Biography
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I practiced law from 1977. I was a municipal attorney for the first part of my legal career, and then switched to private practice. I conducted a general private law practice, with emphasis in civil litigation and bankruptcy. I also taught several college-level courses relating to various aspects of the law. In 2004, my family and I moved to Florida and have been here ever since. From 2011 to 2015 I worked for another lawyer in Walton County, assisting him in his office, especially with scheduling of attendance at real estate foreclosure hearings in behalf of secured creditors. I was admitted to the Florida bar in 2016.

7261 Questions Answered
- Q. My arm entirely bruised after heart catheterization last week. Not small bruise and bump like their brochure says.
- A: See another physician to find out if the condition is serious. If it is, you need treatment, and you sue, the other physician might be a good expert witness. If you seek treatment, and you are covered by insurance, the insurance carrier may also help with an attorney.
- Q. Does a person who has the Power of attorney over someone have the power to change that person will and deeds?
- A: The will can only be executed by the testator (person who is leaving his or her property by will) or executed by another person in the presence of the testator and pursuant to his or her direction. So, unless it can be proven that the testator was present and told the person signing to do so, the will would not be valid if only executed by an attorney in fact (person who holds a POA).
- Q. Hi my boyfriend was in drug court in Florida and ended up getting a battery charge
- A: From what you indicate, the state attorney's office has agreed to reduce or dismiss the charges. The new court date is to present the plea agreement to the judge and, if the judge agrees, have him released.
