My goal is to provide legal advice for life. For individuals, life presents many situations that require legal guidance. Whether you are buying or selling a home, preparing an estate plan, dealing with a minor criminal matter, have been fired from a job, or have been injured in a car accident, you should have a lawyer you can turn to for advice. I want to be that lawyer.

   Businesses have lives too. They start at incorporation and it gets more complicated every day after that. Dealing with customers who don't pay a bill, a piece of equipment that doesn't work as advertised, a mistake on a construction job, an employee you need to let go, or the decision to sell or close up shop are just a few examples of situations that require legal advice and guidance. I want to be your legal department. If I can't help you, I will work with someone who can.

My primary practice areas include:

Estate planning, wills, trusts, advance directives (living wills, health care agents)pre-nuptial agreements, special needs trusts and probate litigation, will contests.
