For 20+ years, I’ve empowered individuals, families, and businesses with the estate plans and brand protections they need. But I don’t just talk about the importance of estate “life” planning. I’ve lived it.

Don’t Bet The Farm

The first lesson I learned from estate planning was a tough one. 

As a newly licensed young lawyer, I watched the devastation my own family experienced when a relative lost the family farm after receiving the bequest in my grandfather’s will. 

The worst part? I was the attorney who drafted his will. Had I understood then the power of asset protection planning using trusts, things would have turned out much differently. 

After that experience, I wanted to commit my life to helping others avoid similar experiences.

Lesson learned

I almost left the practice of law, though.... 

Despite all the education from Trinity University (B.A. Pre-Medical Sciences, 1994) and New England Law (J.D., 1999) that I had completed for my career, I felt frustrated with myself. 

But instead of leaving the profession entirely, I enrolled in and completed Jon Kabat Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course at UMass Medical School. There I learned the components of a mindful and compassionate work environment. 

And it might sound cliche to say it changed my life - but it did. 

A renewed focus

Mindful “Life Planning”

From the mindful principles I learned, I founded our compassionate and intentional law firm, Mindful Counsel®.

Today my focus is on mindful “life planning.” Because that’s what we are truly trying to accomplish: planning for your life, protecting everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve during your life, and taking care of all the people you’ve loved and protected with your life.
