I help individuals, businesses, and business owners prosecute and defend lawsuits; manage, structure, and govern their business transactions; write and review contracts and agreements; protect their assets; plan their estates, prepare their wills, and successfully transfer their wealth to future generations.
In particular, I have substantial experience in negotiating, reviewing, and drafting contracts of all types, the creation of advantageous business structures, advising C Level executives, corporate governance, business litigation, and managing outside counsel.

I also design and support complex health care entity business structures for Stark Law, Anti-Kickback, Self-Referral, and Fee Splitting compliance. As a CPA I worked for Ernst and Young (Chicago) and Price Waterhouse Coopers (Houston).
As a dual professional I understand the connections between minimizing legal risks and the costs associated with so doing.I take pride in your customer experience.
