Firm Description

Our firm provides a variety of elder law services. These include Medicaid planning, preparation of wills and trusts, tax planning, estate and trust administration, will contests and trust litigation, guardianships and planning for distributions from qualified retirement plans.  I have a standard $370 charge for the initial consultation and it's a lot more than a "get to know you" meeting. The purpose of a consultation is to come up with a unique plan to meet your needs. Once we’ve done that, we can usually quote a fixed cost to implement the plan.  If you engage our service the consultation fee gets applied to your invoice.  I am available for evening appointments, Saturday mornings and home visits by special arrangement.
