About Richard
Biography
I have been practicing real estate and business law for over 25 years. I deliver optimal cost-efficient solutions for clients, whether through the negotiation and drafting of complex transactions, or litigating contentious disputes. I have represented clients in a wide variety of real estate and business matters, whether they were participating as an investor, developer, builder, contractor, homeowner, broker, lender, borrower, landlord, tenant, debtor, creditor, or title company.
I also represent investors and developers in commercial transactions through the acquisition, due diligence, management, sale, and exchange stages of investment properties and businesses, including negotiating and drafting purchase agreements, development agreements, partnership agreements, CC&Rs, easements, leases, options, assignments, non-competition agreements, promissory notes, deeds of trust, security agreements, and subordination agreements. The projects involved include multi-tenant office and retail shopping centers, as well as single tenant leased investments, with national franchises such as Walgreens, Carl's Jr., Dollartree, Autozone, IHOP, Olive Garden, O'Reilly, and Tireworks, as well as local businesses.

Hightly Capable Attorney
Rick represented me on an extremely complex legal issue where we were up against deep pocketed opponents who thought they had an airtight case. Only through Rick's dogged and creative execution of our position were we able to prevail without going to court. I recommend him highly.
