Services
I am a solo practice, “boutique” law firm, providing estate planning, probate and mediation services to meet the needs of my clients. I assist my clients in the planning and preparation of comprehensive estate plans and legacy plans that meet their unique needs. I work with families when the need arises to litigate matters in the Probate Courts of Northern Michigan. I am also able to assist individuals in conflict to resolve their issues short of litigation by mediation.
I have highly specialized expertise and advanced training in the Estate Planning and Probate fields of law. I spend time learning about each clients special needs, listening to his or her concerns. I strive to give each client special, individualized attention. It is important to me that our communication be a discussion – in plain English – so that each client understands the options available and the manner in which each tool or process works.
I have advanced training in Mediation – serving as a mediator for Circuit Court, Domestic Relations and Probate Court matters.
