General Practice
I have over 35 years experience in the general practice of civil law, including wills, trusts, estate planning, probate; personal injury including governmental, uninsured & underinsured motorist claims; business formation including corporations with a special emphasis on nonprofit corporations; & real estate including landlord/tenant.<br/>
I also have extensive experience as arbitrator/mediator & trial court judge. <br/>
The first thing I do is find out what my client wishes to have done. Then in a collaborative manner working with the client determine how to achieve that goal.
