About Me
Estate planning is an act of intention—a way to take ownership of your future and provide lasting protection for those you love. It’s not just about legal documents; it’s about making clear, confident decisions that ensure your values and wishes endure.
I believe this process should be efficient, focused, and empowering—not endless or overwhelming. My role is to guide you through your options with clarity and purpose, so you can make informed decisions without getting lost in unnecessary complexity. I provide straightforward advice and strategic planning, ensuring that we spend time where it matters most—crafting a plan that truly works for you.
With years of experience helping families and professionals navigate life’s uncertainties, I offer more than legal kowledge—I provide a structured, results-driven approach that allows you to move forward with confidence. Estate planning is not something to dwell on indefinitely—it’s something to get done, get right, and trust in moving forward.
Let’s build a plan that gives you clarity, security, and the freedom to focus on living—knowing that your future, and the future of those you cherish, is protected.

Personal
Christine and her husband Brian, an orthopaedic surgeon at Holy Cross Orthopaedic Institute, have lived in Fort Lauderdale for 25 years. They have two grown children who they treasure deeply, and now dote on their English and French Bulldogs. Christine captained Ragnar 200 mile Relay Race Teams, creates hiking, whitewater rafting and travel adventures for her friends and family and prioritizes staying physically active and fit. As both an instructor and practitioner of self-defense jiu-jitsu, she embraces the discipline, emotional balance and resilience that this art brings to her life. Whether she is working with a client or on the mat, her approach is always the same: calm, focused, and dedicated to finding the best solutions.
