Business Law and Transactions

I advise and represent a wide variety of businesses of all sizes, including manufacturers, wholesale distributors, retail shopping centers, multi-family apartment complexes, commercial property managers and brokers, mental health care providers, marina operators, graphic designers, vending and amusement route operators, and others.

I have built my reputation on long-term relationships with these organizations and individuals, for whom I am fortunate to serve as a trusted counselor and partner.
