Meet Your Attorney-CPA

My Journey to Polkoff Law

I didn’t leave my financial background behind when I started Polkoff Law; I brought it with me to help families find some peace of mind. I became an estate planner because I realized that behind every bank statement or deed, there is a person trying to protect what they’ve built for the people they love.

A Financial Eye for Family Protection

Before becoming a lawyer, I spent a decade as a CPA at PwC. My job was to dig into the fine print of massive financial deals to make sure there were no hidden surprises. While my work there was corporate, it gave me a deep understanding of how money, assets, and taxes actually move.

Today, I use that same due diligence mindset to help you navigate the tax issues that often come with passing down a legacy. I look under the hood of your finances to make sure your plan is solid, helping you avoid the financial potholes that can catch families off guard.

Seeing the Big Picture

During law school, I worked with the SEC’s Enforcement Division and the DOJ’s U.S. Trustee Program. That experience stayed with me. I saw firsthand how much stress is created when assets aren’t managed with transparency and care. It taught me that a truly thoughtful plan is one that removes the guesswork, giving your family a clear path to follow when they need it most.

I’ve shifted my focus from corporate boardrooms to family living rooms, using that same eye for detail to help you stay ahead of the curve with a solid, careful plan.

Why I Do This

Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to take the technical weight off your shoulders. I handle the complex numbers and the legal paperwork so that you can stay focused on what matters most — the people you love.
