A Commitment Born from Service

My path to estate planning law began with two decades of federal service focused on international trade and national security policy. I dedicated my career to developing and implementing policies that strengthened America's economic position globally while protecting our national interests. During my time as a legislative fellow in the House of Representatives, I gained valuable experience in complex legislation and witnessed firsthand how thoughtful planning, careful attention to detail, and strategic thinking can create lasting positive change.

My extensive work in international trade taught me that the most effective solutions come from understanding intricate systems, anticipating challenges, and building frameworks that protect what matters most. Whether analyzing trade agreements or developing security policies, success required the same skills that make for excellent estate planning: careful analysis, strategic thinking, and meticulous attention to detail.

My experiences have taught me that true service means empowering others to build secure futures. When I transitioned to legal practice, I realized that estate planning offers the same opportunity—helping individuals and families create comprehensive plans that protect their loved ones and reflect their deepest values, using the same strategic thinking and attention to detail that shaped my years in federal service.

How We're Different: A New Approach to Estate Planning

Traditional estate planning firms often treat your plan as a one-time transaction. I believe your estate plan should be a living, breathing part of your life that grows and changes with you.

Here's how we do things differently:

No Hourly Billing - Ever

Everything we do is billed on a flat fee basis, agreed to in advance. You'll know exactly what your estate plan will cost before we begin, with no surprises or unexpected bills. After our initial consultation, you'll even be able to choose your own fee based on what works best for your situation.

Dedicated Support

You have access to me. If you need to speak with me directly about something complex, we'll schedule a focused call where we're both prepared—no phone tag.

Ongoing Relationship, Not One-Time Transaction

While other firms consider your plan "done" when you sign documents, we see that as just the beginning of our relationship.  At no additional charge, we review your plan at least every three years to ensure it still meets your needs as your life changes.
