My practice consists of helping individuals and families in their family law and probate law matters.

 

I frequently serve as a fiduciary, such as Executor of a Will and Trustee of a trust. I also represent Executors of an estate during the probate process. I have been appointed Administrator for intestate estates and Conservator and Guardian ad litem of disabled, minors and other persons by the probate courts.

I look forward to helping you.
