Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Our clients choose their fee for estate planning services based on our flat fee estate planning packages.
How did you get started in this business?
I left the corporate world at Ernst & Young in order to help regular families like mine to grow their wealth and protect their legacy. It is much more rewarding than making big companies bigger.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Our clients range from single moms to local business owners. They all have 1 thing in common: they care about their families and want to make sure they are doing all they can to protect them and to protect what they have worked hard to build.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently helped one of my long-time clients to profitably sell the home we saved many years ago through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and then purchase their forever home. As we stood in their kitchen, we all teared up thinking of all we had gone through together and how far their family had come financially. Setting up their estate plan will be our next project so that their life lessons can be passed on to the next generation. Getting to make such a meaningful impact on the lives of our clients makes what I do as an attorney so rewarding. I'm blessed to have a career where that can literally happen every time I step into the office.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
My advice to anyone looking for an estate planning attorney is to take the time to do a little research, not necessarily on the area of law -- that's why you hire an expert. Research the expert. Make sure you are comfortable with the attorney and their team so that you get more than a form document that may not work when your family needs it most. Also make sure they have lots of good reviews from other people who have already worked with them. Finally, don't put off this very important planning -- the peace of mind that you get from knowing your affairs are in order is priceless.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Before you head to your attorney's office, think about what your goals are for making an estate plan? What are you trying to accomplish? Being clear about this ahead of time will help you and your attorney to tailor-make a plan to address your biggest concerns. Then, think about who you trust among your family and friends to do things like taking care of your children, handling your medical decisions, and handling your finances, if something happened to you. Then, think of a back-up to that person.
