Claim Your Profile?
I spend about one third of my time on litigation and appeals, resolving disputes after they have already arisen. The rest of my time is devoted to Medicaid and estate planning (helping clients minimize future problems for themselves and their loved ones), and probate cases (helping ensure their wishes are implemented after their deaths). I am privileged to work in a firm where I can split my time between such widely different practice areas. The variety keeps things interesting, and gives me a fresh perspective on how the law works. I work out of both the North Adams, Massachusetts and Bennington, Vermont offices.
