Real Estate Closings and Business Development

We have used Susan in 5 real estates closings in the last 3 years. She is extremely thorough in validating contract terms and making sure it we understood all terms. Susan is also our consultant with our rental properties. She has assisted us with everything from lease revisions to evictions. Her... past experience has helped us identify holes in our business model and has kept us compliant with new requirements annually.

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.
