Practice Areas

A narrow practice, by design.

I concentrate on the legal matters most of us encounter at some point in life — and a small-business practice for the entrepreneurs I have worked with since my in-house counsel days.

01

Wills

Simple wills, complex wills, codicils, and periodic reviews. We start with how your family actually works — not a template.

  • Simple & complex wills
  • Codicils & amendments
  • Will reviews & updates
  • Guardianship designations
02

Trusts

Revocable living trusts, special-needs trusts, and trust funding done correctly. The document is only half the work.

  • Revocable living trusts
  • Special-needs trusts
  • Trust funding & retitling
  • Trustee guidance
03

Probate & Estate Administration

From the first call to the Register of Wills through final distribution, with the PA inheritance tax handled on time.

  • Opening the estate
  • Inventory & date-of-death valuations
  • PA inheritance tax returns

"If your matter is outside my practice, I will not guess — I will point you to a colleague with the right expertise."
