Alvi Aggarwal
Published
Yates Campbell & Hoeg LLP, Fairfax
Title: Of counsel
Education: Bachelor’s degree, Georgetown University; law degree, George Washington University; master of laws, University of Miami
Family: My spouse, Ian Bolden (also a lawyer, but a different kind), and my step-daughter
Career mentors: My colleagues Tom Campbell and Tom Yates, who have taught me so much about the law, people and life
Hobbies: Right now, I have some plants I’m trying to keep alive, and I’m jogging a little more often than I bake (and eat) sugary treats.
Your dream client: Nice people. The rest doesn’t matter.
What do you consider the biggest challenge in assisting clients with estate planning? Not having unlimited time to get to know my clients, understand their needs and goals, help them understand all their options and make sure they understand how their estate plan works.
Your bio says you decided to become of counsel in pursuit of work-life balance. What led you to make that decision? A few months into the pandemic, I realized my work had become my life. So, I did some soul searching, got a life outside of work and changed my work to fit my life. It’s all going wonderfully!
