From 1981 through 1989 I dedicated my career as an Assistant District Attorney for Niagara County. In that position, I conducted many complex criminal prosecutions including Conspiracies and Murder Trials. In 1989 Claude A.

In 2001 I was appointed to serve Niagara County as the Niagara County Attorney and have served in such position for sixteen years and in 2014 the Town of Pendleton was added to this Municipal Law Practice.

In this representation Last Wills and Testament, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advanced Health Care Directives, Deeds with reserved Life Estates and Living Trusts are all tools that can successful! in wealth preservation.
