Real Estate
Our office can assist both individuals and businesses in real estate transactions and litigation.  We have represented and counseled all parties involved in a real estate transaction, such as property owners, developers, contractors, brokers, realtors, and escrow companies.  We have vast experience in the negotiation and drafting of lease agreements, construction agreements, subcontractor agreements, and, of course, purchase and sales agreements. If disputes should arise, resolution through negotiation and mediation is undertaken, and if necessary, arbitration and litigation.   

In areas of building disputes, we represent owners, developers, contractors and subcontractors.  If necessary, we will litigate issues of mechanic’s lien and property foreclosures.



Commercial Leasing
We represent tenant clients ranging from newly formed “mom and pop” businesses to large national chains, as well as landlord clients such as developers, property owners, and management companies. Our philosophy is that no lease is static, and each must be negotiated for the benefit of our client.

We vigorously represent our clients in commercial landlord-tenant disputes, including eviction. If a dispute arises, we utilize all avenues of resolution, including negotiation, mediation and arbitration.

Partnerships & Corporations
As your business grows, your needs and objectives may change, which may require a change in the “form” of your business.  We utilize our business and legal expertise in counseling and structuring small businesses, whether closely held or family based businesses.  We spend the time to understand your objectives so that we can effectively plan for our client’s future business and legal concerns. Although we actively litigate partnership and corporate issues, our goal is to assist our client in avoiding litigation, and therefore we counsel our clients in areas of acquisitions and formation, termination and disposition of interest, resolutions of disputes involving control and management, buy/sell agreements, and other issues pertaining to corporations, partnerships and joint ventures.

We also assist and counsel our clients in the day-to-day documentation of running an effective business. This involves review and analysis of everything from “form” purchase orders and invoices to contracts, letters of credit, and proposals. The goal is to minimize our client’s risks and avoid potential litigation.  We have experience in assisting businesses of all types, including retail, industrial, manufacturing, contractors and subcontractors, developers, escrow companies, accountants, physicians, etc., and in assisting them with documentation.  




Contracts & Litigation

Employment & Business
We think one of the best ways that we can help you is before a “problem” arises. We’ve found that employment litigation often results when there is a breakdown of communication between employer-employee or the misapplication of employment law.  We will act as both counselors and litigators to protect your business concerns.

One of the best ways to avoid conflict, and benefit your company, is the creation of an employee handbook and development of personnel policies and procedures.  We counsel our employer clients on all issues of employment law, including employee discipline and discharge, work place privacy, disability law, and wage-hour compliance. We also offer in-house meetings regarding such issues as discrimination and sexual harassment.  This is truly one area of law in which “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
