“My journey to becoming an estate and trust litigator began with my love for philosophy. As a Philosophy major in college, I enjoyed exploring complex ideas and honing my writing skills. This foundation naturally led me to the legal field, where I found fulfillment in resolving intricate family disputes.

Today, I find great meaning in my work, helping families navigate emotionally charged conflicts and bringing clarity to their situations. It’s deeply rewarding to use my skills and insights to make a positive difference in my clients’ lives.”
