Biography

I've been a lawyer in Lansing since 2005 and live in the area with my wife and two young children. I started Family Wills & Trusts, PLC after deaths in my own family revealed critical short-comings in the way estate plans fall apart, or are never quite put together correctly from the beginning.

I pride myself on offering certainty and satisfaction to clients and their families. I usually work with with clients over a period of 5 weeks, addressing each nuance of their estate plan and making sure that when our time working together is through, they leave my office with a plan that will actually work when a real crisis like their death or incapacity occurs.

I invite you to schedule a family wealth planning session with me in Lansing.

More about me: I am an MSU College of Law alumni and a member of the State Bar of Michigan. I am also a member of the Real Property, Trusts, and Estates Law Section of the American Bar Association, and the Probate & Estate Planning Section of the State Bar of Michigan. I have also earned Certificates for Probate and Estate Planning from the Institute of Continuing Legal Education 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Most people think of "WIlls" and they think of death-planning. But there is so much more to getting your affairs in order than planning to die, and if you get organized sooner rather than latter, chances are good that you'll live a much more enriched life.
