State Liquor Authority
Applying for your state liquor authority license can be trickier than you might think.
There are just too many details for the average person to become proficient, especially since the rules and forms change almost monthly. Rather than dealing with so called “consultants” who charge inflated fees and typically slow down the process, it is to your advantage to utilize the guidance and expertise of an attorney who understands the ins and outs of the application process.
As your attorney, I know what it takes to get you approved and I can do this for you quickly. I can also help you with all of the other necessary licenses, certificates, and classifications to get your business up and running as soon as possible so that you may begin earning money.

Corporate Business Law
Perhaps the most important part of running your business is the planning you do at the very beginning. The formal agreements you make can act as a form of insurance against things like unforeseen downturns in the market, disagreements amongst partners, or even the untimely death of a key person. I can help you by evaluating your needs and drawing up the necessary contracts and agreements allowing you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that, regardless of what the future may bring, you have the proper contingency plan in place to ensure the security and longevity of your enterprise.

Traffic Law
Making an appearance in traffic court is rarely convenient. It usually requires taking several hours out of your busy day or even missing an entire day of work. However, in most traffic courts, attorneys are allowed the privilege of being heard by the judge before those without representation. As your attorney, I can represent you in traffic court and can even do so in your absence (preventing you from losing a day’s pay) In addition, I have experience working with local judges and prosecutors to reduce and eliminate the penalties associated with traffic violations.
