What I do:

I help people with estate plans. I work on the administration of estates, guardianships, and trusts. I represent folks in controversies about estates, guardianships, and trusts.
I give legal advice, write legal documents, go to court, and serve as guardian, executor, and administrator. I have a Masters in Taxation from N.Y.U., and I give advice on taxes. But I let accountants do the tax returns.
I try to write my legal papers, when practical, in plain language.
I keep my overhead low and my fees reflect this.
