About Franklin
Biography
My legal education provided opportunities in both the public and private sectors early in my career, resulting in the development of a unique and well rounded set of land use and real estate expertise. This first led me to establish a property management and investment brokerage firm. Subsequently, I partnered as an attorney with Lawvex, Inc. to provide comprehensive legal representation to my existing and expanding client base. My primary areas of focus in include land use, entitlements, subdivisions, development, transactions and asset protection strategies. I am geographically focused and vested in the long term success of the Central Valley in California through identifying and meeting the needs of like minded real estate investors.
