Santa Cruz Civil Litigation Attorney
Negotiation • Mediation • Arbitration • Trial • Appeals

Since 1997, I have represented businesses and individuals in Santa Cruz and the surrounding area in cases involving easement disputes, breach of contract, and commercial disputes. As a litigator, I must have an  understanding of  people, a firm grounding in the law, and an ability to think on my feet. If you are involved in a business dispute or suspect you may need a commercial lawyer, don't wait – contact a civil litigation attorney as soon as possible.

I offer an initial consultation at a reduced rate. At that meeting, I will take the time to understand your concerns and your legal position. I will let you know exactly what your options are and the likely outcome of each. Once you completely understand the choices before you, I will offer practical advice based on my extensive experience and knowledge of the law.

Transactional Business and Commercial Law: Avoiding Litigation

Businesses and individuals involved in any kind of transaction are at some degree of risk. As a civil trial lawyer, I have seen the problems that arise from poorly negotiated or improperly drafted contracts. I help my clients avoid disputes by negotiating, reviewing, and drafting contracts that thoroughly address foreseeable problems. Before you sign any contract, whether it is a home purchase agreement or a business contract, contact a business attorney for advice. That advice may be the best investment you make.
