Wide-Ranging Experience
I have extensive experience helping individuals, corporations and other businesses deal with transactional disputes over contracts, construction, real estate and other issues.
I am fully prepared to argue these cases in court, but I will always take the approach that is best for my client, and I recognize the value of preserving business and personal relationships by negotiating an out-of-court resolution with the help of a skilled lawyer.

Contesting an Unfair or Suspect Will
The courts enforce people's wills so that individuals can make their own decisions about how their assets will be distributed when they die.
However, when a will or the revision of a will has been tainted by undue influence or other exploitative and deceptive practices, you may be able to seek a fair result that honors the true intentions of your loved one by contesting the will.
I am experienced at contesting wills and will help you through the entire process, including any disputes as to which court has jurisdiction over the issue.
