I became a lawyer to help people. My legal services are heart centered, direct & honest, flat rate and about the relationship not the billable hour or the transaction. Any individual or family I work with is for life - as your Trusted Advisor, ensuring that the custom plan we create for you works when you need it most.. I work with families, individuals and small business owners to ensure that they have a plan in place for death and incapacity. I make sure that the custom plan we create will work for you when you need it most, and keeps your loved ones left behind out of conflict and court so they have space to grieve instead of having to deal with a beaurocratic mess.. Having a trust or a will is not just for the rich, it is not something you should wait until you are old to do.  Every single adult individual or family with minor children, no matter how modest their means or age, needs a plan in place to ensure that if they die things are taken care of for the loved ones they leave behind. If you think planning is too hard, too expensive or just too confusing, I encourage you to book a free consultation call with me and we can discuss your options. The consultation is complimentary, the planning will be priceless.. To get started reach out and book a 15 minute Discovery Call with my staff today.  We will review the process with you. There is no obligation to plan but the complimenatary planning session will help you get more organized financially and asset wise than ever before.  And you will know at the end of our Life & Legacy planning session what the default plan is for you or your family so you can choose to plan with all the information you need.. If you think time or finances will be an obstacle to planning, think again - my flat rate services make estate planning affordable and I offer monthly payment plans and sliding fees for those who may not otherwise be able to afford my services.. No question is a bad question and it my responsibility to my client to look at the entire situation and give advise from both a legal and compassionate human perspective. I have done a good job if my client is educated and empowered as a result of our interaction.. I offer comprehesive business creation, maintenance and strategic advisor services. Business law is not just about forming the right entity, checking a box and moving on - but looking at the holistic picture of the business, its goals, and using my outlook as an attorney and consultant to be a trusted advisor, to prevent troubles before they are encountered. I ensure all of my clients have essential foundations of their business in place for legal, insurance, finance and taxes.. I offer estate planning for individuals, families with minor children, working class families, and beyond. Planning for after you are gone is some of the most important planning you can do for your loved ones. It is never too early to plan for your death, but it can always be too late. All my planning services are  flat rate and scale from economical to an investment in protecting your families wealth.. When I am not advising clients I teach personal development through spiritual means and meditation, I write bookson gratitude and how and why to estate plan, gratitude journals, poetry and memoir, I photograph the world around me, practice Buddhism, and I am a spiritual Guide in the Lineage of King Salomon, meditation facilitator, and I coach individuals on many aspects of leading a joyful empowered life using metaphysical and secular tools to cultivate abundance. I try to smile and have gratitude for this life every day.  I look forward to talking to you.
