Mike's legal practice is focused on representing investors and developers in a broad range of real estate matters, including acquisitions, developments, dispositions, commercial leasing, litigation, and opportunity zone consulting. Mike has experience representing clients in residential and commercial transactions, with a focus on representing clients in the acquisition of multi-family apartment properties. Since 2019, Mike has structured and closed over $500M in real estate transactions throughout the country. Mike regularly works with real estate partnerships by discussing the partners' goals before helping with the formation of their entity with all the necessary organizational documents.
