About Nancy

Biography

Nancy has the knowledge and experience to give clients the highest quality representation. She has substantial business and financial expertise and can assist in any real estate or business transaction. She brings big firm quality and boutique service to her practice.

Purchase and sale of real estate can be complex. Knowledge of purchase and sale agreements, warranties and issues with ownership is crucial to a successful transaction. Commercial leasing for both landlord and tenant involves numerous critical issues which must be dealt with in leases.

Formation of entities including tax consequences and entity operations.

Real estate ownership should always be in a limited liability company. This entity provides pass-through taxation as in a partnership, and liability shield for owners as in a corporation. With escalating real estate values many sell their property by way of 1031 exchange. Nancy is a national expert.

Lawyer for Condminium Property Regime

Nancy was hired to get our family through a family issue with a property which had two houses on one lot. She was quite thorough in what was needed and what we had to do to separate the property in half. Unfortunately, we had issue with things beyond her control, which dragged the process on and on. ...Nancy was very easy to work with and returned calls promptly. We hope to never have to deal with property in the future but we would hire her again if the need arises.

Focused, Attentive, and Professional

Nancy came highly reccomended to me. I contacted her on short notice for some urgent work on a small business contract issue. She asked the right questions, and was able to arrive quickly and accurately to the right answers. Her help is greatly appreciated.
