Before joining Sunstone Planning LLC, Andrew worked extensively in family law, where he gained firsthand experience helping clients navigate complex family relationships, major life transitions, and difficult conversations. Those experiences continue to inform his estate planning practice. He understands that effective planning involves more than legal documents.

He believes the best estate plans not only protect assets, but also provide clarity and peace of mind for loved ones during difficult times.
