Licensed States: New Jersey, Pennsylvania
I lead a boutique law practice helping business owners and families protect their assets and build succession and estate plans that work for the people they care about, with the primary goal of creating plans that keep clients and their loved ones out of court and conflict.
Originally hailing from Michigan’s Detroit area, I have been a resident of Downingtown, Pennsylvania (just outside Philadelphia) for the last 25 years. I am also a veteran, having proudly served as a combat paratrooper with the U.S. Army’s “All-American” 82nd Airborne Division.
I earned my law degree from Temple University. I have been an attorney since 1998, and I have worked not only in the military, but also the academic and corporate sectors (in addition to owning and managing several small business ventures), so I understand from life experience what it is like to be an employee, a business owner, a soldier, a parent and a son, and how challenging these roles can be and how they can come into conflict. Accordingly, I serve the estate and corporate planning needs of business owners and entrepreneurs, veterans, real estate investors, retirees, LGBTQ families, new parents, and blended families to help them protect their lives, legacies and assets and help ensure that both their wealth and their values are passed from generation to generation. I have been married to my high-school childhood sweetheart Lisa for 33 years and am the proud father of two children. I am also an avid college football fan who is fluent in movie quotes and music lyrics.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
