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.
"I contacted Parachini Law after I had sent multiple unanswered information requests a third party. 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
Construction Agreement
Texas
Can a construction contractor terminate a construction agreement without cause?
I recently entered into a construction agreement with a contractor to renovate my commercial property. However, the contractor has been consistently behind schedule and the quality of work has been subpar. I am concerned about the progress of the project and the contractor's ability to complete it satisfactorily. I would like to know if the contractor has the right to terminate the construction agreement without cause, or if I have any legal recourse to hold them accountable for their performance and potentially terminate the agreement myself.
Lorraine C.
That situation sounds frustrating, to be sure. The termination rights of both parties should have been clearly defined in the construction agreement. It would be best for you to have an experienced transactional attorney review the contract terms and discuss the issues you are having so that you can receive advice specific to your situation. Regardless, I highly recommend that you document any quality of work or performance issues in writing and with pictures, if applicable. That way, if you do decide to terminate the contract later (with an attorney's guidance), you will have the proof you may need to support your claim.

Real Estate Lease Agreement
Illinois
What is the best type of commercial lease?
I am a landlord and am wanting to consider which types of commercial lease agreements I would want to use. I own a small strip mall and am looking to sign tenants that would be retailers.
T. Phillip B.
Much of that depends on the tenant and the agreement they are willing to enter into. Personally, I would want my tenants responsible for as much of the maintenance and upkeep of the property as possible. The same goes with the property taxes. You could calculate out what property taxes are / would be per square foot and allocate to them which will permit you to adjust rent annually to accomodate changes in the property taxes.

Can the tenant make changes to the property's signage?
I am looking to rent a commercial property for my business and have recently come across a potential property. The lease agreement states that the tenant is not allowed to make any changes to the property's signage. I am interested in understanding if there are any exceptions to this rule and if the tenant can make changes to the signage.
Michael C.
Standard commercial lease template includes language about the nature and extent of modifications tenants can make to a property. In this instance, there's no legal or regulatory exception that is going to protect you from a restriction in the lease. Your best bet is to negotiate directly with the landlord for a modification to the lease terms.

Office Space Lease
New York
Can a landlord terminate an office space lease before the agreed-upon term ends?
I recently signed a lease agreement for office space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I may need to relocate sooner than anticipated. I want to know if the landlord has the right to terminate the lease before the agreed-upon term ends, and if so, what are the potential consequences for me as the tenant? I am concerned about any financial penalties or obligations that may arise from terminating the lease early.
Damien B.
A landlord could agree to terminate the lease if a tenant requests it or can modify a lease to allow for an option for a tenant to vacate the premises at an earlier date. If a tenant wants to vacate the premises on an earlier date than the lease end date, either the landlord would have to agree to the earlier termination date or the tenant could be found in breach of contract. If you are considering early termination, it's advisable to communicate with the landlord to explore possible solutions, such as subleasing, assigning the lease, or negotiating a modification to the lease agreement. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions about this.
Commercial Real Estate
Finance Lease
Georgia
What are the legal implications of entering into a finance lease agreement?
I am considering entering into a finance lease agreement for a commercial property, and I would like to understand the legal implications before making a decision. I have been approached by a leasing company that is offering favorable terms, such as lower upfront costs and fixed monthly payments, but I am uncertain about the potential risks and responsibilities involved. I want to ensure that I am fully aware of my legal obligations and rights under a finance lease agreement before proceeding.
Jerome L.
Hi there, A finance lease agreement can be a practical way to acquire commercial property or equipment with lower upfront costs and fixed payments—but it comes with specific legal obligations and long-term commitments that you should fully understand before signing. Here are the key legal implications to consider: Legal Considerations in a Finance Lease Agreement: Binding Long-Term Obligation: A finance lease is typically non-cancellable during the lease term, meaning you are legally obligated to make payments for the entire duration, even if you no longer need the property. Ownership vs. Use: You do not own the property under a finance lease. You are leasing it for an extended period, often with an option to purchase at the end. However, all the risks and responsibilities of ownership—like maintenance, insurance, and taxes—may still fall on you. Lessor’s Ownership Rights: The leasing company retains title to the property during the lease term. If you default, they typically have the right to repossess the property and pursue you for any remaining balance. Fixed Monthly Payments (But Watch for Hidden Costs): While the fixed payments seem attractive, be sure to review: Interest rates Late fees or penalties Additional service charges or fees tied to property upkeep End-of-Term Options: Understand your rights at the end of the lease: Can you buy the property? Are there residual value payments? Will you owe fees for wear-and-tear or restoration? Termination & Default Clauses: Read the fine print on what constitutes default and whether the lessor can accelerate payments or take legal action if you miss a payment. Impact on Financial Statements: A finance lease may appear as a liability on your balance sheet, depending on how the lease is structured. It’s wise to consult with an accountant on this point too. Before moving forward, I highly recommend having the lease agreement reviewed by an attorney. This will ensure the terms are fair, your risks are understood, and you are fully protected. If you would like assistance reviewing or negotiating the terms of your finance lease, I am happy to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Commercial Lease & Business Contracts Attorney
