Our Clients

Families and individuals seeking guidance through the burdensome and complex probate system. I work directly with individuals and families to understand their goals and wishes and develop strategic solutions to meet their needs. No two estate plans, administrations, or probate proceedings are the same. People need our services because they love someone. We honor that love and treat each client as the important individual that they are, and not just a number on the bottom line.

Our Philosophy

AHAVA Law will focus on Mischpah (Family), Ahava (Love) and Mitzvot (Good Deeds). It is important to engage in Tzedakah (Justice). The company will focus on making the world a better place by supporting those who support our country and community.
