and getting to know more of the people of this Lakes Region and beyond.
