As an Business/Employment Law Attorney, I am eager to advocate for clients who need to resolve their most challenging employment issues and develop sound business legal and tax strategies.

My clients will be able to tap into my tangible business experience as a real estate agent, investor and franchise owner to help them set up their business entities properly and fully understand tax implications each entity type brings. This will help reduce/eliminate liability and maximize efficiency.

As a successful real estate agent/investor and business owner, I have worked through just about every conceivable business, staffing, legal and tax issue there is. As a business attorney, I can offer that real-world experience to my clients, helping them to start and run their businesses on solid legal ground.

I bring the highest ethical standards to every engagement. I enjoy working to ensure all parties can reach a satisfactory agreement as quickly and stress-free as possible.
