During my 44 years of private law practice, I have handled most every type of legal matter. I have a general practice with an emphasis on commercial , real property and condominium litigation, bankruptcy, corporate formation and governance, family law & domestic violence, estates & probate, wills & trusts. I do not handle criminal cases or taxation matters. If I cannot handle your legal problem, I will refer you to someone who can do so competently and cost effectively.

AMAZING-PROFESSIONAL-QUICK!
