The lawyers

Team

Every case has one lawyer in charge, but none is decided alone. We discuss cases together, because a dismissal almost always brings a tax question with it, and an estate division brings a property.

The person you speak to is the person who handles your case, and the one who brings it to the table when it touches another area. Below, each lawyer's background, education and practice areas.
