My life’s purpose is to be of service to others
My career has spanned years working in civil litigation, bankruptcy, criminal law, family law and everything in between.
Becoming a parent changed everything. I saw the importance of Wills, Guardianship, and Estate Planning to protect my family and others. I realized my calling is to bring that knowledge to others.
