Fixed Fee Billing. My Clients are My Priority.
My approach to practicing law is to make it as stress-free as possible for my clients. That means that I have created an environment where working with my firm is understandable, approachable and pleasant.
I have been practicing law for approximately 15 years and my area of specialization is estate planning, which includes the drafting of wills, trusts and also handling probate matters. As mentioned previously, taking care of my clients is my top priority, and as such, I charge a flat fee for nearly all of the clients that I work with.
We do not charge for new clients consultations and I do not "bill" clients when they call me to answer a simple question! Thanks for taking the time to review my biography and I look forward to working with you and your family to achieve your estate planning goals.

- Q. How do we go about locating an estate attorney for a recently deceased family member, when you cannot locate a will?
- A: Hello, any attorney should be able to assist you with this matter. Many times individuals pass without a will, in which case an experienced probate attorney can assist you with the process. Probate is the court process whereby the family member's assets pass to the family. Please feel free to send me a message through Justia if you have any other questions.
- Q. How do I add my daughters name to the deed to my home?
- A: Your daughter's name can be added by filing a deed with the county clerk in the county in which the home is located. Please note that there are very specific requirements for filing this deed otherwise it may not take effect. Another option is to use the services of an online deed preparation company. Lastly, I would like to second Theressa's opinion on estate planning if you are looking to add your daughter's name for that purpose. Good luck.
