Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

My goal is to provide legal advice for life. For individuals, life presents many situations that require legal guidance. Whether you are buying or selling home, preparing an estate plan, dealing with a minor criminal matter, have been fired from a job, or have been injured in a car accident, you should have a lawyer you can turn to for advice. I want to be that lawyer.

Businesses have lives too. They start at incorporation and it gets more complicated every day after that. Dealing with customers who don't pay a bill, a piece of equipment that doesn't work as advertised, a mistake on a construction job, an employee you need to let go, or the decision to sell or close up shop are just a few examples of situations that require legal advice and guidance. I want to be your legal department. If I can't help you, I will work with someone who can.
My primary practice areas include:

Commercial litigation, including: collections, foreclosures (as well as foreclosure defense), breach of contract claims, creditor representation in bankruptcy.

Construction litigation, including: mechanic's liens (and discharge of liens), contract litigation and arbitration, defect and delay claims, and contract review.

Real estate litigation, eviction (both landlord and tenant), quiet title actions, adverse possession claims, boundary and water disputes, purchase and sale disputes, failure to disclose or misrepresentation of building conditions.

Personal litigation, including employment claims, personal injury, divorce and criminal defense, foreclosure defense and debt settlement.

Estate planning, including wills and trusts, pre-nuptial agreements and probate litigation, including will contests.

Land use applications such as variances and special permits, prosecution and defense of zoning appeals.

Basic corporate work, including setting up simple corporations and limited liability companies.
