Transaction Consulting

  My legal experience since 1976 gives me insight into the numerous problems you may encounter in the purchase or sale of residential or commercial real estate and businesses.  We review contracts, advise and assist with due diligence, and prepare and review closing documents.  You can designate us as the closing agent or we can review the activities of other closing agents.  Don't go it alone.  Call us for help. 

Evictions

   It normally takes at about two weeks for residential evictions and up to a month for commercial evictions for you to obtain a judgment for possession.  If you have a tenant who is not paying, don't delay in filing an eviction action.  The tenant may try to convince you they will bring the rent current soon, but all too often soon turns into months.  If you file an eviction action, you can enter into a payment plan (stipulation for judgment) with the tenant, and if they fail to timely pay any payment under the stipulation, you can immediately get an order for possession and a judgment for past due rent and other charges.  Payment plans outside of an eviction action may only delay the time in which it takes you to obtain possession.  We will be glad to help you with any required notices and to review your lease to determine your rights. Most evictions do not go to trial or mediation but if your case goes to trial, we have over 20 years experience in eviction litigation and will be by your side.  Call us for a consultation now.

Probate

    I have focused on probate administration and litigation since 1976.  With our knowledge and experience in real estate, we can assist you to clear real estate title issues while we help you with the administration of your loved one's probate estate. We can normally complete a Summary Administration with the Determination of Homestead within one month. If a Formal Administration is required, you can typically sell real property soon after Letters of Administration are issued without waiting until the end of the administration
