Overview

Joe focuses his law practice in the area of wealth planning for businesses, organizations, and individuals. He counsels clients on matters involving wills, trusts, estates, powers of attorney, and marital property agreements. Joe also assists clients with tax planning, business succession planning, charitable planning, and other related considerations. This includes preparing complex trusts to help clients transfer wealth to future generations and assisting clients with business entity and private foundation creation and maintenance. Joe’s clients trust him for confidentiality as well as practical advice.
