I am fortunate to both live in the Berkshires and also to work in areas of law that give me such personal satisfaction.
Estate planning, including the writing of wills and trusts, and other asset protection planning, often can result in very significant financial benefits for our clients and their families. At this firm, we work diligently in assisting those faced with serious legal and financial issues that may result from the death of a family member or friend, and in helping clients develop a plan for their own future security. I very much enjoy the process of creating legal documents. Using the right words in a concise way is critically important in meeting clients’ objectives. I believe that our service in this area can give clients peace of mind in knowing that all appropriate steps have been taken to achieve their goals.
