About Roberto
Biography
Thank you for visiting my Avvo profile. I hope what follows is helpful to you assessing the need and fit.
I returned to live and work in Chelan County, Washington State in late January 2014 an just opened my law practice after opening my business brokerage and litigation support/appraisal valuation business. Yes, I operate three istinct businesses. The legal profession is undergoing unprecendent change and delivering value (at an affordable price) is critical.
The legal profession is also raising questions about the extent to which the adversarial system works for individuals, families, and business; does being adversarial ultimately lead to the truth? an efficient outcome? are other options better suited to arrive at a resolution? While I have my doubts about the efficacy of the adversarial system properly and affordably addressing issues, I have experience in litigation.
As an attorney, my mission is to develop business relationships with clients that enable me to provide far more than just legal advise. What I bring to the "table" are comprehensive skills intended to assist creating and preserving value, developing transition and exit strategies that are tax efficient and fair.
My business, appraisal and tax background, training, work experience and collaborative aproach are factors that differentiate me from other attorneys and other law practices. While I have reservations about the efficacy of the adversarial system, it is a fixture
Thank you for considering me as your potential legal counsel.
