Our Practice
We provide skilled and experienced representation in matters involving:
- Real estate law. We represent buyers and sellers at all stages of residential real estate transactions, from the negotiation of contracts and agreements to closing. We review and prepare all documents that are required to complete a real estate deal, including the purchase contract, deed, mortgage, note and other financing instruments. We also prepare residential lease agreements.
- Foreclosure defense. We can help you stop foreclosure by renegotiating the terms of your mortgage and protecting your rights in court to save your home. We will raise all defenses to foreclosure, working directly with your lender to refinance or restructure your loan.
- Short sales. We will help you understand the benefits and consequences of a short sale of your home. In some cases, a short sale is in both parties' interests — for both you and the lender. We will act as your advocate with your lender, working to achieve the best terms possible so that you will not owe your lender on a deficiency.
- Estate planning. We work with individuals to develop and implement a plan for the distribution of property upon death, as well as for personal and financial protection in the event of temporary or permanent incapacity. We prepare all documents that are required for a comprehensive estate plan, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and healthcare directives.
