Fair Housing - Compliance & Complaints 

We assist landlords trying to comply with provisions of the Fair Housing Act and provide aggressive defense for our clients against complaints and have since 1994. Are you named in a Fair Housing complaint? Been notified that a resident filed a housing complaint against you for discrimination?

Small and Family-Owned Businesses

Small and family owned businesses have a set of their own unique legal challenges.

Business Organization

Choosing the type of business entity that’s right for your business is difficult and yet one of your most important decisions.

Outside General Counsel

Legal representation at a cost well below that of maintaining counsel on staff. For companies with no in-house legal staff, we handle ongoing, routine legal matters at a fraction of the cost of traditional counsel. For larger companies that have a general counsel or in-house staff, we serve as overflow attorneys, acting as an extension of the in-house team to manage spikes in workload or to cover under-served areas of the business.
