He also handles a high volume of estate planning matters from the routine to complex, striving for efficiency and simplicity wherever possible to achieve a client's goals. Mr. Thorp received his law degree from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2004 where he also received a Law & Business Certificate of Specialization in coordination with the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management.
