Val is an amazing attorney with excellent work ethic, knowledge, experience and communications skills.
His communication response time to emails and calls is off the charts. Val literally responds to emails within minutes and even after business hours.
Val advised us on all our employee agreements, lender and vendor contracts and more.
Val has done tremendous work for us and I highly recommend his services.
Business start-ups, acquisition, divestiture, buy-sell agreements, organizational structure, partnership and LLC agreements. Counselling business owners with practical, results oriented advice.
Negotiating, drafting and restructuring commercial leases; real estate acquisition, sale and development; construction agreements; zoning, land development.

6 years
Practical, real-world experience and advice.
For over 25 years, I have advised and counselled financial institutions, not-for profit entities, commercial borrowers, local and state governments, real estate developers, restaurant owners, and a variety of large and small businesses.
More recently, as Corporate & General Counsel to two national restaurant chains and their parent entities, I oversaw a variety of complex corporate, M&A, restructuring, real estate and employment matters, helping to lead those organizations during the pandemic and related economic challenges. This allowed me to serve both as lawyer/advisor and as a member of the executive team, giving me important insight into decision making and the challenges facing businesses.
I enjoy working with small business owners and helping them bring their dreams to life. I give advice that is practical, minimizing risk and protecting you and your investment, while being mindful of the need to get your deal done efficiently and not over-lawyering the transaction.
Whether you are starting a new venture, expanding your existing business or seeking to enforce your rights, I would love to assist and advise you.
