About

I am an attorney with a unique background involving substantial and varied transactional and litigation experience. I focus my practice on advising owner-operated businesses and professional practices on day-to-day business matters, contracts, mergers and acquisitions and litigation and dispute resolution. I have developed a particular focus on dealing with high-dollar owner dispute, contract and commercial collection contingency litigation. In doing so, I employ an aggressive but flexible and creative approach, with an emphasis on proactive measures, early strategic thinking, and practical solutions. Specialties: Results-oriented hourly, contingency and hybrid billing litigation, focused on high-dollar disputes between owners, breach of contract matters and commercial collection. Advising entrepreneurs, including professional service providers and manufacturers, on day-to-day business matters, contract matters, contract and other disputes, business acquisitions and sales and other matters requiring personalized and practical advice. Advising and assisting discrete bank clients as well as borrowers with structuring of loans, negotiation of loan terms and, when difficulty arises, loan forbearance and collection. Working with real estate buyers, sellers and developers.

Darren's work on numerous business projects of which I and my firm have been a part has been outstanding. He possesses keen legal and business insights and provides strong, thoughtful and practical advice, balancing the ability to deliver the important legal work needed to accomplish the business needs, while never importantly losing sight of the end project objectives and goals, looking for, finding and implementing creative solutions to complex legal problems.

Darren helped me out on numerous occasions for both personal and professional issues. He was consistently energetic, honest, and very good at thinking "out of the box". He clearly had a superior grasp on the legal side of things, but took the time to explain them to me in "layman's terms", which I greatly appreciate. The outcome of several business situations turned out all favorable to myself and my partners. Even if they had not, I respect Darren's level of professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone that has the need. His creativity saved me a lot of money and I will call him again in the future, should the need arise.
