From my background as a life long/working Carpenter and former Realtor from upstate New York, I knew upon graduation that my practice would be directed towards helping people with their Real Estate needs. My dad always said, “you do what you know”. I knew about housing. I also knew that if people were going to trust me with handling their largest asset, chances were, they would also have confidence in allowing me to help them plan the distribution of their estate for the benefit of their heirs at law. These days, my practice has evolved to something much different than what it used to be. Because of the technology I employ, it is also much different than the typical law office operation. I have changed my focus and have limited my practice to just serving Estate Planning clients. I have found that I can provide a much more personalized service within this discipline. Let me explain. When I am contacted by a prospective client, we will set an appointment to meet in one of two places; either on a Zoom call, or at their home, at their kitchen or dining room table. Not in some cold, uncomfortable lawyer’s conference room somewhere. Yes, that’s right, I either make house calls, or we meet using the benefits of today’s technology via Zoom! When discussing the distribution of one’s assets from the fruits of their life’s bounty, I have found it to be a much more relaxed, comfortable, and productive meeting when the client is sitting within the comfortable confines of their own home. And actually, the only time that we really need to be together, in person, is when we have the final signing ceremony to execute all the documents that have been created for their specific Estate Plan. Lastly, because of how I now operate my practice, today’s technology allows me to be a true working “snow-bird” attorney. I am able to service my Florida clients, regardless of where I happen to be sitting. In the fall and winter months, there is no better place to be than in the Sunshine state of Florida. And because I enjoy the splendor of the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York in the summer time, don’t be surprised if I am at my desk in Saratoga Springs, when you need to create your Florida estate plan, even if you are in Cleveland. As they say down under, “No Worries, Mate”. I’ve got you covered!
