• Contracts

• Free Consultation
  I provide free phone consultations for up to 20 minutes to potential clients. Note: An attorney/client relationship does not begin until you have agreed to in writing.
• Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
  Clarity and mutual understanding are the cornerstones of a successful attorney/client relationship. That is why I spell out in writing (by way of an engagement agreement signed by both of us) the work I will do for you and the total cost. An earned, non-refundable retainer is required before beginning any work for you. I most often work on a flat fee basis as contained in the engagement letter - so there no surprise charges. Also, I accept payment through Venmo and Zelle.

Q. Regarding second mortgage?

September 16, 2023

A: I have no idea. It would depend on a variety of factors, including the outstanding principal balance of your current mortgage, the amount you are considering borrowing, the market value of the property now and what it may be when you may sell the property, what type of property is involved, the loan to value ratio, what the cash would be used for, what your current debts and known future debts may be, your overall financial status, etc., etc. Attorneys are not financial advisors - we just know what the laws are. I suggest you obtain financial advice from a professional financial advisor who understands you, your risk tolerance, and your overall finances thoroughly, and not take the financial advice of an attorney over the internet who is a stranger to you. ...

Q. Is my landlord allowed to enter our basement n walk around outside of house anytime he wants without notice

August 5, 2023

A: A landlord is not permitted to enter into any area which is leased to a tenant, unless the lease expressly contains an exception permitting it or under a dire emergency. Whether the landlord may enter into the basement or outside the house (I’m assuming you’re leasing a house), depends on whether these areas are included in the areas leased to you. Typically, a lease contains a definition of the “leased premises” or it will contain a description of what exactly is leased to you. If the basement and/or the area surrounding the house are included as part of the lease, then the landlord is not permitted to enter into these areas. unless the lease contains any exception.

Q. Escrow issues

July 20, 2023

A: There is no way to answer your question without knowing (a) whether the buyer signed the agreement of sale; (b) if the buyer signed the agreement of sale, what the agreement said about the buyer’s obligation to pay a good faith deposit (a.k.a. escrow amount); and (c) whether the agreement of sale made the buyer’s obligation to pay the good faith deposit contingent on the buyer’s satisfaction with the Sellers Disclosure Statement.
