Meet Christie
Hi, I’m Christie - a mom, sister, attorney, and passionate advocate for everyday families and individuals. I help people create practical, personalized estate plans that protect what matters most—whether that’s children, aging parents, special needs beneficiaries, or simply your own peace of mind.
​
As a mom and one of five siblings, I understand how personal and emotional these decisions can be. I also know that life can change in an instant.
​
I was just days away from welcoming my second son into the world when I got the call that my father was in the hospital with Covid. The next morning, at 9:05, while I was still holding my newborn, my father was gone. The stark contrast of life and loss forever changed how I practice law.
I reimagined estate planning around the values I live by every day — honesty, compassion, dependability, and follow-through. My goal is to create protective, customized plans that bring peace of mind to real families, not just the wealthy. I work personally with every client, like a sister or daughter in your corner, guiding you with both knowledge and care.
Let's talk about "Estate Planning"
spoiler alert: we don't like this term.
Let’s be honest — “estate planning” doesn’t sound like it’s meant for real life. It sounds like something your wealthy uncle does while hopping private islands on his yacht.
​
But real planning is for everyday families. It’s about protecting your people, keeping decisions in the right hands, and making sure life doesn’t unravel if the unexpected happens.
​
It’s not just about having a will. It’s about having a voice. It’s about making sure you get to decide what happens, not the state, not a court.
My goal is to walk you through a clear, thoughtful approach that replaces stress and confusion with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind. I focus on education and empowerment, so you understand your options and feel confident every step of the way.
This isn’t a one-time transaction, it’s the start of a trusted relationship built on compassion, clarity, and care for the things and people that matter most to you.
