But if you're keen to...

If you're looking for a highly polished, power suit-wearing, office-dwelling, instruction-taking, disinterested, litigious, dispute-focused, corporate, cookie-cutter estate lawyer. I'm probably not going to be the lawyer for you.

 Create an estate plan or administer a deceased estate without fear of judgment, with compassion, in a place you feel safe to ask as many questions you need or divulge all your secrets. You're exactly where you need to be.

Here's How It Works...

WE MEET

I'll meet you in a place you feel comfortable; no small talk with a receptionist, battling with traffic, or obligation to get out of your trackies. You provide the tea and I'll bring the banter.

WE CHAT

My prices are fixed so you never have to feel like there won't be enough time to talk about all the important things or ask as many questions as you need.

WE MAKE A PLAN

Skeletons in the cupboard, secret floozies, lost children, blended families, fear, shame... all these things are a fact of life that we build into our plan for how to move ahead.
