  • Civil & Criminal Litigation

    Going to court should be your last resort but if you need assistance with a divorce, property dispute, criminal defense or any other legal matter, then you need someone with the requisite knowledge and skills to obtain the best possible resolution. Do not leave your future to chance.

  • Business Law

    What’s in a name? The better question might be, “What is the appropriate corporate structure?” The right corporate structure can minimize liabilities and taxes. Hiring an experienced corporate lawyer is not a business expense. It’s an investment.
