I have committed my professional career to the real estate industry since 1984. Before and during law school, I worked as a real estate salesperson and mortgage banker. After law school I began practicing real estate litigation, then evolving into a mostly-transactional practice buying, entitling, developing and selling commercial real property and businesses, as an attorney, real estate broker and principal throughout California. I have the highest rating, AV, with Martindale-Hubbell (www.martindale.com). I strive to creatively add value to my clients and business associates to make them better off for having been associated with me. I always try to look beyond the problem to find the opportunity which is usually there waiting to be discovered. I enjoy what I do which provides the energy to put in the hard work required to transform the problem to a realized opportunity.
To make others better off for associating with us.
Focus of Practice: Buying, entitling, developing and selling commercial real property and businesses. Drafting clear contracts which promote the economic goals of the parties, reduce contractual disputes and preserve relationships. Helping my clients and business associates identify, realize and achieve worthy goals for their businesses and properties. Extensive experience in secured lending and work-outs for severely distressed properties and businesses throughout California.
