Biography

I have devoted more than thirty years of practice to:

  • Helping people protect their assets and those of their elderly parents and loved ones;
  • Creating legal structures where they can grow those assets, safely;
  • Providing vehicles to pass those assets along, safely and securely to those they love.

As an honors graduate of Vanderbilt University, I learned from some of the nation's finest minds. As a lawyer, honored by my peers with the AV Preeminent Rating (the highest possible), I strive to provide my clients with the finest, safest, and best results. I would be honored to serve you and your legal needs as I strive to exceed your expectations.
