With over 50 years of experience as a practicing attorney, I can help you with a wide range of issues related to all forms of business including entity formation, partnership agreements, commercial leases, day-to-day operations, trademarks, and copyrights. Although Score does not provide legal advice, I can quickly identify issues and direct you to resources. I have been a presenter to other mentors on a variety of topics. As a partner in several medium and large law firms, as well as my own, I practiced law in DC, Maryland, and Virginia representing individuals, companies, and franchisees, including wholesale and retail businesses, joint ventures, real estate developments, banks, credit unions, sole proprietors, and partnerships. Additionally, I have extensive experience advising failing businesses or individuals undergoing financial difficulties or partnership disputes. I have represented debtors, creditors, and bankruptcy trustees; I have served as a bankruptcy trustee, certified bankruptcy mediator, and qualified as a bankruptcy expert in court proceedings.
