One recent case involved a woman who was "sold" a property by someone who was not the real owner, but an imposter. It turned out that the title was in the name of a deceased person and the children of the deceased were trying to evict my client since she did not hold the deed to the house. After much negotiation, we worked out a three way settlement between the children of the deceased, the imposter, and my client. My client was granted the property at a very reasonable price, pending the necessary financing.
I negotiated the purchase of a mixed-use property in the city of Saint Louis, where the ownership was initially tied up in probate court. Several parties who had interests in my clients not obtaining the property were also involved. We overcame serious obstacles in the area of financing as well as the efforts of our opponents.
I successfully negotiated and documented the relationship between a homebuilder and a major investor, where the investor would purchase property creating a land bank for the builder, who could then sell and build on properties one at a time for homebuyers and split the profits with the investor each time at closing.
I represent real estate developers and investors, as well as entrepreneurs and small to midsized businesses of all types. I also help landlords with tenant and leasing issues and work with individuals in need of Real Estate legal representation.
The focus of my practice is to help small to mid-sized companies navigate today’s legal environment. Personally, my strength is negotiation which is usually the preferred method for settling disputes, though I can pursue a client’s interests in court when necessary.
