Joseph is an attorney in the Trusts & Estates practice group, who works with clients on both estate planning, and trust and estate administration.  On the planning side, Joseph creates individualized estate plans that account for their unique circumstances, while considering tax and probate issues.  Then, he works closely with family members to administer their trusts and estates as efficiently and practically as possible.

Prior to focusing on trusts and estates, Joseph practiced commercial and civil litigation. Now he uses his litigation background in his estate planning practice to help clients shelter their assets and protect their privacy.
