I have offered compassionate care for my clients for over 30 years. I will attempt to help you navigate through this extremely difficult time of your life. I educate my clients about a subject (the law) which they usually have no prior knowledge, so that they can make informed decisions about their future. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question. When I don’t understand something about my car, I usually ask my mechanic. That does not mean I am dumb, it means I have the need to understand and I am asking the person who has the knowledge and can help me. My desire is to be able to help you.
