About the Office

Our Office Philosophy

Our office philosophy is simple. We represent and treat clients the way we, ourselves, would like to be represented and treated. Legal matters, especially real estate transactions, touch on many aspects of peoples' lives, from their emotions attached to buying or selling a home, to their financial circumstances, to their family relationships and more. All too often, people recount anecdotes of stressful real estate closings, usually involving last minute surprises about details being overlooked. Such stories often emanate from one fact: The people involved did not have an experienced and trusted professional representing their interests and guiding them through the sometimes arcane world of real estate law.

Billing

Our office policy on fees reflects our aversion to billing on an hourly basis. Keeping strict track of time puts pressure on clients and their lawyers to hurry important conversations because they know charges are accruing every minute. Thus, most of our work is done on a flat fee basis, the terms of which are discussed and agreed upon in advance. In cases where hourly charges are appropriate, a written fee agreement is executed.
