My Why
What powers my practice
I grew up around public service—my dad held public office—so law felt like a natural way to keep helping people. My practice focuses on estate planning because it touches every family, blending complex tax work with the human side of planning. It’s fulfilling to give clients peace of mind that their wishes will be honored and leave a lasting, positive impact. I strive to explain legal and tax issues in plain terms so clients can make informed decisions about their legacy, and I value collaboration and mentorship with colleagues. In my commitment to help clients, I want people to see that I bring technical skill, genuine care, and efficiency to my work, and that I enjoy what I do.
