His background and expertise has been related primarily to real property law. For the first 20 years or so of his career, his practice involved handling a large volume of residential and commercial property closings. For the first 30 years or so, 50% or more of his practice involved prosecuting mortgage foreclosure suits for various lenders. This foreclosure practice was state-wide. More recently, the practice has seen fewer closings and plaintiff-side foreclosures. His involvement in real estate closings is now limited to commercial loans, and his involvement in mortgage foreclosures involves representing defendants as often as representing plaintiffs.
