Gary O'Brien is an experienced commercial real estate attorney focusing on assisting small and medium size businesses with their real estate needs. Gary O'Brien made the decision to enter private practice at the reputable, small New Jersey firm of Podvey Meanor, P.C. because he is motivated and inspired by helping small to medium size businesses succeed.

To most businesses, real estate is an overhead cost, much like paper and pens. The difference, of course, is that real estate is a much larger and more complex overhead.

Gary O'Brien puts his experience to work for small and medium size businesses so they can keep real estate overhead costs to a minimum, save money, and stay focused on their core business.
