William H. Carmines
As a result of my family history as well as my interest in taxation and politics, I have chosen to focus my practice on estate planning, estate, trust and conservatorship administration, elder law, and asset protection.
I have advanced my interests in estate planning and elder law with my education. I earned my L.L.M (Masters of Laws) degree in estate planning and elder law in 2010. I attained my Juris Doctor degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio, where I was an associate editor of the International Law Review. Legal Research I completed in that program has been published and used as a teaching aid by professors in law schools. I have been a contributing author for a book on estate planning.
My goal is to assist my clients, and their families, to preserve their wealth and to have the ability to pass it on to the next generation. I have a background in family counseling, which comes in handy when attempting to navigate the pitfalls of planning an estate and then helping the family go, step by step, through the administration of the estate upon the passing of a family member. I always stress on the importance of figuring out a solution to any legal problem and achieving it in the most simple, straight forward way possible that my clients will understand.
