Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I have lived in Florida since 1983. I received my bachelor’s degree in business administration from Stetson University in 1995 and my law degree from the University of Kentucky in 1998. I practice in the areas of elder law, estate planning, special needs planning and probate and trust administration. I am Board Certified in Elder Law by the Florida Bar. I am AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, the oldest and most prestigious peer review rating service for attorneys. I truly enjoy my legal practice and assisting elderly persons with their legal issues. I have practiced primarily in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte counties since 2003. I live in Venice, Florida with my two sons, Sam and Ben. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, surfing, running, and practicing yoga. I have been teaching yoga since 2010.
