I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

Mark not only send out a record request to the address specified, but also sent out additional requests at other possible business addresses to ensure the request was received. As a result, I finally received the information I was looking for. The firm was very professional to work with."

Commercial Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Commercial Real Estate

Purchase Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 31, 2023

Are purchase agreements confidential?

I recently made an offer to purchase a commercial property and the seller has asked me to sign a purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with the terms of the agreement and want to make sure that it is kept confidential. I am concerned about the potential for the details of the purchase agreement to be publicly disclosed and want to know if purchase agreements are confidential.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 14, 2023

I hope that you used the assistance of a WA State commercial real estate attorney to advise you in the writing and presentation of your offer to purchase a commercial property, as these can be extremely complicated. (Or, at the very least, I hope you were represented by an experienced and knowledgeable buyer's agent). To my knowledge, this type of PSA agreement is not required to be confidential unless you included that language in your offer. Please be aware that once the sale closes, the amount of the purchase price will be public information, in county records.

Commercial Lease

Massachusetts

Asked on Apr 24, 2023

Can the tenant sublease the property to another business?

I am a business owner and I am looking to rent a commercial space for my business. I am considering signing a commercial lease with the landlord, but I am concerned about my ability to sublease the property to another business. I am trying to determine whether this is an option that is available to me and what the implications would be.

Joseph M.

Answered May 12, 2023

In Massachusetts, a commercial tenant can sublet or even fully assign the unit to a third party - UNLESS there is a specific prohibition in the current lease. However, even if there is such a prohibition, it might still be worth speaking to the landlord about since it might be mutually beneficial.

Building Lease

Arizona

Asked on Jul 23, 2024

Can a landlord increase the rent on a commercial building lease without providing notice or justification?

I have been leasing a commercial building for my business for the past three years, and recently, my landlord informed me of a significant increase in the monthly rent. However, there was no prior notice or explanation given for this sudden increase, and I am concerned about the legality of such action. I want to know if the landlord has the right to raise the rent without providing any notice or justification, and what options I have to address this issue if it is indeed unfair or unlawful.

David U.

Answered Aug 13, 2024

In a vacuum, a landlord should not have a unilateral right to raise rent. A landlord may have the right to raise rents periodically, pursuant to the lease document. It is very much a contract issue. It depends on the exact wording of the lease agreement. The lease agreement will also detail the requirements for valid notification concerning the agreement. My experience over 25 years of practice is that most building lease agreements expressly provide for base rent to increase each year. A court will enforce most reasonable rental, escalation, clauses, and lease agreements. If there is no obvious language in the lease, the question becomes whether rental increase is implied under the wording of the document or an amendment to it. At the risk of being repetitive, it depends on what the lease says, if anything at all.

Commercial Building Lease

Florida

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

What's permitted use in a commercial lease?

I am in the process of negotiating a commercial lease for my business and I am interested in understanding the concept of "permitted use." Specifically, I am curious about what activities are allowed in the leased space and what limitations there may be. I would like to consult with a lawyer to ensure that the terms of the lease align with the needs of my business and that I am not at risk of violating any provisions.

Diane D.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

Permitted use means that you can only use it for the reason you rented it. For example, you cannot rent a place to use as a gym but then use it for a nightclub.

Addendum to Lease

Washington

Asked on Jun 12, 2024

Can a landlord add an addendum to a lease without the consent of the tenant?

I recently signed a lease for a commercial property, and now the landlord wants to add an addendum to the lease that includes additional fees and requirements that were not part of our original agreement. I believe that the addendum is unfair and would put an excessive burden on my business. However, the landlord claims that they have the right to make changes to the lease without my consent. I would like to know if the landlord can legally add an addendum to the lease without my agreement, and what options I have to protect my rights as a tenant in this situation.

Merry K.

Answered Jun 18, 2024

Generally speaking, one party to any sort of contract cannot amend any sort of contract unilaterally…however, review your lease very carefully to see if you granted the landlord any such rights when you signed your contract—for example, that the landlord could increase the rent if his property taxes or insurance increases.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
