Practice Areas

Areas of Practice

 

Contracts and business disputes

If you need to enforce an agreement, or if you think that someone is unfairly trying to enforce something that you didn’t agree to, please contact me to see if I can help.  I’ve helped individuals and businesses enforce and protect their contract rights in hundreds of cases over the years, including: contractor disputes, business disputes, landlord-tenant (lease) cases, and many other contract matters.

If you’re wondering about the language in a contract, lease or other agreement that you’re about to sign, or if you want to prepare language for business forms or other documents, please call for a consultation.  Often this sort of work can be done with minimal upfront cost, but it can save a great deal of money in the long run.


HOA disputes

I have represented both homeowners and homeowner associations with respect to many different HOA matters. 


Other matters

Over the years, I’ve also helped clients in many different areas, such as: appeals, tax issues, debt collection, civil service appeals, government benefits and other areas. Please contact me to see if I can help you.



Personal injury/negligence/torts

Sometimes you get hurt.  Sometimes you accidentally hurt someone else. I’ve represented plaintiffs and defendants in all types of negligence cases from minor fender benders to wrongful death cases.  I’ve found that representing different types of parties in different areas of civil practice has given me a valuable ability to help my clients by understanding their cases from both sides.


property disputes

I have successfully worked with my clients in cases involving boundary disputes, easements, adverse possession and other disputes concerning the use of land.


Eminent domain/condemnation

The government can take your land for public use, but it doesn’t always offer a fair price.  I’ve helped clients win verdicts and negotiate settlements well in excess of the government’s initial offer.  If you are considering whether to take the government’s offer, please contact me to discuss your options.



Estate Disputes

If you need to defend your loved one’s estate against an unfair claim, or if you feel that you’re not getting what you’re entitled to through the probate process, please contact me to see if I can help.  


Wills, powers of attorney, business organization documents

I work with my clients to prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney and business organization documents (such as operating agreements and the like) at a fair price.


employment disputes

I’ve helped both employees and employers navigate the often confusing world of employment law from wage payment cases to wrongful termination, unemployment cases and cases involving workplace injuries and discrimination.
