Estate Planning Services For All Who Need It
As an estate planning lawyer, you might think I work exclusively with the elderly, but the truth is that everyone needs estate planning, from young would-be parents to kids heading off for college.
It is my privilege to help you, no matter who you are, set up vital documents and tools that will give you peace of mind if you ever need them and ensure your estate is protected from excessive taxation and conflict.
A Comprehensive And Pragmatic Estate Planning Approach
Estate planning is a broad field, and I am active across the board to ensure your estate and family are secure and your wishes are respected. From trusts to medical directives, from wills to guardianships, I put together whatever planning tools you need to ensure your peace of mind, whether you’re moving forward with your life or planning beyond it.
Fully-Integrated Tax-Optimizing Estate Planning Services
With a background in financial services, I always focus on optimizing your estate plan by minimizing losses from taxation, optimizing access to government benefits, and avoiding the costs and delays of probate.
What’s more, I work directly with financial experts and tax professionals to provide solutions that match your needs and circumstances seamlessly so that you never have to bounce between multiple advocates, each pushing for a slightly different vision.
A Career Built Around Helping Others
For me, estate planning is about helping you achieve your legacy dreams. It’s about finding peace of mind and security in knowing that your wealth and wishes will be respected after you’re gone. While I may not always be there to see my work in action, I am confident and proud that whenever you need it, the documents I prepared and the systems I helped set up will serve you perfectly.
Just as with my work helping kids in difficult situations with the Juvenile Justice Clinic at Loyola and as a CASA volunteer, I find that a little effort and investment on behalf of others can go a long way toward shaping their future and improving their lives and the lives of those around them.

No matter what stage you are at in life, chances are there are estate planning tools you have not yet put in place. And if you have just gone through a major life event, such as a marriage, divorce, childbirth, or even a graduation, those odds go up dramatically.
Call my office now to make sure your estate plan is in order and that your assets and loved ones are protected no matter what happens in the future.
