I am a business lawyer with 48 years experience in real estate, loan workouts, bankruptcy, estate planning, probate administration and litigation, elder law, environmental law, corporate law, foreclosures, and business planning, formation and litigation. I am frequently involved in complex commercial real estate projects, as developer counsel, lender counsel, or as bankruptcy counsel. As debtor's counsel I have guided 3 large, complex chapter 11 bankruptcy cases to successful confirmation, each involving complicated real estate issues. I have worked on timesharing/fractional ownership projects and condominium hotel projects. I advise property owner associations. I also have an active practice helping individuals, families and small businesses with estate planning, probate administration and litigation, elder law, business planning and bankruptcy needs. I help clients in the LGBT community with their special needs and have spoken to various groups about issues important to the LGBT community. I help people start, expand and sell new businesses. I have qualified 10 times as an expert witness in real estate (restrictive covenants, deeds, easements, commercial leases, real estate closings and real estate attorneys' standard of care) in state and federal courts. I am an approved Circuit Court Mediator in South Carolina. My office is in Myrtle Beach, but I also help clients in North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Little River, Loris, Calabash, Carolina Shores, Carolina Forest, Pawleys Island, Georgetown, Litchfield Beach and Murrells Inlet, and in other parts of Horry County, Georgetown County, and Brunswick County.
