PRACTICE
AREAS
REAL ESTATE
​
The process of buying, selling or developing real property is one of the most complex areas of the law. If you are a buyer, seller or land developer embroiled in a real estate dispute or would like to take precautions to avoid conflict, we can work with you to ensure your property rights are adequately protected against adverse parties and claims.
BUSINESS LAW
​
Our firm advises and represents business owners, entrepreneurs and managers on a wide range of legal and business matters. We work with start-ups in selecting and forming business organizations and provide advice on trademark protection and licensing. We help you navigate the road ahead, and spot issues coming around the bend so you can focus on your clients and customers. We also assist clients who are looking to buy or sell a business.
​
ESTATE PLANNING​
​
Establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. Proper estate planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, it can also spare your loved ones of the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
​
Recognizing that litigation should be the last resort, we advise clients what they can realistically expect from lawsuits, and whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks and costs involved in litigation. We are especially skilled at achieving favorable outcomes for our clients who would be better served if their case were resolved outside the courtroom.
