We have four attorneys and a large support staff.  We handle any size real estate tax matter in Cook County and we represent diverse property holdings in the collar counties and throughout the State of Illinois.  We represent houses, (including several of the highest taxed residences in Cook and Lake Counties), apartment buildings, low income housing, mobile home parks, condo buildings, industrial properties including trucking facilities and factories, and every kind of commercial property including high rise office buildings, national retailers, gyms, and car dealerships.  We also represent special use properties such as golf courses, hospital buildings, equestrian properties, and ice rinks.  We also represent the OREO portfolios for small and large banks..

In addition to my law practice, I am also a Managing Real Estate Broker in the State of Illinois.  Prior to attending law school, I had experience working for private developers as well as transactional real estate law firms.  I also own investment property and am therefore well-apprised of the everyday issues that landlords and developers face on a daily basis.
