My practice focuses on advising individuals and families on how to protect and help their loved ones through proper estate planning. This often includes preparing wills, trusts and related documents, but also includes a review of clients’ financial situation and a discussion about their goals before and when they pass away. I also advise families after a loved one has passed away and can assist them through the probate process when one is necessary. I am a frequent speaker on topics involving estate planning, probates, and estate administration.

Through the years, I have been appointed by the court to many positions, including estate administrator, probate guardian ad litem, special representative, and special master. I currently serve as a Pro Tem Commissioner in the King County Superior Court’s Ex Parte and Probate Department. An essential part of my practice has involved community service, including working with clients at legal clinics and serving on boards helping children with disabilities and improving access to affordable healthcare.

I have also created and maintain the website , which is a resource for families and lawyers navigating the probate system in King County.
