Last week, I got a call from a professional organizer, Sasha Lauren. I’m sure you’ve all heard about people who can come into your home or office and show you how to get things clean and organized and how to keep it that way. Sasha is a little different in that she...
Helping You Protect Your Loved Ones And Your Legacy
Year: 2008
Hey! Why DIDN’T We Get A Manual?!!!
One of the things I really enjoy about being a Personal Family Lawyer is the networking I get to do and meeting new people whose missions are similar to mine (helping families). If you remember my “corner” from a couple of weeks ago, I told you about my having a booth...
Viva Las Vegas
We just returned from a trip to Vegas. Taylor, Hailey and I drove over for a Jonas Brothers concert. Thousands of screaming 12 to 15 year old girls made a memory for my daughters, but for me? Well, I’m being fitted for my hearing aid next week. (smile) Las Vegas is...
Grandma Rose

My Favorite Halloween
Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Halloween this evening! Someone asked me this week what the most fun Halloween I’ve had, and of course, what came to mind was the Halloween of 1999. We always go “all out” on Halloween and have a lot of props...

If You Need Help, Don’t Be Afraid To Ask
With Rosh Hashana, dance classes and tryouts for “The Nutcracker” (not me; my daughter, Taylor!), and my daughter Hailey’s IEP, it was such a busy week! I didn’t want to let the opportunity go by, though, without getting some timely information to you about what is on...
“Plan… Plan… Plan… I Can’t Say It Enough”
You’ve heard me time and time again stress the importance of planning. It doesn’t matter the size of your estate, whether you’re single or married, you have to plan. You have to plan for estate taxes, who your guardians and healthcare agents are going to be and you...
