Individuals, families, and small business owners often need assistance with estate planning. Too often, those who provide guidance on estate planning take a one-size fits all approach.

The probate process can be complex; particularly if your loved one died without leaving a will, a trust, or other instructions as to the disposition of their estate.
Fortunately, there are laws in place to protect seniors. As our loved ones age, they often fall victim to unscrupulous people who take advantage of them.
Buying or selling a home is the most significant financial transaction that many individuals undertake in their lifetime.
My goal is to build a lifelong legal relationship with each client one pivotal life moment at a time. To that end, I have focused my practice in the specific areas of estate planning, probate, adult guardianship, and real estate. I provide personalized legal services unique to each individual client’s needs – both legal and financial.
Prior to my practice of law, I worked for 15 years in the federal government investigating complaints of discrimination in education, conducting compliance reviews and negotiating compliance agreements. After passing the state bar exam I established my practice and continued working with the federal government in the area of transportation planning and program oversight. Retiring from the federal government with 34 years of service in 2013. Through my public service experience, I gained valuable experience which I've incorporated into my current solo practice.
I am a member of the Illinois State Bar Association as well as the Chicago Bar Association. I serve my community as a mediator and holds leadership roles at my church.
I believe that each client and their situation is unique, and as such, deserves an individualized approach to handling their legal needs. I look forward to sitting down and creating a plan that fits YOU.
