Cases
Living Will A living will is a writing, spelling out your wishes if death is imminent and you are in a state where YOU CANNOT SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, such as a coma, a stroke or Alzheimer's. It also names a health care surrogate to speak for you if you cannot speak for yourself. With a living will, you avoid situations like the well publicized Terri Schiavo case, where the husband and the mother fought in court for 15 years as to whether or not to terminate her life while she was in a persistent vegetative state. Durable Power of Attorney The Durable Power of Attorney is a simple low cost document which avoids the need for guardianship should someone become mentally incapacitated through a stroke, coma, Alzheimer's, etc. Guardianship also requires probate court, attorneys, quarterly inventories and quarterly accountings, etc.
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I make a big difference in almost all of my cases. My practice is limited to preparation of Wills and Revocable Trusts. With the Revocable Trust, clients can avoid lengthy and expensive probate court procedures.
How did you build a successful practice?
I built a successful practice by charging $575 for a Trust, a fraction of what most attorneys charge. I also prepare Wills at no charge for seniors
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Clients should expect caring, knowledge, listening, and promptness.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
I offer a free phone consultation, and a free in office one hour consultation to explain the documents available to clients and the best strategy for each client.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
My low fees differentiate me from most lawyers.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
As a semi-retired attorney with fifty years experience, I am able to assist clients in avoiding expensive probate proceedings. Most rewarding is meeting new people and keeping busy.
What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?
My other interests include watching my four grandchildren grow, and spending time with my wife of fifty-one years.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
I am involved with my community as a member of the City Board of Ethics.
