About this Office
For more than 45 years, I have managed my clients’ legal issues in a cost-effective and diligent manner. I focus on probate administration, probate disputes, the creation of new entities, creditor and debtor remedies, estate planning, trusts, wills, medical powers of attorney, and related documents.
These are highly personal matters, and I am sure to give each client my complete attention to help you decide how yourr personal affairs are to be handled. I avoid personal injury cases, domestic relations, workers compensation claims, and criminal law, so that I can focus on these other areas of legal services. I practice law according to the principle that the object is to stay out of the courtroom, not rush into it. To discuss your estate planning, Wills, or Trusts, power of attorney, or other matter, please call my office to schedule a consultation. I look forward to reviewing your case and advising you of your options on how to proceed.
I have a peer rating of “a/v” from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating for competence and ethical standards.
