Practice
Areas
Most of my
professional time has been spent in the area of construction law. In
that regard, I have provided legal services to property owners, tenants,
builders and building professionals. In that capacity I have provided legal representation
in the following types of matters:
Litigation (Trial of cases before a judge or jury)
Arbitration (Trial of cases before arbitrators)
Mediation (Settlement process where a trained mediator attempts to help
settle litigation.)
Pre-construction bid documents
Construction contracts, including:
- New Home Construction Agreements
- Change orders
- Subcontractor Agreements
- AIA Contract Documents
Real Estate contracts, including:
- Deed Preparation
- Sale Contracts
- Bond for Deed Agreements
- Leasing Agreements
Business Formation, including:
- Formation of Corporations
- Formation of Limited Liability Company's
- Partnership Agreements
- Buy/Sell Agreements
In addition to all aspects
of Construction Law, I have significant experience in Consumer
Fraud Cases under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices
Act, <#> the Home Repair Fraud Act <#> , and The Illinois Residential
Real Estate Disclosure Act <#> .
I have also had considerable experience with all types of
property loss cases, including handing matters relating to
fire, flood, mine subsidence, or other damages to structures.
I have represented both insurance companies as well as persons
making insurance claims.
I have significant experience handling intellectual property litigation
(patents, trademarks, copyrights) and can assist either the owner
of intellectual property or the alleged infringer with these matters.
Finally, I do provide representation in some criminal matters.
As reflected in my profile, I am an adjunct professor at St. Louis
University and I instruct in the criminal justice program.
If I do not provide representation in an area where you need assistance, please
contact me and I will do my best to assist you in locating
an attorney of
quality that would have these skills.
