Estate planning

Estate planning is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and secure your future — whether facing death, divorce, or unexpected illness. A carefully prepared will helps avoid disputes between heirs. A well-drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement minimizes conflict in the event of divorce. A durable power of attorney allows you to determine in advance who will manage your affairs if you are no longer able to do so due to illness. I will meet with you personally to review your situation and prepare the appropriate documents — a will, marital agreement, or durable power of attorney — so you can confidently safeguard your future and your family's well-being.

Criminal Law and restraining orders

• Domestic violence and sexual assault cases
• Restraining orders

I specialize in supporting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I vigorously advocate for my clients' best interests throughout all proceedings.

Violence can appear in many different forms. It may include economic abuse (such as payment fraud, identity theft, embezzlement, or controlling assets), harassment (disturbing the peace of the home, violating communication peace, defamation, or stalking), physical assault, or sexual violence.

If you are a victim of a crime, I will be by your side throughout the entire difficult process. I will also make sure you receive all the compensation you are entitled to under the law.

If you are suspected of a crime and need a strong defense attorney to protect your rights from the pre-trial investigation all the way through to the courtroom, I will be your legal professional walking beside you every step of the way.

A restraining order is a protective measure that legally restricts a person who is unreasonably harassing or threatening you. It sets clear boundaries through official proceedings, which they cannot violate without facing criminal penalties. I can help you evaluate whether the harassment or threat has reached the level required for a restraining order and assist you in obtaining this protection.
