The firm represents individuals and business entities in the acquisition and sale of commercial property throughout New Jersey.  Initially, this requires the review or preparation of a comprehensive purchase agreement.  I then guide my clients through the due diligence period.  For the seller this means providing relevant and necessary information concerning the financial condition of the property, while the purchaser is responsible for conducting physical inspections of the property, including an environmental audit, to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state environmental rules, laws and regulations. When representing a purchaser, I counsel the client throughout the mortgage contingency period and work closely with lending institutions to ensure that the necessary documents are executed at closing by all parties to the transaction.

For many of my clients I also provide will and estate planning services.  Before drafting a will, clients are provided with literature that explains the estate planning process and its costs.  They are asked to list their assets and liabilities on a pre‑printed information sheet and also to designate individuals or entities that will be named as either personal representative, guardian or trustee in the will.  With this information, together we can create an estate plan that preserves, protects and distributes property, while minimizing estate tax liability.  As a part of my estate planning practice, I prepare powers of attorney so that a client can delegate financial decision‑making authority, should the need arise.  I also prepare living wills and health care treatment powers of attorney for those clients who wish to delegate decision‑making authority to another for future health and medical treatment.

I represent individuals in municipal courts throughout central and northern New Jersey charged with motor vehicle and disorderly persons offenses, ranging from simple assault, driving while intoxicated, speeding, reckless driving, careless driving and other moving violations.  I have served as both a municipal prosecutor and public defender.  This experience allows me to fairly assess charges brought against a client and then give advice as to whether to enter into a plea agreement with the State, or vigorously defend your interests at trial.
