on the following areas of law:
Construction Law
Whether it is a contract dispute, debt collection, liability, or any issue that may
arise in the course of a construction project, Chris will use his personal
experience to work for you. Chris is unique in that he has over five years of
experience in the construction industry and holds a license as a professional
engineer in the State of Ohio as well as a licence to practice law. He will bring
that experience to help you resolve any issue quickly and fairly while protecting
you and your business's legal rights.
Business/Corporate
Every Fortune 500 company began as a small business. Those businesses
needed solid legal support at every step along the way. Whether your
business goal is to stay small or reach the Fortune 500, Chris is able to meet
your legal needs at every stage in the life of your business including
representation in legal disputes, drafting and reviewing contracts, and
providing legal advice on all aspects of the law.
New Business
Every business starts with one or more people with a dream. Chris knows this,
having his own law practice is his dream. Chris will help you make that dream a
reality and help you form your business organization and provide all forms of
legal services as your business grows and prospers.
Litigation
The prospect of litigation can be intimidating. Chris advises his clients to avoid
litigation and resolve disputes amicably for both parties whenever possible.
However, sometimes a fair compromise can not be reached and litigation is the
only way to protect your rights. When this is the case, Chris will bring his
unique knowledge of litigation obtained as a clerk for the Ohio Second District
Court of Appeals to bear to protect your rights.
Debt Collection
Unfortunately, all businesses must deal with customers who are unable or
unwilling to pay on their obligations. Often, the failure to pay is due to
circumstances beyond the debtor's control and the creditor faces a total loss.
Chris works with both sides of a dispute to find a solution that is manageable
for the debtor and protects the rights of the creditor.
Appellate Litigation
A legal action or conviction does not end with the last day of trial. Most
judgments by a municipal, county, or common pleas court may be appealed to
a higher court where a panel of judges will determine whether the trial court
correctly handled your case. An appeal is a very complex matter and
significantly different from a trial. As a former clerk for the Ohio Second District
Court of Appeals, Chris has a unique and in-depth understanding of appellate
work and will help you protect your interests on appeal.
Real Estate
Real Estate law is a complicated matter based on modern statutes and
traditions that date back over 1,000 years. Whether your concern is about
problems between landlords and tenants, contracts for the sale of real estate,
or resolving disputes, Chris will ensure that your real estate documents are
correct and your rights are protected.
