Estate Planning
Steady, Strategic Counsel for Life’s Transitions
I advise individuals and families across Maryland on estate planning 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.
My Maryland practice focuses on estate planning, where I bring a strategic, grounded approach to each matter — attentive to both legal realities and the human dynamics that shape decisions.
Legal Services
Estate Planning
Clear, structured planning designed to protect the people you care about most and ensure your wishes are legally sound and practically workable.
I help individuals and families develop clear, durable plans that reflect their circumstances and long-term goals.
What to Expect
A conversation before any paperwork
We start with a consultation focused on understanding your situation, your priorities, and what you want your plan to accomplish. There is no pressure to move forward until you're ready.
A defined scope and a flat fee
Before drafting begins, you'll receive a clear description of what your plan will include and a flat fee for the work. No hourly billing, no surprises..
An iterative process
Drafting is a conversation. You will have the opportunity to review, ask questions, and refine your documents until they accurately reflect your wishes.
Documents that are legally sound and practically workable
The goal is a plan that holds up and one your family and fiduciaries can actually use when it matters.
Advisory Services
In addition to my Maryland legal practice, I undertake a select number of advisory and training engagements focused on conflict resolution, stress-informed decision-making, and justice and governance issues, including rule-of-law reform.
These services are educational in nature and do not constitute legal representation.
