Eminent Domain · Real Estate Law · Business Law

I have served the Kansas City Metro area for over 30 years. If you have a legal concern regarding eminent domain, real estate or business law, I encourage you to call 816-461-4762 or contact me online to schedule a free consultation.

Eminent Domain

Many governments of the world, such as the Nazis, have a history of taking their citizens' property. The "takings clause" of the U.S. Constitution protects our citizens, saying that the government cannot take private property without giving "Just Compensation".

If you live in a place where the government, highway authority, power company or another entity wants to take your land, it is important to seek the help of an experienced lawyer. With over 30 years of experience, I have an understanding of eminent domain law and I will represent you in negotiations, legal filings, trials and appeals to protect your right to fair compensation.

Real Estate Law

Whether you need legal guidance regarding a real estate transaction, dispute or other matter, I have the experience you should have on your side in negotiations as well as in the courtroom. Please contact me if you have concerns regarding any of these real estate legal issues:

• Sales and acquisitions: negotiating contracts and sales agreements, completing title work, residential and commercial closings, and leases
• Real estate disputes: resolving conflicts regarding easements, property lines, adverse possession (squatting) or nuisance issues
• Access issues: drafting and enforcement of easements
• Real estate development: obtaining permits; dealing with zoning issues, subdivisions, condominium and cooperative associations, homeowners associations and restrictive covenants
• Construction concerns: drafting and reviewing contracts, obtaining and defending mechanic's liens and resolving defective construction disputes
• Problems with the government: codes, restrictions, property taxes
• Property damage: insurance, boundary disputes, neighbor disputes, nuisance issues

Business Law

With over 30 years of legal experience, I help business owners with their legal needs. If you are starting a new company, I will help you choose the right business formation to minimize your personal liability and provide the protection you need. I am also available to help you draft contracts of all kinds (including production contracts, employment contracts, buy/sell agreements, and issues involving government regulations), In addition, I can assist with leases and commercial real estate, and I will represent you in court if conflicts arise.
