I concentrate my practice on business and real estate transactions and disputes, with a particular fondness for working with international clients.
From 2017 to 2019, I lived and worked as the senior counsel in the Middle East, where I advised C-suite executives on quarter-billion-dollar PPP projects. My clients are typically either small to medium-size businesses or individuals, U.S. residents conducting business overseas or foreign nationals investing in the U.S. I have handled international business transactions across Canada, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Additionally, I represent clients in federal court, having been admitted to several federal courts and a federal trial bar in the U.S. Importantly, I enjoy learning about my clients' businesses to understand how to effectively represent his/her interests.
On a personal note, I have lived or spent extended periods in various parts of the world including Riyadh, Ukraine, Italy, France, Cyprus, and Mexico City, among other remarkable places. It's always a wonderful experience to meet my clients in person for the first time, often long after I've started representing them, simply because our paths have crossed in their locale. I can confidently say that I love to travel. Additionally, I am an avid pickleball player. I try to be on the courts every morning starting at 7 am, unless I am scheduled for a conference call or a court hearing.

- Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
- King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center
- Saudi Arabia passed its first law against sexual harassment in 2018. KFSH&RC, a highly international organization, took the initiative to cover this important topic for its diverse workforce. Putting together a presentation on such a sensitive subject for people from various cultural and religious backgrounds was complex and delicate task. The fact that the presentation was well-received by both executives and employees from around 100 countries is a testament to the success of this initiative.

- Q. I have been paying my 36 year owner financed mortgage by mail for 35 and a half years. I have 6 monthly payments left.
- A: How did you "buy" this home? Typically, title transfers on the day of closing and then you pay monthly payments on a mortgage where your home is treated as collateral for the mortgage. But you own your home from the very beginning. Unless this was a lease contract with option to buy, then you need to exercise your option.
I think you should consult with an attorney to review your documents and advise properly, otherwise we'll all be just guessing what is happening in your situation.
Good luck.
- Q. Civil litigation on a real estate lis pendon case
- A: There is no way anyone can sift through this on this platform and provide legal guidance.
Please note that a lawyer at the title company is not your lawyer, so that s/he does not represent you and does not have your best interest in mind. Certainly, you must retain your own lawyer to figure all this out.
Good luck.
- Q. Can my attorney threaten me with fees for asking questions about the case?
- A: Lawyers get paid for the time spent, any and all time, whether it is speaking with a client or thinking about their case or typing out a legal brief. Sounds like your lawyer does not believe he'll get paid for his time, just guessing here. The fact that you think he did nothing and your retainer has been exhausted shows the disconnect between what you think is billable time and what is, in fact, billable.
