I advise clients on a wide range of business matters, working with both financial institutions and growing businesses. I represent clients in and outside of the courtroom, providing guidance aimed at helping them achieve their business goals. For my financial institution clients, I provide counsel throughout the life cycle of every loan transaction. With over a decade of experience in maximizing recovery of troubled assets, I handle matters in federal, state, and bankruptcy courts. My approach is designed to improve recoveries while minimizing costs and exposure, ensuring troubled loans are resolved efficiently and effectively.
For my business clients, I provide guidance across the full business life cycle—from creation to growth. I often serve as outside general counsel, helping clients navigate legal challenges, seize opportunities, and grow their businesses while keeping long term goals in mind. I strive to be responsive and practical in every interaction, so clients can focus on running their businesses confidently.
