I'm a business and estate planning attorney with more 20 years of experience. I started in private practice and as a prosecutor, then spent years as in-house counsel for an international oil and gas company. Today I run Flex Legal Services in Orem, Utah, where I draft and negotiate contracts, handle business transactions, and serve as fractional general counsel for companies that want steady legal guidance without a full-time hire. I also help families put practical estate plans in place. I'm licensed in Utah, and I speak English and Spanish.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School. Upon graduation, I went to McDermott, Will & Emery in Chicago and practiced corporate, real estate and tax law. I then joined Godfrey & Kahn where I became a shareholder in the real estate group, head of real estate lending and continued to practice corporate law. At these firms, I received excellent training and represented some of the largest and most innovative clients in the US. After practicing law for 15 years, I founded a real estate development company. I built a multi-million dollar company and developed many significant projects. I sold the company and was recruited for senior positions by two other real estate companies. I continued to hone my legal skills at these companies by negotiating and drafting countless documents for my businesses. The combination of my legal and business experience helps me foster the growth of clients' businesses, solve their problems and guide them through difficult matters.

Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Net Lease
Georgia
Can a tenant terminate a net lease agreement before the end of the term?
I am currently leasing a commercial property under a net lease agreement, where I am responsible for paying rent as well as a share of property expenses such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my business is struggling and I am considering terminating the lease before the agreed-upon term ends. I am unsure if this is legally possible under a net lease and I need clarification on my rights and any potential consequences or penalties involved in terminating the lease early.
Thomas D.
Unless the landlord failed to maintain the property or failed to abide by other terms of the lease, the tenant cannot normally terminate a lease early. I would need to review the lease. Tom

Commercial Lease
Texas
Should I use a lawyer for commercial lease?
It is a very long lease and I'm not sure what it says. I also don't want to pay a fortune to have it reviewed to eat into my budget.
George O.
Yes! Before signing any contract/agreement/lease, or anything that appears to be a binding agreement, it is worth the money to have a lawyer review it. I charge a flat fee to review any and all agreements, so my clients know up front what they are paying, and they consider it a cost of doing business. The alternative, i.e. not having a lawyer review your agreements prior to signing, can be, and usually is, exponentially more expensive should a conflict arise (and they often do).

HVAC Contract
New York
Can I terminate an HVAC contract if the contractor fails to complete the agreed-upon work within the specified timeframe?
I hired a contractor to install a new HVAC system in my home, and we signed a contract that stated the work would be completed within four weeks. However, it has been three months, and the contractor has not finished the installation. Despite numerous promises and excuses, there has been no progress made, and I am growing increasingly frustrated. Can I terminate this HVAC contract due to the contractor's failure to meet the agreed-upon timeframe?
Arthur S.
Simple answer...yes. The failure of the contractor to timely complete performance through no fault of the homeowner can be the basis for termination of the contract. Of course, the terms of the contract will control on this subject. It is customary for contracts to require that a written notice be provided by the homeowner to the contractor setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and scope of the default by the contractor and requiring that the default be cured within a state time period following delivery of the notice...failing which, the homeowner will be entitled to terminate the contract and, in certain instances, seek recovery of damages by reason of such default..

Property Sale Agreement
Ohio
What are the legal implications of including an 'as-is' clause in a Property Sale Agreement?
I am in the process of selling a property, and I am considering including an 'as-is' clause in the Sale Agreement to protect myself from any potential liability for defects or issues with the property that may arise after the sale is complete. However, I am unsure of the legal implications of such a clause and whether it would truly absolve me of any responsibility. I would like to understand the potential risks and benefits of including this clause from a legal perspective before finalizing the agreement.
Gary S.
Hello and thank you for the opportunity to respond to this very important question. First, an "as is" clause in a Property Sale Agreement shifts the risk to the buyer. The burden of due diligence is shifted to the buyer and the property is being sold in its current condition, with no warranties or representations about the property's condition. In this way, the seller's liability is limited, as the seller is generally not liable for defects, even hidden ones, that the buyer could have discovered through a reasonable inspection. However, the seller's limited liability does not apply if the seller actively conceals a defect. Also, in Ohio, when selling "as is", the seller still has a duty to disclose, and not fraudulently misrepresent, known material defects. Failing to do so can lead to breach of contract, fraud claims, rescission of sale, and potential damages. Ultimately, when property is sold "as is", the buyer is expected to conduct inspections and investigations and negotiate repair terms or price reductions. Further, selling "as is" may affect the ability to finance the sale and/or insure the property, depending on the condition of the property. It is also important to note that courts tend to scrutinize the exact wording of the "as is" clause, and a broad, well-drafted clause will offer stronger protection to the seller.

You should consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your situation.
