I represent clients in three core areas: real estate, estate planning and administration, and business.REAL ESTATE: I represent clients that run the spectrum of the real estate world. This includes all types of residential transactions, real estate investment (from first-time investors to sophisticated high volume companies), and commercial property purchase/sale and leasing. I have also closed over 1,500 mortgage transactions (both commercial and residential) for lenders!ESTATE PLANNING and ADMINISTRATION: *Everyone* needs an estate plan, even if you feel you have a very simple estate. My estate planning philosophy is to provide my clients with a comprehensive estate plan that gets the job done as efficiently as possible. I also help clients administer estates when their loved-ones have passed away. "Probate" is NOT as scary as many would have you believe and I have successfully guided many clients through this process.BUSINESS: I love helping clients launch their business dreams! Whenever you begin a new business venture, you should always consult an attorney with experience in the formation and maintenance of Limited Liability Companies (LLC), Corporations, Partnerships, and Sole Proprietorships. Choosing the right form of entity for your business can provide substantial liability protection for you and your personal assets! I provide advice to business through contract preparation and review, corporation governance matters, and anything that is needed to help your business manage legal risk.
