What is the problem you are best at solving for your clients?
My clients entrust me with matters that are deeply personal and sometimes tragic. By approaching the challenges they are facing with a balance of sensitivity and pragmatism, I help them to resolve complex legal and financial problems and reach the best possible outcomes.
What excites you about your work and the contribution you make to the ELET team?
I love working closely with my clients, learning their stories, earning their trust, and finding creative solutions to their unique situations. It is exciting to see how my work changes real people’s lives for the better.
What do you love most about ELET?
I love that my firm is willing and eager to take on the cases and challenges that other firms aren’t equipped or interested in taking on. It is exciting to work with a team of people who are committed to giving their absolute best.
Where can we find you when you’re not working?
With my sweet little family.
I have two pugs named Mosely Bartholomew and Sophia, and they are real characters. I am amused when my clients want to incorporate planning for their pets in their plans because I get it. I’m a dog person too!
