Woburn Estate Planning Law Firm

As a young man, Mr. Karr saw first-hand the consequences of failing to have an estate plan in place when his grandmother died without a proper estate plan. Then early in his career, he worked at a law practice that placed company profit above compassionate service. Those experiences inspired Mr. Karr to create a new kind of law center; one focused on providing compassionate guidance and expert knowledge. As a husband and the father of a young daughter, Mr. Karr is dedicated to assisting individuals and families who, like him, want to provide for and protect those they love.
