Mr. Dorn has extensive experience serving families and business owners in the design and implementation of estate, tax, business and asset protection planning strategies. He made the decision to focus his practice in the area of estate planning after witnessing the personal grief and financial loss suffered by several of his clients and their families as a result of poor planning.
