Practice Areas
Proven Results
Real Estate Transactions
Preparation or review of commercial and residential purchase agreements and related disclosures, title reports, and loan documents. Preparation and negotiation of co-ownership agreements, seller financing documents, easements, road maintenance agreements, and commercial and residential leases. Specialized expertise in planning, zoning and development laws.
Probate & Estate Planning
A good estate plan aims to preserve wealth for the intended beneficiaries while retaining flexibility during the planner's lifetime. Probate is the unfortunate consequence of failed estate planning. I prepare trusts, wills, durable powers of attorney and advanced health care directives. I also advise on the administration of both trusts and probate.
Small Business Legal Needs
Small businesses need wide-ranging advice: choosing the best legal entity at formation, lease and commercial contract negotiations, employment, industry-specific regulatory compliance, financing and occasionally, bankruptcy. Think of me as your family law doctor: basic issues resolved efficiently with referrals to reliable specialists when necessary.
