I have been in the private practice of law for more than 36 years. I focus my practice on elder law, estate planning, estate and trust administration, asset protection, long term nursing home care planning, and veteran benefits. I am devoted to helping families plan for the long term nursing home care of their loved ones while preserving family assets. It is my objective to be able to provide valuable planning services for any type of family or personal situation ranging from helping those with substantial estates wishing to minimize death taxes to helping those with modest estates who desire to protect their hard earned assets from the costs of long term care. I am an accredited attorney by the Veterans Affairs enabling me to counsel veterans and their families on compensation and pension benefits for qualifying wartime veterans.Specialties: Estate Planning, Trust & Estate Administration, Probate Litigation, and Asset Protection
