Biography
I serve estate planning clients with plans that promote family harmony while minimizing future tax and administration expenses. A large percentage of my clients are government and corporate employees who have been good stewards of their earnings. Helping families makes my job very rewarding as I listen to life stories and put dreams and concerns into legally binding instructions. My clients become friends and I look forward to their visits.

Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
Most Estate Plans and wills are flat fees based on the complexity of the matter. Probate fees can be based on the estate size and limited to the fees allowed by the Courts. My estate administrator handles many of the details of probate and allows our firm to provide personalized, cost effective administration. All appointments require a $399 fee that is a credit toward retained work.
