I spend my practice focusing on what I believe is my clients’ biggest concern: how to create and pass on a legacy. My job is to assist them with achieving their ultimate goals, supporting and guiding them to craft what is often a profound expression of their ideals for their community and their affection for loved ones. It is a riddle that I can’t help but enjoy solving.

Essentially, my practice is about family. Many of my clients involve families and family-owned businesses, so the emotional stakes can be high and the potential consequences devastating on a personal level. I understand the weight of these matters, and I take every opportunity to ensure that my clients aren’t just worked for, but cared for. I am in the business of people, not transactions, and I want every single client to feel that they have received real value in the services that I and my colleagues provide.

In addition to estate planning and administration, my multifaceted practice includes private foundation and public charity formation and planning; physician practice consultation and healthcare law; employee benefits law; and closely-held corporation planning transitions.
