I use my extensive experience in landlord-tenant law to inform and enhance my real estate practice. If a tenant is staying on the property that is subject of a transaction, I use my expertise to make sure the real estate deal is handled correctly. I also draft and/or review leases. My clients can be sure they know what they are getting into when they sign on the dotted line of a lease.
Employment Law
Employment law covers such things as how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. I stand up for the rights of people who are discriminated against at the workplace on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.
