I was fortunate to grow up in Pinellas County with my father being a well-known and respected attorney and community leader. When I started thinking about my own career, my father told me that he loved going in to work every day and helping his clients in the best way he could. With my father's encouragement, my own passion for helping others and my love of creative problem solving, I knew that practicing estate planning and elder law was the career path for me.My estate planning and elder law practice is more than just my profession - it is my life's passion. I understand the difficult decisions that my clients face when they are planning their estates, when they are experiencing health issues as they age, and the effect their decisions have on their children upon their death. With the knowledge and the desire to help with the best solutions possible, I know that my clients are getting an estate plan that they, and their family, can rely upon to make sure they are provided for, their family is protected, and their goals are accomplished.I know that I have found my niche with my estate planning and elder practice. My ability help my clients make good, practical decisions, my hard work and training, and helping my clients fully implement their estate plans holds me above other attorneys. I want to help you make the best decisions possible and just want to be your attorney for life. This means that we will be here to help answer questions and guide you and your family through your estate planning and elder law matters.The reality: I love what I do and it shows with my happy clients.
