Biography

We make it easy to plan for the people, pets, and charities most important to you. Since 2011 I have been guiding clients through the creation and administration of wills, trusts, and probate. Early in my legal career I volunteered at the Redwood City Probate Court, where I watched families argue over who would manage and inherit the money, and who would take care of the kids and grandparents. I saw so much heartache and expense that could have been avoided with good quality estate planning, and have been devoted to guiding my clients through estate planning and probate ever since. Every day I help my clients make things easier for the people, pets, and charities most important to them. Outside of work I love to travel, hike, trail run, compete in obstacle course races, photograph wildlife, and provide the best possible life for my fur babies.
