What influences led you to your primary area of practice and what life experience made you to be a better attorney?

Having experienced the deaths of all four of my grandparents, as well as an uncle, I am quite familiar with the various ramifications of a loved one's death, including the emotional and financial factors.

My father, with whom I practice, practices in the same areas, and while not pushed into these areas by him, I genuinely like these areas, rather than say litigation.

Describe your law firm.

We are a small, specialized firm that allows us to only concentrate on the matters we practice in, which in turn allows us to provide cost effective services to our clients.
