I am a sole practitioner who works primarily in the area of elder law, estate planning, and probate. My goal is to provide solutions to elders and their families facing the legal challenges associated with aging.

I work out of small office in Fairview on Halsey. I had always dreamed of having my own modest practice where I could give my clients personal attention and work in the areas of law that interest me. In pursuit of that goal, did post-law school studies in the Portland State University gerontology program. In 2003, I opened the practice.

I meet with my clients personally to tackle estate planning problems, Medicaid eligibility issues, and the many legal uncertainties that accompany aging. I help families with guardianships, conservatorships, long term care problems, and protection of family assets. When death occurs I can provide sympathetic and economical guidance through the probate process.


I am comfortable meeting clients and their families at my office, in their homes, or at long term care facilities. Being from a family of modest means myself, I have designed a practice that allows me to use computers to reduce legal fees. I can do many tasks for a flat fee, and even when I can't, my fees are designed to make legal representation available to people of moderate income.
