Attorney
After starting a career in public
accounting, I decided to set my sights on law. I wanted to be
able to provide my clients the very best of both worlds and found that
there was a limit on the services I could provide as an
accountant. The combined Certified Public Accountant designation
and legal education allows me to provide broader services to my
clients.
In law school, I concentrated in
Business Transactions and I am pursuing an LL.M. in Taxation from
Thomas M. Cooley Law School, with an expected graduation date in late
2011. I participated in the Thomas M. Cooley Law School
Sixty-Plus Elder Law Estate Planning Clinic as a Legal Intern.
