My goal is to build a strong working relationship with every client built on mutual respect. My clients entrust me with the responsibilty of devising an estate plan by which their life's savings and family heirlooms will be safely passed on to the next generation, to friends, or to charitable organizations. This is a charge I embrace and enjoy, and it is a process requiring honest communication between client and attorney. I enjoy getting to know my clients and count many of them as friends, and a client must feel comfortable enough with me to share information with me that may be uncomfortable or private. The client should know that I have seen much during my three plus decades of practice and I will never be judge another person's walk through life; nor judge another's person's delicate family situation; nor will I second-guess life choices another person has made. My sole goal is to be understaning and to understand and to find solutions that work for each person's unique life situaiton. I expect my clients to be direct and forthright and I will always be candid and honest with every client. Building an estate plan is a process that requires open communication and I want every client of mine to know how much I care about the product I deliver and that I am always willing to listen and help.
