“My goal is to help you solve your problems.”

• For more than 25 years, I have practiced law in the areas of business formation, advisement and litigation in the areas of real estate, construction, wills and trusts, probate, landlord/tenant, and "self-help" law. I understand the Client's perspective as a consumer of legal services and particularly enjoy working with Clients, both Individual and Small Business, who want to help themselves.

·       I have extensive experience in business law - planning, transactions, and litigation.

·       My expertise as a litigator includes an insider’s knowledge of insurance companies.

·       I have handled successful appeals of cases that have resulted in published opinions.

·       AND I present an alternative to the client who sees legal work too expensive for a lawyer to handle.

·       A little expertise can make a big difference. If you are willing to devote the effort and are able to follow directions, you can do some legal work yourself and save substantial legal expenses.

·       With my help you can draft legally enforceable contracts and leases, and execute simple wills and trusts.

·       I can help you form small businesses entities, such as corporations, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and tax exempt organizations.

·       In breach of contract and personal injury cases too small or too expensive to hire a lawyer, with my coaching, you can represent yourself in the courtroom.

·       I can help you handle homeowner association disputes.

·       Having served as counsel for major liability insurers involving construction defects, surety and fidelity liability, intellectual property rights, and property damage, I can explain your insurance policies and how the courts have interpreted them and can advise you on the best course of action
