I have been practicing law for 20+ years and litigated over 75 cases involving wills & trusts, real estate matters, business and tax disputes.  My office has handled hundreds of probates and prepared over hundreds of different kinds of trusts.  I have a specialty in tax law (L.L.M.). The best part of what I do is working with people and providing solutions to those in need.  Usually by the time people come to me, a legal crisis has already happened and they need direction, a road map and somebody to help get them there without breaking their bank.  They need a loyal advocate, a person who can shoot straight and give them easy-to-understand answers without legalese or legal arrogance.  I am that person.  I have seen the inside of more courtrooms than I care to count.  And I strongly believe that litigation makes an attorney better equipped to handle transaction on behalf of his or her client.  My clients vary from Homeowner's Associations to elderly mothers, from multiple franchise owners to children who just lost a parent.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Before I was an attorney, I spent approximately 10 years in the restaurant industry.  I also started and ran a painting contracting company during college.  Even in those non-legal positions, I found myself advocating for others who did not have much of a voice.  Often these were low-level employees whose employers took advantage of them because they were young, female, immigrants, or did not speak fluent English.. Since graduating from law school in 1998, I have worked on a wide variety of cases, and for an even wider variety of people and businesses.  Since starting my own firm in 2000, I have represented only small businesses and individuals--typically against wealthy individuals and powerful corporations.  Although these defendants generally can afford the most expensive law firms, I have found that I can obtain justice for my clients through persistent and creative litigation.. Thank you for reviewing my profile.  If you would like to speak about a potential legal matter, please feel free to call me or send me an email.. - Anthony
