• Residential short sales: Negotiating with banks to accept the sale of a home for less than the amount owed on the mortgage.
• Commercial and multifamily real estate: Scrutinizing specific contracts related to commercial or multifamily real estate transactions while ensuring the smooth purchase, sale or lease of property.

• Tenancy: Representing landlords and commercial or residential tenants in disputes over leased property.
• Property tax appeals: Working with residential and commercial clients with concerns that their property is over assessed and thus their property taxes are too high.

• Expungement of records: Filing petitions on behalf of clients wishing to make a fresh career move without the shadow cast by a prior criminal record.
