For the past three decades I have represented individuals on the Florida West Coast (Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Casey Key, Venice, Osprey, Nokomis, Englewood, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, University Park, Naples, Ft. Myers, Palmetto, Ellenton, St. Petersburg and Tampa) in the areas of Estate Planning, Elder Law, Asset Protection, Probate & Trust Administration and Litigation and Guardianship Administration and Litigation proceedings. I also represent Florida Corporate entities, Shareholders, LLC Members and P artners in business transactions, succession planning, mergers & acquisitions and business disputes . My clients include opposite-sex and same-sex couples, large and small business owners, individuals looking to protect their assets from creditor claims, retirees, family members needing guidance in the administration of a Florida probate estate or an inheritance dispute, and relatives of individuals who need to have incapacity determined and a guardianship established. All clients know that they will receive the highest quality legal representation based on my experience and integrity. Other lawyers, both inside and outside the state of Florida, regularly refer clients to me in my focus areas. I am honored by their confidence. I pride myself on my ability to form long-lasting relationships with my clients (individuals and business owners).
