Real Estate

The skilled lawyers at our firm handle various real estate matters. These issues require an attorney to be highly organized and very attentive to details, as are the attorneys at our firm. We review and draft real estate agreements such as leases and other contracts, handle the purchase and sale of property, both residential and commercial, and assist clients through a number of other commercial and residential real estate matters.

Labor and Employment Law

In order to accommodate the needs of many of our individual and business clients, our firm offers comprehensive representation to parties needing counsel in labor and employment related matters. Our lawyers were previously employed by Trans World Airlines (TWA) in executive level positions, and have the labor and employment background needed to be effective both in, and out of, the courtroom. Some of the types of issues we have handled include discrimination, sexual harassment, executive compensation, employment agreements, severance packages, and non-compete agreements.
