As a founding member of W Law Group, I have now elected to take on the role Of Counsel to the firm. This will allow me to devote more time to my work with ATC 911, a non- profit organization that helps families of first responders who are killed or unable to work due to injury or illness.
In addition to ATC 911, my practice is now focused primarily on estate planning including firearm trusts. I draw on my years of experience in law enforcement and the firearms industry to help clients, executors, trustees, and other attorneys deal with firearms and related matters. In addition to advising clients, I inventory, appraise, and liquidate or distribute firearms in accordance with ATF regulations to help clients avoid “accidental felonies”.
My father taught me the practice of law is about relationships built on trust. He gave me three simple rules to follow: Always put my clients’ interests first; never compromise my integrity; and treat everyone with respect. Sound advice that has served me well. I enjoy the fact clients have become friends and friends have become clients.
As for my history, after graduating from Drake University Law School, I did post- graduate work at Northwestern University and the University of Kansas. My experience as a law enforcement officer taught me how suddenly people’s lives can be changed forever and how life does not favor the unprepared. Along with aviation and martial arts, it also taught me the importance of details, training, and discipline.
I truly enjoy helping all my clients, especially first responders and their families. My goal is to get ahead of the need with a sound estate plan that can help reduce stress for the entire family. It is all about planning today to protect the future.
