Owning and running a business can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life.  Thanks to ongoing regulatory changes and new court rulings, it has also become an increasingly complicated endeavor.  Don't be fooled by unprofessional companies without proper legal credentials who claim that they can give you adequate advice over the internet without even meeting with you!  You and your business deserve the advantages of the best in professional legal counsel.  This is what I provide.

Businesses, like individuals, can be at various stages of life and can require different types and levels of legal assistance.  Every business and business owner have unique issues that should not be addressed with a "one size fits all" so-called solution.  No matter what stage your business is in, I can provide you with comprehensive and custom tailored legal assistance.
