Frequently Answered Questions

What are the most common business issues that you handle?

The business portion of my practice focuses on a wide array of corporate and associated legal and business matters from the acquisition, formation and structuring of a business(es), to the day-to-day operations of a business through the potential sale or disposition of a business. For many clients, I act as “general counsel” to their business as any issues arise. I manage nearly all business legal issues but I always have specialists on standby for particularly specialized issues such as intellectual property, complex employment law matters or similar.

What are the most common real estate issues that you handle?

The majority of my real estate practice deals with leasing, purchase or sale, including due diligence, and financing of commercial properties as well as standard and complex 1031 tax-deferred exchanges transactions. For commercial properties, I am able to assist with landlord/tenant matters. For residential properties, I regularly advise clients on the purchase, sale and financing of residential property including assistance with purchase and sale agreements, due diligence matters and the escrow closing process associated with residential real estate.

What distinguishes you from other business, real estate and estate planning attorneys?

My practice is built upon this unique one-on-one relationship that, oftentimes, becomes a long-term and mutually beneficial relationship.Unlike large and mid-sized law firms, I am responsible for having a full understanding of each legal and business issue and I, individually, handle all documentation, negotiation and related issues. As a sole practitioner with over 20 years of experience and education in law, real estate and business, I manage my practice in a far different fashion than most traditional law firms.

Do you handle residential landlord / tenant disputes or evictions?

No, I do not handle residential landlord/tenant disputes or eviction/unlawful detainer actions. These types of legal matters are best handled by a specialist that consistently deals with the relevant and associated issues and the specific eviction/unlawful detainer court process.

Do you handle arbitration, litigation or probate issues?

No, my practice is specifically focused and specialized on transactional business, real estate and estate planning matters. My experience and expertise is in these particular areas and, for that reason, I do not handle any arbitration or litigation matters whether related to business, real estate or estate planning. I do not go to court nor file papers or documents with any court. I do, however, represent clients in mediations related to business and real estate issues and have significant experience in doing so.

What is the pricing structure for your legal services?

All matters are handled on an hourly or time-based manner or a flat/fixed fee basis. Legal issues that are more predictable or routine, such as formation of a new business entity (LLC, corporation, etc.) or a foundational estate plan, are handled on a flat/fixed fee basis. On other matters that involve an unknown amount of time or resources, such as the purchase or sale of a business or the negotiation of a contract with a new client or vendor, is typically handled on an hourly or time-based fashion. The fee structure is always fully discussed and disclosed upfront and mutually agreed upon by myself and my clients so to avoid any “surprise” billings or invoices.

  We were in a very unfortunate real estate dispute and were so lucky to find Jeff.  Jeff was unlike any other lawyer (of any kind) which I had come to contact in the past. He genuinely cared about us and our situation.  He actively followed up and stayed with us until the matter was resolved.  Needless to say that he is my lawyer of choice for RE matters as well as Estate Planning and business law for the future.  I HIGHLY recommend him.

  I needed help registering an LLC in California and Jeff helped with the entire process end-to-end.  He's extremely knowledgeable in all facets of the various business types you can create, the laws governing them, and the cost structure of each.  Within a few days, all the paperwork was filed and I hit the ground running.  Highly recommended!

  Jeff was referred to me by one of his clients for my business sale transaction.  I had a previous business sale attorney that i had an unpleasant experience with and was in need of an attorney that is in this business for the interest of his client.  Selling a business is one of the most stressful transactions one can do.  Jeff, from the beginning, listened to my needs, advised me accordingly throughout the entire transaction, the cost was more than fair and his response throughout was timely and efficient.  We made it through the sale and my interests were protected and i would refer Jeff to anyone in need of an attorney.  I will absolutely use Jeff if any legal need would arise!

  Jeffery is simply amazing. He shepherded my sole proprietorship into a full-fledged S corp and did so with aplomb. No hassles, no hidden fees. He was always responsive and kept me in the loop with any developments. Absolutely solid results & great advice. He's now got a client for life.

  I engaged Jeff to prepare a living trust, advanced care directives, etc. as I've been neglecting to do it for years.  Jeff was extremely responsive and pleasant to work with. I always felt like my questions were not an imposition.     He did excellent work in a very reasonable amount of time - even expediting it when I asked.  His fees were very competitive.  Would definitely recommend him.

  I can't say enough great things about Jeff and how helpful he has been to making my business come to fruition. When you go into something that's complicated and with so many unanswered questions it can be extremely unnerving and Jeff has done everything in his power to help allay our concerns, simplify things, and guide us through the sometimes overwhelming uncharted territory. 
From this point forward, Jeff is "our guy" and we see no need to use anyone else. Jeff is neither pretentious nor is he arrogant. Instead, he is down to earth, helpful and addresses your concerns quickly. We are extremely happy with him and with our decision to use him. The other 5 star review are well earned and he is what everyone says he is. 
Thanks Jeff, we couldn't have done this without you and you are greatly appreciated, probably more than you'll ever know!
