I've been practicing law since 1978, after graduating from John Marshall Law School. For the first 10 years of my practice, I was a litigation attorney, handling divorces, personal injury, product liability, and even a few  criminal matters.  I returned to John Marshall Law School in 1987 for one year, to attend their Masters in Tax Law (L.L.M) Program and began my estate planning practice in late 1987. My practice has been limited to Estate Planning, Trusts, Estate Administration (closing of estates), Probate, and Asset Protection, for the last 33 years.  Our office has been located in Mt. Propect, on Northwest Highway, since 1989.

     I was born and raised in Southern Connecticut and attended the University of Connecticut for my undergraduate degree.  I moved to Chicago in 1975 to attend law school. I have been married to the same amazing woman for 39 years and I live in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. I have two adult children, a grandson, and a rescue Greyhound named Turbo. I enjoy travelling, hiking, biking, music, and building furniture in my workshop.
