BUSINESS LAW
Review my profile and you will recognize that I am an experienced and successful entrepreneur as well as an attorney. As a small business owner, I have experienced all the challenges that you, as an entrepreneur, have experienced and have represented many small business owners in identifying, evaluating and overcoming those challenges whether it be initial start-up issues, capitalization, employer/employee relations, partnership/shareholder relationships, succession planning or dissolution.
I’ve been engaged in private enterprise since a very young age and have successfully developed, managed and conveyed a number of private enterprises. Having represented many small business owners, I understand, full well, the difficulties that arise at every stage of a business venture and how to successfully deal with them. I’m your “General Practionter” for small business. Although not an exhaustive list of business services I provide, here are the highlights:
Initial Business Planning
Business Formation – Any and all forms of business entity in any jurisdiction.

THE BIG PICTURE. . . and the fine print. I am experienced in anticipating potential barriers to the deal, carefully protecting client interests throughout the process, recognizing what professionals need to be involved and addressing all contingencies if the transaction is terminated. But, please call me BEFORE you commit yourself to any legal obligations
