“In addition to practicing law, my professional life has included work for non-profits such as the International Institute of Boston and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. As an attorney, my focus is on a different type of service – estate planning and elder law – which allows me to serve my community here in Western Massachusetts. I sympathize deeply with my clients, many of whom may be in the midst of family crises, and I feel fortunate that I can use my professional knowledge to help them make informed choices to protect themselves and their loved ones.”
