About Me:
As the daughter of Italian immigrants, the values of hard work, education, and integrity were instilled at a young age. In two decades of practicing law, I have learned not only the mechanics of Elder Law, Estate Planning, Trusts, Probate, and Guardianships, and but also the importance of compassion and understanding in dealing with clients who are enduring emotionally difficult times. I receive immense satisfaction from serving clients in their greatest times of need. What I love most about my job is helping people. Many times a client comes to me carrying a heavy burden with emotional and financial matters. It is very rewarding for me to offer help and allow the client to leave my office "feeling lighter”.
