I concentrate my practice in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, business planning and general business and corporate matters. In addition, I have extensive experience in the areas of commercial lending and finance, equipment leasing, commercial real estate and technology law. While my practice has historically focused on representation of closely-held businesses and start-up companies, I have also been counsel to public companies and venture capitalists.

Jonathan Geisen: Excellent Attorney
Jonathan is the definition of what a good attorney should be. He is easy to work with, always has my best interest at heart, knows when to be tough and when to be diplomatic, and is very thorough. I can highly recommend Jonathan for anyone's corporate legal needs.
