My practice focuses on estate planning, estate administration, trust administration, and health care advocacy. I have worked with individual clients, couples and families to design tailored estate plans to meet their goals. I counsel clients on a variety of estate planning matters, including estate, gift, and generation-skipping tax planning, income tax planning, charitable planning, and wealth preservation techniques. I represent Personal Representatives in the administration of estates, including filing probate petitions, preparing estate tax returns, funding trusts, and distributing assets. I also represent Trustees in administering trusts.Relying on my background in health care, I work with clients to obtain and secure health insurance and access government benefits, including Medicare and Social Security. I advocate for clients to resolve legal issues arising from health insurance coverage disputes and denials. I also advise clients about the legal issues related to end-of-life care planning.
