Corporate and Incorporation 80%

Incorporating Florida Corporations and LLCs including advice on entity selection and startup issues.

80%
Estate Planning 10%

Although I primarily do corporate and commercial law, I am an experienced tax, trust and estate planning attorney and I have done numerous wills, trust and codicils, many of them quite detailed and complex.

35 years | 25 cases

10%
Litigation 10%

Fresh out of law school handled numerous personal injury claims, then at Florida DOT sued hundreds of Floridians who had damaged DOT property in crashes. I have handled cases as diverse as a claim by a railroad that FDOT had violated a railroad's rights by not pre-empting a local government from regulating the hours trains could sound their horns, a claim that an employee had stolen trade secrets, down to run-of-the-mill commercial landlord-tenant disputes and collections for a mortgage broker.

Posted by anonymous | July 30, 2025 | Child Custody

No Call No Show to Consultations

I had a consultation scheduled today, July 30th at 11am. The attorney did not call and when I spoke to his legal assistant at 11:45am, she claimed he stated he called and left a voicemail, which he did not. We rescheduled for 2pm today and once again, he did not call. I finally emailed the assistant ...just after 3pm and addressed the no call no show then decided to look for legal counsel at a different firm. I would not recommend this attorney or firm. This was in regards to a time sensitive child custody case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
