Attorney
Longmont, Colorado, 80501
In helping my clients, and as a former educator, I’ve learned the importance of being an effective communicator, an active listener, and a compassionate advisor. My private law practice focuses on helping clients to protect themselves with lifetime disability planning and asset transfer planning.
My wife, Donna, and I have been married since 1970, and we have a son, a daughter and 7 wonderful grandchildren. We have lived in Longmont, Colorado since 1972. When I’m not helping folks with their Will or Trust planning, I spend my free time with my family, golfing, traveling, reading, watching movies, and participating in church activities.
Unexpected bad things can happen at any time even to the best of people. My mission is to encourage and help people and their families to be prepared in the event that a tragedy were to strike. Car accidents, a fall, dementia and other illnesses, or death can happen out of nowhere. Without proper planning, you can leave your family with a financial mess.
I’ve unfortunately seen first-hand what happens when folks are not prepared with proper lifetime mental disability planning or death planning. My wife and I have helped take care of an elderly lady for more than 10 years after she suffered a stroke watching the September 11 coverage of the horrific events from that day. She suffers from short-term memory loss. Another client suffered a debilitating stroke at just 54, but because he had no planning, an expensive and emotional conservatorship court action was required to handle his financial affairs.
