Areas of Practice
Real EstateReal estate is a major investment for most businesses, and individuals often contribute fifty (50%) percent or more of their net worth to obtaining property. However, people often make these large investments with no independent legal advice.

In addition, she is experienced in the development of small to medium-sized condominium developments and in the drafting of condominium documents. Our clients also include commercial and residential landlords, realtors and property managers to whom we provide a wide range of services including, but not limited to, the resolution of lease disputes, drafting of lease documents, lease reviews and negotiations, and commercial and residential evictions. We also represent clients in real estate litigation.
Wills
"Estate planning" involves securing a person's assets for the eventual distribution to heirs and/or beneficiaries, and ensuring one's wishes with respect to end-of-life matters are provided for. This often consists of more than just setting up a simple will. Your attorney must also create the proper combination of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives, or other documents.
Many clients want to know whether they really need an estate plan if they do not have a lot of monetary wealth. The answer is yes! Creating estate-planning documents allows you to do the following, although this list is not exhaustive:
- Determine who will care for your minor children
- Determine who will handle money for your children
- Set up a trust for your children to pay for college, living expenses, medical needs, and the like
- Plan for your own care in the event you become incapacitated
- Determine who will receive heirlooms or other special items
- Make donations to charitable organizations
- Determine who will care for your pet(s)
- State your wishes regarding your medical care
