Unlike other attorneys who practice estate planning or elder law in addition to a multitude of other services, I view this area of law as my life calling. I obtained a Certificate of Concentration in Elder Law while attending law school and continue to focus my continuing education efforts in the areas of estate planning and elder law in order to provide a higher level of service for my clients.. I believe that everyone – no matter the income level and no matter the family situation – deserves access to the protections afforded to them by law. I view my estate planning and elder law practice as a tool belt that I wear for the benefit of my clients; I have access to a variety of legal tools and mechanisms that can be used alone, or in combination, to create a plan that fits each client’s individual needs. Few things in life excite me more than being able to use my “tools” to take weight off of my clients’ shoulders and give them peace of mind. It’s no exaggeration to say that I treat each and every one of my clients with the same respect and attention that I give my own family members in need of my services.. My husband and I are thrilled to have relocated back "home" to the Charlotte area in 2013 with our basset hound, Pierre. If I can be of any assistance to you at all, please don't hestitate to call me or drop by my office. I'm always happy to help or point you in the right direction.
