Specialties

I aim to be known as a lawyer who my clients feel comfortable reaching out to – someone approachable who can explain legal matters in a straightforward way. I focus on offering reassurance and practical solutions to those dealing with challenges. By connecting my clients with the right combination of expertise and services, I help them meet their business objectives and achieve meaningful results. This is the standard I work towards every day as an Associate Attorney at BrownWinick.

My Approach

As a lawyer, my approach is centered on listening carefully to my clients' needs and providing them with choices and knowledge that help them achieve their goals. Whether I’m helping a business navigate complex legal landscapes or assisting individuals with estate planning, my focus is on clarity and practical solutions. I believe in empowering my clients through understanding, ensuring that they know all their options and can make informed decisions.

More About Me
