How I represent clients at Schwabe
My practice is rooted in helping individuals and families plan thoughtfully for the future. I began my legal career in domestic relations law, where I worked closely with clients navigating emotionally complex matters. That experience shaped my approach to estate planning and fueled my transition into this practice area, allowing me to focus on helping families achieve peace of mind, clarity, and long-term security.
My background in both law and communication allows me to translate complex legal concepts into practical, accessible guidance, helping clients feel informed and confident as they plan for the future.
