Practice

I have practiced law since 2007, first working at a medium‑sized firm in San Francisco handling civil litigation, and then moving into estate planning, small business and contract law since 2010. As the beneficiary of a trust at a young age, and then representing my brother’s probate estate in 2006, my personal experiences with estate planning have had a huge impact on my perspective and empathy in delivering thoughtful estate planning services to my clients.

• Developing strategies to minimize potential estate and gift taxes
