After graduating with distinction from McGeorge School of law in Sacramento in 2004, I practiced as a junior trial lawyer for a mid-size firm in Sacramento. It was fun work at times, but the lifestyle just wasn’t for me. In fact, I used to sit and dream at my desk about going out on my own and working on important personal matters with my clients that impacted their lives in a positive way.

After a year and-a-half with that firm, I stepped out on my own and started learning everything I could about how to work with clients on their trust and estate matters. I joined the premier national association of estate planning attorneys, and purchased training and other resources from some of the top minds and practitioners in the industry. Then, after practicing on my own for a while, I was fortunate to receive the opportunity to work inside three well established estate planning law firms. While at these firms, I received hands on training from distinguished and respected specialist attorneys before ultimately going back out on my own again (which has always been the right fit for me).​

The result of all of the above experiences is that I’ve attained a level of knowledge in the area of trust and estate law that few attorneys have. I’ve personally drafted hundreds of California living trusts and wills, from basic to highly complex. What’s more, the plans truly work. To date, none of my clients I’ve drafted a trust for have had to go through any probate proceedings or similar inconveniences following a death. I’m at a sweet spot in my career where I know what I’m doing, and believe I still have a long time left to continue to do it.​

I serve my community by presenting educational events every year, including seminars for the Alzheimer’s Association, as well as private events for local associations of financial and tax advisors, banks, and real estate professionals.
