Practice Areas

• Civil Defense

Civil defense is the practice of representing defendants named in a civil lawsuit. A civil lawsuit generally seeks money from the defendant. The most common types of civil litigation include: disputes, contracts, and business transactions. I will advice the best possible options with my thorough and detailed research and evaluation.

With years of being a former Roofing Contractor, I know the process of construction from planning, permitting, and execution. I am connected with dozens of general contractors and experts in the specialty fields of Electrical, Flooring, Framing, Plumbing, Solar, and specially Roofing.

Buying and selling real estate is the most common type of real estate transaction.
