Estate Planning and Family Law
Steady, Strategic Counsel for Life’s Transitions
I advise individuals and families across Maryland on estate planning and family matters that require clarity, careful structure, and sound judgment.
Where Strategy Meets Understanding
I am a Maryland-licensed attorney whose legal career spans more than two decades across state, federal, and international legal settings, including service with the U.S. Department of Justice, the Office of the Federal Public Defender, and the Nevada Attorney General’s Office, as well as earlier private-practice experience in civil litigation, including family law.
My Maryland practice focuses on estate planning and family law, where I bring a strategic, grounded approach to each matter—attentive to both legal realities and the human dynamics that shape decisions.
