Jeff’s decision to focus on Estate Planning and Elder Law was initially based on experiencing firsthand how Elder Law and estate issues impacted his own family. This commitment has been constantly reinforced over the years by the satisfaction of working closely with individuals and families and helping them successfully address these issues for themselves and loved ones.
Jeff takes a very personal approach to the practice of law. He devotes a significant portion of every initial consultation to asking the kinds of questions that enable him to get to know you and your family. What are your greatest concerns? Your short and long-term goals? Your hopes and dreams for the future? Your values? Only when Jeff has a thorough understanding of these and other issues that matter to you most will he work with you to design a customized plan tailored to your specific situation. Experience has taught him that this kind of approach is the only way to create truly effective plans - ones that go well beyond simply minimizing taxes and avoiding probate.
