I have represented clients in Pocatello and Southeast Idaho as a lawyer for more than 30 years. I represent clients in cases regarding adoption, divorce, elder law, estate planning and probate, family law, Indian law and several other legal matters. Please take a few minutes to review the information regarding the areas of practice, information on legal matters of interest to you and my background.
I hope you will consider a consultation, case assessment and representation regarding your legal matter.

Adoption as a legal matter takes many forms and can vary from a relatively simple and straightforward legal proceeding to complex litigation, such as when the termination of a birth parent's parental rights is contested by the birth parent.
I encourage potential clients considering adoption to schedule a consultation as soon as possible to gain an understanding of the legal considerations in the adoption.
An initial consultation for a case assessment for the above matters is provided at no cost.

Older clients may have different legal concerns that can require additional legal services.
Most people consider a basic estate plan to include planning for death, but sometimes do not consider the importance of planning for incapacity.
In an initial estate planning consultation, I focus on the client's specific needs and I believe that a basic estate plan need not be overly complex.
The plan should include a basic will, Idaho Statutory Form Power of Attorney, Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare and an Authority to Dispose of Remains (burial or cremation directive).
