What do you love most about your job?
I like meeting different people. Everyone has a unique life. For a short time I get to be a small part of someone's life and learn their story and hopefully help them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The independence and freedom of being my own boss and being able to serve clients in the manner I find most beneficial.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a lawyer with over a decade of experience in estate planning and administration. I’m known for my dependable, professional, and approachable manner. I aim to ease the complexities of succession planning and estate administration because I understand that legacy planning and dealing with a loss are weighty issues that deserve professional yet empathetic guidance. It is what it is, but it can be easier.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, either. I prefer to do the signings in person but can conduct the majority of files remotely.
