Professional Probate and Estate Planning Attorney
You've Come to The Right Place
Whether you’re navigating probate or planning your estate, you need more than just a legal professional. You need someone who truly understands what’s at stake. You've come to the right place. I spent a decade as a CPA before becoming an attorney, which means I look at your estate with an eye for the numbers and a heart for your family’s future. We’ll work together one-on-one to make sure nothing is missed. My goal is to take the stress out of the process so you can focus on what matters most.
The Attorney-CPA Difference
With a decade of CPA experience, I see the financial details others might miss, ensuring your plan is not just legally sound, but financially precise.
Your Peace of Mind
To me, success isn't just a signed document. It's the relief of knowing your hard earned assets are safe and your family is taken care of.
