Claimed Lawyer Profile

Biography

I've been a lawyer in Lansing since 2005 and live in the area with my wife and two young children. I started Family Wills & Trusts, PLC after deaths in my own family revealed critical short-comings in the way estate plans fall apart, or are never quite put together correctly from the beginning.

I pride myself on offering certainty and satisfaction to clients and their families. I usually work with with clients over a period of 5 weeks, addressing each nuance of their estate plan and making sure that when our time working together is through, they leave my office with a plan that will actually work when a real crisis like their death or incapacity occurs.

I invite you to schedule a family wealth planning session with me in Lansing.
