I was born and raised in central Illinois, but have made St. Louis my home since the 1990s. I graduated from the Washington University School of Law, St. Louis. I practice in Missouri and Illinois. For several years, I worked in business litigation. Beyond that, I was also a teacher for 10 years. We enjoy going to local trivia events, and we love spending time with our children. I received my estate planning training from a nationally recognized, prestigious law firm. I learned that estate planning was a specialty that I enjoyed. I have helped my clients create wills, trusts, and comprehensive estate plans. Your Last Will & Testament is a document that lets the court know your specific wishes about who you want to care for your children and who you want in charge (your executor), as well as how your assets will be divided. Also, I would like to mention that all documents you file with the probate courts will be public information.
