Founder and CEO

A message from our founder and managing attorney:

“I was a kid that lost a parent to cancer at a young age (19). Then my father remarried and I became a blended family kid. My family had no plan and no real understanding of how things work when a parent passes away or remarries. My passion for educating our community about estate planning comes from my hope that if tragedy happens to your family you will be able to offer a clear plan that protects your spouse and your kids from any prior relationship. We have helped thousands in our local community not only learn what estate planning means, but also why it is important so that you can take the next step to create a plan or update your plan to offer that peace of mind to your spouse and kids.”
