How Can I Help?
“When you are designing your plan, think not in terms of what you need to do, think in terms of what you need to achieve.”
― T. Jay Taylor

Experience
I’ve been advising clients on estate planning, trust administration, probate and fiduciary compliance since 2001. Prior to opening my own firm, I worked as an associate for Nixon Peabody LLP, in San Francisco and Barulich Dugoni Law Group, Inc., in San Mateo.
