Because I’ve been a trial lawyer, a transactional attorney, and an in-house counsel, I offer a unique, broad-based perspective that helps my clients resolve their legal issues effectively and efficiently.
Real Estate
We provide our clients a practical, business perspective to help develop, manage, buy, sell, and refinance real estate. With experience ranging from raw land purchases to the sale of existing commercial properties to property management and common-interest communities, we help a wide range of clients achieve their goals quickly and efficiently.
Business
As former in-house lawyers for publicly-traded companies, we provide a sophisticated business perspective, efficient problem-solving, and proactive risk management, all at a reasonable cost. We handle your legal issues, so you can do what you do best: run your business.
Employment
We have extensive experience in all aspects of employment law. And, we are approachable. We make ourselves available for regular consultations, which helps our clients recognize and avoid potential problems before they occur. When problems do arise, we use our experience and bottom-line, business perspective to efficiently resolve disputes and minimize business disruptions. We help our clients stay current on evolving issues in the employment law arena and avoid the legal pitfalls, so that they can focus on their business.
Mediation
A NCDRC Certified Superior Court Mediator, Danae Woodward helps parties resolve their disputes with creative, mutually-acceptable solutions so they can avoid expensive legal fees and uncertain court outcomes and get on with their lives.
