FROM OUR FOUNDER

I LOVE what I do.

Every day, I have the honor and privilege of counseling parents, couples, and individuals through a process that truly is an act of love for themselves and their families. Serving others in an impactful way is why I went to law school in the first place — and I’m so grateful that I get to carry out that vision in a practice that reflects my values.

Born in New York City, I first came to California to attend Stanford University, where I earned my BA in English. After graduation, I zig-zagged across the country between North Carolina, New York, New Mexico, and California, earning my JD from Duke University, and working at human rights non-profit organizations, an environmental media start-up company, and a large international law firm in its New York City and Los Angeles offices.

When I was pregnant with my son, Mateo, and starting to look into planning for my own family, I realized how crucial it is for everyone to have comprehensive planning in place AND how few people actually do. I made it my mission to help others do the right thing by their loved ones and plan in a meaningful, thoughtful way that preserves my clients’ values, wishes, and memories for generations to come.

I live in Long Beach with my partner, Miloš, and our two boys, Mateo (human) and Bodhi (canine).  Even after 18 years in Southern CA, I am still in awe of the diversity at our fingertips — ethnic food, art, ocean-view hikes, Joshua Tree, wine country, the Sierras — but I’ll still take a good bagel with lox and cream cheese any day. For more on my work and family adventures...

SEVEN GENERATIONS LAW

The name “Seven Generations Law” celebrates the principle, widely believed to have originated with the Iroquois, that for every action we take today, we must consider its impact on the next seven generations. Consciously planning for the future of loved ones and ensuring that our personal legacies endure for generations to come powerfully aligns with this belief. 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER

In honor of using the name Seven Generations Law,  we make a contribution with every completed plan to a non-profit working to protect our planet and promote human and indigenous rights.  As a client, you choose which one of the following three organizations resonates most with your personal interests…

The Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) is active in all aspects of the conservation of Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutans in Indonesia. Both are critically endangered species and, with <800 remaining, the Tapanuli orangutan is the most endangered Great Ape in the world. 

In addition to habitat protection, the SOCP confiscates illegal pet orangutans and reintroduces them to the wild, gradually creating entirely new, genetically viable and self-sustaining wild orangutan populations, ensuring survival of the species.

Today, at least 2.2 million people in the United States don’t have access to water at home. They make do without the sinks, bathtubs, showers, or toilets the rest us take for granted.

DigDeep is the first and only water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) nonprofit working to ensure that everyone living in the U.S. has clean, running water forever. Our core program, the Navajo Water Project, is a community-managed utility alternative that provides clean, hot and cold running water and solar power to families on the Navajo Nation who have previously lacked running water.
