Practice Areas

My practice was inspired by my research into property that had been held by my family since 1871 without clear title. This type of property is known as "heirs property" and disproportionately affects the poor, who have limited access to legal help and are often distrustful of systems and institutions. Through my work experience, I have covered issues involving commercial property, residential property, and intellectual property. Contact me to see how I can help you with your legal issues.
