Personal Introduction

I am an estate and tax planning attorney with over 20 years of experience in the field. I am licensed in three states. I employ the best techniques to protect my clients. Prior to estate planning, I worked at the largest Corporation on earth, was a radio host, a Legislative Assistant for the Majority Leader of the US House of Representatives, and a litigator. I am the ONLY ATTORNEY in the USA to have lived in the Cook Islands and worked in the Cook Islands Fiduciary Industry. Why is that important? Because the Cook Islands has some of the strongest asset protection laws in the world. The Country's innovative, best-in-class laws provide for strict privacy and confidentiality, and protections for trust assets, making it difficult for creditors to locate and seize them. Accordingly, I specialize in helping individuals and businesses protect assets from potential legal claims and financial risks. Asset protection planning is not necessary for every client. Even for those where asset protection provides a benefit, Cook Islands and other offshore entities are not the only tools used by our firm, but for certain classes of assets they can be the best, and there is not one attorney in the USA that has my experience.
