I have committed my professional career to the real estate industry since 1984. Before and during law school, I worked as a real estate salesperson and mortgage banker. After law school, I began practicing real estate litigation, then evolved into a mostly-transactional practice buying, entitling, developing and selling commercial real property and businesses, as an attorney, real estate broker and principal throughout California. I have the highest rating, AV, with Martindale-Hubbell (www.martindale.com). I strive to creatively add value to my clients and business associates to make them better off for having been associated with me. I look beyond the problem to find the opportunity which is waiting to be discovered. I enjoy what I do which provides the energy to put in the hard work required to transform the problem to a realized opportunity. Specialties: Focus of Practice: Buying, entitling, developing and selling commercial real property and businesses. Drafting clear contracts which promote the economic goals of the parties, reduce contractual disputes and preserve relationships. Helping my clients and business associates identify and achieve worthy goals for their businesses and properties, from start-up/acquisition through growth and sale. Extensive secured lending and work-out experience with distressed properties/businesses.
