Estate Planning Attorney · Admitted 2010
"My goal is simple: make estate planning feel manageable and meaningful. You've worked hard for your family — let's make sure it's protected."
Estate planning covers more than just a will. Here's what I help West Michigan families with — each service has its own page with full details and pricing.
Clear, legally sound documents that reflect your wishes and protect your beneficiaries — without going through unnecessary complexity.
Revocable living trusts that help your family avoid probate, preserve privacy, and transfer assets smoothly when it matters most.
Financial and healthcare powers of attorney so trusted people can act on your behalf — protecting you if you're ever unable to act yourself.
Guided support through Michigan's probate court process to settle a loved one's estate efficiently and with as little stress as possible.
You don't need to know whether you need a will, a trust, a power of attorney, or something else before reaching out. Tell us about your situation and we'll help you figure out what actually makes sense — no pressure, no obligation.
No hourly billing surprises. You'll know exactly what you're paying before we start. See our full breakdown of estate planning costs in Michigan, or visit each service page for package details.
A solid foundation for individuals or couples with straightforward needs.
