I’m a business lawyer. This means I do two things: I put to writing the deals my clients make and represent my clients when disputes arise.. I structure agreements so that the transaction—be it a commercial lease, a purchase agreement, a partnership agreement, or whatever—accurately reflects what both sides envision, protects my client’s interests, and anticipates the relevant legal issues.. But life is dynamic, and disputes arise. When they do, I’m there to represent my clients in negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation.. Most of my clients are medium-size, privately held companies, where the owner has a significant role in operations. Examples include: construction, manufacturing and real estate companies, community banks and a national title insurance company.. Martindale-Hubbell awarded me AV rating. I have successfully argued before the Ohio Supreme Court.. I communicate clearly and frequently with my clients. No one ever has to ask, “What’s going on with my case?” I stand behind my work, and my invoices reflect that I get the job done at the right price.. I have been published in The Columbus Dispatch op-ed and Columbus Business First viewpoint sections and maintain a blog, , where I write about a variety of social issues, ranging from the death penalty to human trafficking.

I'm originally from Buffalo, New York and have remained a loyal Buffalo Bills and Sabres fan.  My wife and I have two grown daughter's who became teacher's like their mom (now retired) and two young grandchildren.

For that reason I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation by telephone or in person to see if I can help. Thank you for taking the time to review my Avvo profile and for considering the use of my services. I look forward to working with you!
