“The thing I find most rewarding about the practice of law is that I get the chance to help our clients plan ahead for a secure future, and I also get to help clients solve their immediate problems in a practical and cost-effective way. I have a strong tax background and can use that perspective when advising clients how to proceed in estate planning and business matters.”
