Happily practicing law in the North Carolina mountains, my practice primarily involves construction and real estate issues.  I represent a number of planned communities, condominiums and homeowners' associations.  A substantial portion of my practice involves the support of and representation of contractors and developers.  I also advise individuals who want to arrange for owner financing and am thouroughly familiar with foreclosure proceedings.. In my spare time, I enjoy vegetable gardening, collegiate sports and the beautiful blueridge mountains!
