How I Got Here
I did not set out thinking I would one day build a law practice devoted to legacy, families, and generational wealth. In fact, my path here began rather unexpectedly in a trust department at a regional bank.
At the time, I was a single parent who needed a steady job, reliable hours, and the ability to provide for my family. What I thought would simply be “good work” quickly became something much deeper. Inside that trust department, I began to see the incredible impact thoughtful planning can have on families for generations.
I watched regular, hard-working people use trusts to preserve what they had built over a lifetime.
I also saw visionary entrepreneurs who had taken enormous risks, sometimes on nothing more than an idea and sheer belief, create entire companies, communities, and ultimately, legacies that outlived them.
And I realized something powerful:
Generational wealth isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy.
It’s created intentionally, through planning, clarity, and love for the people who will come after us.
That experience opened the door to the world I now live and work in every day. It shaped the philosophy behind this firm:
Planning should be accessible, understandable, and deeply personal.
Families deserve to stay out of court and conflict whenever possible.
Your legacy is about more than money; it’s values, stories, and peace of mind.
Today, my work is driven by that early lesson: everyone deserves the opportunity to protect what they’ve built, care for the people they love, and leave something meaningful behind.
This firm exists to help make that happen with compassion, clarity, and a commitment to your future.
