I have practiced as a civil trial attorney in San Francisco since 1980. My practice has always emphasized real estate, both litigation and transactional matters. I provide personal, accessible, professional service in which my clients' best interests are the only concern.My admission to the bar coincided with the enactment of the San Francisco Rent Ordinance and I have been involved with the development of practice under the Ordinance from its earliest days. I have personally been involved with cases that defined the application of the Ordinance to property owners throughout its existence.I have been involved with TIC practice and development since the early '80s, both personally and advising others.Specialties: Practice under the San Francisco Rent Ordinance on behalf of property ownersAdvising real property managersAdvising TIC members or groupsCommercial landlord tenant relationsAdvising Real Estate licenseesReal Estate developmentInsurance coverage and liability practiceBusiness practice, including entity formationPersonal Injury cases, both plaintiff and defense
