In real estate transactions, we bring sophistication and efficiency to acquisition, development, financing, leasing, and disposition matters.  We specialize in finding creative ways for our clients to get practical results.  Our experience and results-oriented approach allow us to identify elements that may have not been fully discussed and to suggest creative solutions that meet our client's needs.

We represent owners, developers, investors, borrowers and businesses in residential, commercial and industrial real estate projects and transactions.

In estate planning matters, we work hard to develop strong personal relationships with our clients and assist in educating them in a meaningful way about their estate and succession planning options and opportunities.  We represent clients by designing estate plans that reduce estate and income taxes without sacrificing personal concerns, financial security or the needs of survivors.  We counsel about both the tax consequences and the broader personal ramifications such as choosing the best fiduciary, planning for the future with minor children, elderly parents, or disabled dependants.

When our clients realize that without a properly structured estate, up to 70 percent of their estate could be lost to taxes of one kind or another, they often tell us they wish they had started planning sooner.  Making estate planning a lifetime priority enables a person to take advantage of vehicles such as trusts and tax-sheltered accounts that will not only benefit them while they are alive, but also leave their estate in good shape for transfer to their family upon their death.

We assist clients in a broad range of matters, including:
