Why me

I understand your family because my family is chosen, too.

Every family deserves the same legal protections, the same peace of mind, and the same expert guidance. I bring deep legal expertise and genuine personal commitment to every client — because for me, this work is personal. It should be.        I want to be your chosen family lawyer, a lawyer your chosen family can trust.

Special circumstances

Every family has its own complexity

Life doesn't fit neatly into standard legal forms. I plan for the situations that matter most — and that other attorneys often overlook.

Minor Children

Guardianship designations, parenting plans, and trust structures that ensure your children are cared for by the right people — on your terms, not the court's. I help design plans that can account for any worst-case scenario.

Special Needs & Disability

Special needs trusts and supplemental care plans that provide for loved ones with disabilities, special needs, or unique circumstances without disqualifying them from essential government benefits.

Complicated Relationships

Estrangements, blended families, and complicated dynamics require airtight planning. I help you protect the people you love and trust and limit the influence of those you... don't.

Pets

Pet trusts that name a trusted caregiver and set aside dedicated funds — because your pets are family too, and they deserve the same protection. I can build plans that treat your pets like family instead of property.

Weapons

Firearms require careful legal handling to avoid unintentional federal violations. I design plans to ensure your firearm or weapons collection transfers safely and lawfully to the right hands.

Collections & Valuables

Collections with deep sentimental or significant monetary value need specific planning to preserve their worth and honor your wishes. I can help you keep the collection together, decide whether to sell or donate it, or ensure it stays in the family.

Intellectual Property

Copyrights, trademarks, royalties, and creative works require specialized estate planning to protect their value and ensure they reach the right beneficiaries. I can build plans with your legacy in mind, including your digital footprint.

Non-Traditional Families

Polyamorous partnerships, blended families, chosen family networks, and multi-generational households deserve the same legal clarity as any other family. I design plans that reflect your actual relationships.

Your family deserves the best protection the law can offer.
