I’m available for speaking engagements for client seminars, community groups and professional organizations.

“I have always been able to see life’s gray areas, rather than just the black and white. As a result, friends and family always sought my counsel to resolve issues and disagreements, to help them see the compromise that lives in the gray. It is this life skill that led me to the law, and specifically my Estate & Trust practice, where I get to help parties, often family members, find the resolution to their disputes in those gray areas.”
