Law Firm Overview

I concentrate my practice in the area of real estate and business law with sub-specialty area of my practice in the field of entertainment/gaming law as well as sports and entertainment. Our office handles business and real estate contracts from the initial stages of negotiation and drafting through the actual closing of the business or real estate transaction. I represent a number of institutional real estate business clients, investors, and private individuals in real estate transactions ranging from $200,000 to transactions in excess of $25,000,000.
