AREAS OF PRACTICE

Project Development

I have acted as counsel and/or as an equity partner in a variety of real estate and energy development projects ranging in value from under $1 million to over $500 million.

Estate Planning

I have worked with clients to complete several hundred sets of estate plans, including funding and property transfers.

Title Insurance

I formerly owned and operated a small title insurance agency where we closed several thousand transactions. As a licensed title and escrow officer, I am very familiar with title insurance
and escrow issues. I have also litigated a variety of title insurance issues, have lectured on the subject at continuing education seminars for attorneys, insurance agents, and other real estate professionals, and have acted as a title insurance or escrow expert witness in several lawsuits.

Real Estate

I have represented a wide range of clients in real estate transactions and litigation matters. From the purchase or sale of a residential property to a multi-million dollar commercial lending transaction, I have been involved in hundreds of real estate transactions over the past thirty years. I have also litigated real estate cases ranging from boundary disputes to quiet title actions.

Foreclosure

I have conducted foreclosures for private and institutional clients. I have also successfully litigated foreclosure matters in both bankruptcy and state court proceedings.

Secured Transactions

I have represented both lenders and borrowers in secured transactions ranging from tenant improvement loans to large, syndicated commercial development loans, and just about everything in between.
