Practice Summary

I am the author of Here's the Deal: Everything You Wish a Lawyer Would Tell You About Buying a Small Business. I receive numerous inquiries each month from people throughout the USA who have read my book and want me to represent them in the purchase or sale of a small business ($5 million purchase price and below). I am looking for attorneys in states outside of Virginia to whom I can refer these projects. I have over 30 years of experience helping start, operate, buy, and sell small businesses. As a result of my experience and my book, I am recognized as an authority on buying and selling small businesses. I am interested in helping your clients as the lead counsel on projects in Virginia or as a co-counsel in other states.
