With a background in law, I understand the importance of estate planning and the value of personal stories.
In my 25 years as a transactional attorney, I have conducted over 20,000 client meetings. During my career, I found that clients from all walks of life had stories to tell that were sometimes inspirational, other times heart wrenching, often times filled with wisdom, but always engaging and interesting. I discovered what I had always intuitively felt, which is to listen is to learn, to such an extent that my legal knowledge and ability to counsel my client was enhanced by their stories. The more I listened, the more inspired and insightful I became. My advice became better because it was informed in part by the client’s stories. Where they came from, where they wanted to go, and how they wanted to get there became central to my analysis of their case. This is what has inspired me to transition to Timeless Testaments, where my mission statement now revolves around insuring your life’s story is remembered, cherished and honored for future generations.

Compassionate Approach
I create a comfortable and supportive environment for you to share your stories. You may even want to choose that environment, and we have a plan to accommodate such requests. I am dedicated to making the process both meaningful and enriching. The interview is conducted in a very conversational way. Although there is a basic "script" that is followed to insure we cover the things that our loved ones want to know, the conversation often goes down different paths. However, you will always be in the driver seat, so to speak. Before the recording, we will conduct a 5-10 minute "practice' discussion so that you can get a feel for the process.
