Overview
I conduct a general practice of law focused on helping families and family businesses go where they need to go. My particular emphases are on adoptions, landlord-tenant relations, estate planning and probate, but I also litigate disputes in all of these areas, as well as a variety of contract disputes.

My aim is always to assist you and your family in your business and life planning. I want to be your lawyer.

In all aspects of my practice I am sensitive to costs, not just in dollars and cents but also in stress. I strive to help you analyze the procedures, costs, the dangers as well as the ultimate benefits of any given course of action. I discuss with you your goals, likely outcomes and their effects on you, and best/worst scenarios. Recognizing that, in disputes, you come to me in distress, my hope is that ongoing discussions like these can assist you by giving you information and a framework for deciding how to move forward most economically and with the greatest degree of satisfaction in your life.
