For decades, I’ve put the "fun" in funerals for my family's funeral business. Funerals are about celebrating the beautiful life of loved ones as they have passed on. The loss and grieving of a family member are extremely difficult and taxing experiences to go through. I’ve seen firsthand how the absence of clear guidance can compound that burden for the people left behind. There is nothing more gratifying than serving families in need during such profound and challenging life transition. After law school, I worked as an employment attorney at boutique and large international firms litigating for and against Fortune 500 companies for illegal business practices in high stakes class action litigation. The work tested me intellectually but felt devoid of purpose and was far from the kind of meaningful practice I’d envisioned – connecting with people and their families, creating lifelong relationships with them and protecting their legacy. Years later, the importance of estate planning became even more personal when a close friend with two minor children died without an estate plan. I witnessed firsthand the chaos and heartbreak his family endured as they were dragged through the courts for years—and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the absence of a financial inventory, including his cryptocurrency holdings. That experience prompted me to leave BigLaw and open my own estate planning practice. I now serve families in my community because I deeply care about what happens to them—and I’m committed to ensuring that what happened to my friend’s family doesn’t happen to anyone else’s.
