Divorce with Dignity, Estate Planning with Empathy, Probate with Pragmatism.
Practice Details
While Beth's career is focused in law, her social work background has informed her connection with clients, child-focused family law work, and ability to finesse complex family dynamics.
Beth's probate practice includes representing clients through every step of estate administration, from establishing the initial appointment as Personal Representative (formerly called Executor) to final account and estate closure.
Beth’s estate planning practice has also included work with step-families and second families, same-sex families, unmarried families, and small or family-owned businesses to create sound plans of asset protection, business succession, and estate tax planning.
Beth's philosophy is that whenever possible, families are best served by resolving conflict outside of Court, such as by using dispute resolution methods like mediation and Collaborative Law.
