Practice Areas
Civil and Family Law Discovery Matters
Discovery can drive leverage in civil and family law, and I bring a structured, analytical approach to each phase of the process. My work with the Eighth Judicial District’s Discovery Commission gave me a clear view of how disputes actually unfold, including the moments when cooperation breaks down and procedural levers may become your best tool. I help clients not only build a strong discovery strategy, but also understand when and how to press for compliance, compel action, or hold the other side accountable. With a twenty-year background designing risk architecture on Wall Street, I analyze discovery as a systems problem: what evidence matters, where incentives shift, and how to apply pressure with precision. This approach delivers clarity, efficiency, and meaningful leverage in contested disputes.
VA Disability Claims
Focused support for veterans navigating the VA disability process. I help develop strong evidence, prepare clear narratives, and advocate for the correct rating and effective date. As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand how these benefits impact daily life, and I work to ensure your service is fully and accurately recognized.
Trust Creation and Estate Planning
Thoughtful and customized estate planning solutions tailored to your values and goals. Services include wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and strategies to protect family assets. Drawing on two decades of work in global markets designing risk structures and decision frameworks, I approach estate planning with the same clarity, discipline, and long-term thinking. My goal is to provide practical guidance and lasting peace of mind.
Transactional and Business Matters
Strategic legal support for individuals and small businesses, including contract review, entity formation, partnership and operating agreements, and general advisory guidance. I help clients make informed decisions by focusing on clarity, risk, incentives, and long-term structure.
