About Attorney Awards

Biography

I live in Williamsburg with my husband of 38 years. We have two adult children. I founded my law firm in 2010 to assist individuals and their families in preparing for the unexpected transitions in life.

My firm focuses solely on estate and tax planning. We assist clients in making decisions regarding who will make decisions for them when they are unable to make decisions for themselves; who will care for them when they are unable to care for themselves; and to whom, how, and when their assets will be distibuted upon death. We educate clients on how to best accomplish their wishes and on the tax consequences of their choices.

Planning involves evaluating not just what the client wants to happen, but how best to make that happen. The documents are the end result of that planning. Documents without planning are a waste of time and money because they will not work as intended. This is a niche area of law. I have devoted over 25 year of my life becoming an expert in my field. It is that expertise that attracts clients to my firm.

My firm is cient-focused, and our only goal is to do the best job we can for our clients. Relationships are most important, and we view our clients as members of our extended families. We want clients to feel comfortable and confident that we will be there for them when needed. Our clients know the peace that comes with knowing their affairs are in order in case the unexpected happens. Death is a part of life; it cannot be avoided; it will find each and every one of us eventually. But understanding what will happen at your incapacity and eventual death brings peace and makes the transition easier on your family.
