    Clients Can Count On Meticulous Legal Work & Clear Communication.

    Fran provides unparalleled service to her real estate, business and estate planning clients.

She is a noted speaker, with a wealth of experience presenting seminars on real estate, business law and estate planning. There are many aspects of her professional career that she enjoys, but connecting with clients and the community rank high and allow her to build lasting relationships. Fran is active in her church and volunteers with local nonprofits providing critical services in the community. She and her husband have four adult children and enjoy getting outside with their dogs to hike, bike and enjoy the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
