Overview

Kenneth’s practice spans all areas of estate and trust law.  Kenneth prides himself on his ability to navigate with sensitivity and pragmatism the complex family dynamics inherent in his practice.

For more than a decade Kenneth has advised individuals, families and business owners on tax, charitable and estate planning. Utilizing a variety of sophisticated planning techniques, Kenneth works with clients to identify and achieve their goals through the development and implementation of well-tailored, tax efficient estate planning strategies. Kenneth spends considerable time advising clients on business succession planning and regularly works with family business owners to facilitate effective transitions to future generations of owners and operators. 

In addition to his planning practice, Kenneth represents both fiduciaries and beneficiaries in all aspects of estate and trust administration, including contested matters. Kenneth also prepares estate, gift and fiduciary income tax returns, and has represented clients before both state and federal taxing authorities.
