Resume

media-pa-probate-lawyers-resume

My goal is to ensure that my clients are aware of all aspects of their desires and Estate Planning, comfortable with the process, and confident with me. My resume, which contains many assessments (reviews) and awards, many of them being confidential to the extent that even I am not privy to their identity, mean everything to me. Thank You.
