I am a seasoned professional with nearly 40 years of business law experience including representing buyers and sellers of businesses, shareholders and membership unit owners. I have extensive experience with SBA loans, earn-outs, escrow hold-backs, owner indemnification agreements, collateral assignments, and lease assignments. My experience includes professional practices (including numerous medical and insurances practices), franchise businesses, restaurants, etc. I have handled 6- to 8-figure deals on behalf of clients who could not find cost-effective representation from other firms in Florida, with a "sweet spot" transaction size of deals between $2mm and $5mm.

My extensive past experience in complex commercial litigation allows me to better evaluate potential future litigation issues and advise my clients accordingly.

Areas of Practice
In Tampa and across the state, I represent clients in cases involving:
-Mergers & Acquisitions: Let me help you with my decades of experience in complex transactional experience in buying a business or selling a business. In most transactions, I can offer you a fixed fee that avoids the uncertainty of legal fees that often are out-of-control in these sorts of transactions and easily can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
-Business Law: I handle a full range of business law services, including formation, contract review and development, shareholder disputes and more. For experienced advocacy for your business, contact me today.
-Personal Injury Defense (Business): Uninsured or Underinsured Personal injury claims can be devastating to a business. If your business has been named as a defendant in a personal injury action and is uninsured or underinsured, you need an experienced personal injury defense attorney by your side. I give you a clear picture of your exposure and the options available to you.
-Business Litigation (defense only): As a business owner, it is likely that you will encounter a dispute with a client or a contractor. I use alternative dispute resolution to attempt to resolve many business disputes and, in critical cases, either undertake the representation myself or refer your case to a dedicated litigation firm to assist in the matter. With the help of an assertive business litigation attorney, you can secure the future of your company.
While our M&A and business law services are available state-wide, our personal injury and commercial litigation defense services are available only in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties.
