Life is challenging enough, don't add to its unpredictability by not having your estate in order.
Estate and Business Planning Attorney in Arizona and Montana (offices in Eureka and Whitefish to open March/April 2026).
For over 33 years, I’ve been helping clients plan for the “what ifs” in life and demystifying legal jargon and complexities to ensure that my clients feel empowered and informed.
When working with my clients, I go beyond just the basic planning idea of “who gets what after
I pass.” My work encompasses a deep understanding of my clients’ values, priorities and the legacy they wish to leave behind.
ESTATE PLANNING is a compassionate process that gives you and your loved ones peace of mind for the "what ifs" of life and the one life event none of us can avoid -- our passing.
BUSINESS PLANNING for entrepreneurs and incorporating that business plan into an overall estate plan alleviates the uncertainty that can accompany the set up and ongoing operation of a business and what will happen in the event of incapacity or death.

Joel is so easy and comfortable to work with. He spends time to explain and answer all concerns in a manner my wife and I can understand. His common sense, knowledge of law, and organization skills made the process easier than we had expected. We highly recommend Joel for estate planning.
Very thorough, timely and personable too. He made the estate planning process as easy as possible for me under a tight deadline and shortly after my own mother passed away. I appreciated his knowledge, scheduling flexibility, and communication with me and my other financial specialists. The end result was a very well organized trust and estate planning binder.
What a wonderful and helpful attorney.
