It is so important to start off on the right foot when preparing legal documents as estate planning is not simply a compilation of paperwork.  Costly mistakes tend to happen when you don't receive proper legal advisement.  Let us help you prepare your will or living trust.    A friendly and experienced attorney will guide you from the application process through the signing of your documents.  We will notarize and witness your documents at no additional charge, and your paperwork will be validly executed before you leave our office.

Additionally, we assist clients who had their estate plans prepared elsewhere and need the occasional amendment, codicil, or restatement due to changes in wishes, the estate, or the law.  It is advisable to review your existing documents every five years.  From beneficiary designations to proper titling of your Trust property, it is essential that your estate plan is "cleaned up" before an untimely departure.  Please feel free to contact us if you need to make changes or require a professional review.

By appointment only:  We operate by appointment only so that every client will receive 100% of the attorney's energy, time and focus without interruption.  Weekend and evening appointments are available by request.

Our Estate Planning Portfolios are offered at reasonable, affordable flat rates.

Free 20-minute Consultations are available for Simple Will or Living Trust portfolios.  A free consultation will provide you with general legal information, which is not the same as legal advice- the application of law to an individual's specific circumstances.  The purpose of our consultations is to discuss your initial desires, allow you to get acquainted with the attorney, and allow the attorney to make an assessment of services that may be of assistance to you.  We will be pleased to provide legal advice on your specific situation after you accept and sign our retainer agreement.  Consultations do not include a review of your existing legal documents.

Both office locations have free parking and wheelchair accessibility.
