Experience

Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than meeting with clients, hearing their life stories, listening to their future goals and current fears, and designing a plan that incorporates all of those elements to protect their legacy in a meaningful and effective way. I am passionate about moving clients beyond financial goals to providing wisdom and insight about their personal meaning of life. The most important things in life are not things. The estate plans which I prepare for my clients pass on their legacies, values, and life stories to their families and friends. Our estate plans also help maximizes your wealth and limit your expenses.
