Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
As a mobile estate planning attorney in the Greater Los Angeles area, I have the privilege of helping families find peace of mind by putting in place the right documents to enable my clients and their loved ones to thrive through crises. Helping my clients navigate the legal complexities of California estate planning brings me a deep sense of satisfaction and I genuinely feel able to make a difference in each case.
How did you build a successful practice?
Much of my practice has been built through word-of-mouth. Doing a good job is the best way to build a successful practice. I enjoy practicing this type of law, meeting new clients and hearing their stories. I care deeply about whatever concerns them - whether they have health concerns, a child with particular difficulties, or just want to secure their legacy.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Your attorney should specialize in exactly the type of law involved in your case. You need someone who you feel able to confide in. Many of my clients are elderly, with hearing and sometimes speaking difficulties. They need an attorney who respects them and is not in a hurry. Making house calls is a very big plus for a lot of elderly clients who may find it difficult to get to an office building.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Estate planning is governed by California law. Knowing about the history of Los Angeles can be helpful when dealing with elderly clients, so I understand their stories and what they are trying to achieve in the estate planning process.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
In our free phone consultation, I find out about the immediate family structure and what has prompted the search for legal advice. I explain my process and that the next step is sending them a questionnaire to fill in prior to our initial consultation.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
I provide mobile estate planning services, traveling to clients' homes, offices and hospital beds. Busy Wills, Inc. has a transparent pricing policy. The fees for our fixed fee estate planning packages are posted on the website: busywills.com/pricing - so people do not need to worry about the clock ticking every time they call me with a question. I have a masters in tax law from Loyola Law School. Originally, I qualified as a lawyer in the U.K. and had legal experience in Hong Kong and Brussels before taking the California bar two decades ago.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping people who are trying to take responsibility for themselves and their loved ones. I like helping people and bringing them peace of mind that they have done everything possible to secure their legacies and look after their families.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
I have raised two children, so I understand parental love as a prime motivator. I have a dog and a cat. Originally, I am from the UK and sometimes I return on vacation to see friends and family.
Are you involved in your community?
I attended college at the London School of Economics and I am the co-chair of the Los Angeles chapter of the American Friends of LSE.
