Clients Say

Helping individuals and families protect their legacies and navigate the complexities of estate and trust law is at the center of my practice. I provide thoughtful guidance that blends technical skill with a client-focused approach, ensuring plans and solutions are tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. By developing trusted relationships, I help clients preserve wealth, simplify administration, and resolve disputes with clarity and confidence.

My practice spans sophisticated estate planning, including strategies to minimize estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes; probate and trust administration; fiduciary counsel; and estate and trust litigation. I represent fiduciaries, heirs, and beneficiaries in both state and appellate courts, advocating for practical resolutions to complex disputes. I also advise high-net-worth families on succession planning, charitable giving, and tax compliance, providing strategies that bring long-term security and peace of mind.

Prior to joining Henson Efron, I practiced at an Illinois firm where I advanced from associate to senior associate, leading a team of attorneys and support staff in trust and estate matters. I also gained courtroom experience in family law and litigation, building strong skills in case strategy, discovery, and client advocacy. These experiences shaped my ability to combine technical precision with compassionate counsel, ensuring clients feel informed and supported at every step.

I am committed to guiding clients through life’s transitions with care, clarity, and confidence in their future.
