The word that has been most used to describe me by colleagues and clients is "caring."  I take that very seriously and treat my clients as family. I am a single mother, having lost my husband in 2012 at age 45 to cancer.  I have become a better mother and lawyer as a result of this loss.  I have a much improved perspective on life and I am even more sensitive to the crises, stresses and transitions, whether good or bad, that my clients experience and endure.  I do a lot of hand-holding and I try to go over and beyond to satisfy my clients' needs.  A a mother, I understand the importance of parenting and modeling, as well as, planning for the next generations.  I keep a very practical approach to how I advise and plan for clients.  I am passionate about what I do and feel great satisfaction in helping clients, both professionally and personally, on a day-to-day basis.
