• Debtor / Creditor. When collection is a necessity, turning to an experienced attorney can speed up the process. The collection process is driven by a maze of statutes and procedures that are confusing to both debtor and creditor.

We have intimate knowledge of the federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and have on many occasions helped clients achieve satisfaction through litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
• Real Estate and Landlord/Tenant. We represent both commercial clients and individuals in all proceedings and transactions that deal with real property land and the structures attached to it including purchase and sale, construction, mortgages and foreclosures, leases, zoning, title examinations, quiet title actions, closings, and management. A home is important to a sense of security and well-being. Likewise, the location of a business can be crucial to its survival. Our attorneys have dealt with disputes between Landlords and Tenants that threaten the relationship between lessors and lessees of residential and commercial property.

Governmental Law

• Eminent Domain. Eminent domain is the power to take private property for public use by the state or local municipality. When a client must surrender property under the state's right of eminent domain, they are usually entitled to fair compensation. Be sure to hire a lawyer with experience in this area to be sure your interests are protected.
• State, Local & Municipal Law. Our attorneys have expertise and knowledge in the areas of powers and liabilities of state and local government and municipal corporations, including matters such as land use and zoning issues, municipal employment disputes, and injuries to personal or property by municipal employees.
