How We Help

Estate Planning
Estate planning is about more than documents. It’s about understanding what will happen to everything and everyone you care about if something happens to you. We’ll create a clear, customized plan that protects your family, avoids unnecessary court involvement, and reflects your priorities.

Special Needs Planning
If someone in your family has special needs, their future care and financial stability require careful planning. We’ll help you set up the right legal structures to preserve eligibility for government benefits and provide long-term protection without jeopardizing their support.
"We had such a great experience working with Joe on our will. Planning for the worst can be incredibly daunting, so much so that my husband and I put it off for years. However, Joe was able to explain the importance of having a will and walk us through step by step with levity and clarity, making the process incredibly easy and giving us peace of mind once it was done."
