Practice areas
A focused practice, built around your family.
Every plan begins with a conversation. We listen first, then design a path that protects what you've built and the people you love.
Estate Planning
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives drafted to fit your family — not a template. Peace of mind, on paper.
Probate & Estate Settlement
Guiding executors and heirs through Kentucky probate with patience, clarity, and a steady hand at every step.
Medicaid Asset Protection
Long-term-care and crisis planning to help preserve what you've built while qualifying for the care you need.
Guardianships
Compassionate representation in guardianship proceedings, including service as court-appointed Guardian ad Litem.
