My legal practice specializes in
commercial, real estate and land use matters. My legal specialty
has been, and it continues
to be, commercial litigation and land use litigation. The focus
of my legal practice is directed almost exclusively to commercial & real
estate matters. In addition to doing litigation, I represent clients
in commercial and real estate transactions, including sale of business
transactions, business contracts of all kinds, employment & executive
compensation matters, and commercial real estate closings.
I undertake to provide a full range of legal services
to my business-owning clientele, including on their personal legal
matters.
In the event that I do not perform certain types of legal services,
I have a small network of talented lawyers with other specialties
to whom I can refer my clients [without any hidden charges or referral
fees]. In this way, I can provide or supervise all of the
legal services that any of my clients may need.
My firm's motto is: “No broken hearts;
no broken bones, and no broken
laws”, which means that I do not do
matrimonial, personal injury or criminal
defense litigation.
I do
not perform trust and estates or tax-related work, which I refer
to other lawyers.
I do litigation in the Bankruptcy
Court; it is part of my practice to represent individuals and businesses
in bankruptcy proceedings that must be commenced when there is either
an unavoidable need, or a valid strategic reason to seek bankruptcy
protection.
My office represents
its clients vigorously, enthusiastically and ethically. When an
individual or company becomes my client, it
is my goal to represent them effectively in all matters, at
a reasonable cost, and to develop a long-term lawyer client relationship.
The costs of any legal representation can be substantial,
especially in a litigation matter. Therefore, I make an effort to
describe
the likely costs and complications of a new case.
I am particularly
willing to work with start-up companies, to supervise their initial
contracts and shareholder/ partnership
agreements
and to help them get started right.
I have a reputation
for being creative and effective, and I seek that in my clients
also.
