Hi I'm Joel. I offer estate planning wisdom after 32+ years helping Massachusetts residents avoid dying without wills or Living Trusts.

The Plain English Crusader
For thirty years, I fought to banish legalese from estate documents, despite consuming enough coffee to fuel a small law firm. I championed client-comprehensible documents—revolutionary in legal circles. My "Plain(er) English" approach helped navigate estate planning while traditionalists balked at abandoning archaic terminology. Following Bryan Garner's lead, I simplified complex concepts by eliminating unnecessary jargon.

Why You Should Trust Me
For over 30 years, I specialized exclusively in Massachusetts estate planning from my Lexington office. I built my reputation by focusing solely on wills, trusts, and estate administration – not dabbling in multiple legal areas.

For over 30 years, I specialized exclusively in Massachusetts estate planning from my Lexington office. I built my reputation by focusing solely on wills, trusts, and estate administration – not dabbling in multiple legal areas.
Why People Trusted Me:
- Deep Expertise: I practiced only estate law while other attorneys scattered their focus (though I chased the office coffee pot with equal dedication).
- Plain English Champion: I wrote documents people could actually understand, not eye-glazing legalese.
- Client-Focused Process: I explained complexities clearly without making clients feel they needed a law degree.
- Proven Track Record: Clients returned repeatedly despite my dated waiting room magazines (kept for "historical purposes").
