I exclusively represent individuals and families in the areas of estate and long-term care planning, planning for individuals with special needs, guardianship, probate administration, Medicaid (“MassHealth”) applications and appeals, and community MassHealth benefits. In addition, I provide guidance and counsel to injured individuals and their families, as well as their trial attorneys, to maximize personal injury settlement proceeds and preserve eligibility for public benefits.

I am an active member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and is also a member of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers, Academy of Special Needs Planners, the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Boston Bar Association’s Trust and Estate New Developments Committee. I also serve on the Board of Directors of Friendship Works, a charity which provides assistance and companionship to elderly and disabled individuals in an effort to reduce social isolation amongst these groups.

I enjoy meeting with clients, discussing their lives and their families and addressing their fears and concerns. I am originally from the Berkshires and frequently visit Western Massachusetts and enjoy meeting with clients there as well as in the Boston area. I work closely with each client and take the time to understand their situation, explain the process, answer questions, and tailor a solution that best meets their individual needs.
