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.

Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Obligations after receiving a quitclaim deed?
I recently purchased a home in a different state from the seller. The seller provided me with a quitclaim deed, but I am unsure of what my obligations are now that I own the property. I am concerned about potential legal issues that may arise and want to make sure I am taking the proper steps to protect both myself and the seller.
Bobby H.
Provided you have fully paid the purchase price, you should not have any further obligations as it relates to the Seller. This, however, may depend on whether there are specific terms in the sales agreement that survive the closing. Although your obligations as the new owner of the property to other persons largely depends on the state, in most, if not all states, you will be responsible for paying any taxes or assements to the state, county, or any municipality in which the propery is located subject to any qualifying exemptions. Also, most states impose a general duty on propery owners to avoid and/or discover and warn of certain risks of harm to any guests or persons invited by you to be present on the property depending on how the property is used (e.g., like whether the property is used for residential or commerical purposes). In some states, there may even be a similar, although limited duty to avoid or warn of certain risks of harm to trespassers on the property. A home or property owner's insurance policy will likely provide some protection with respect to the latter. Additionall, a quitclaim deed generally does not provide any protection for the purchaser if there's an issue with the title to the property. Therefore, an owner's title insurance policy may be advisable if you have not already obtained one.

Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Can a quitclaim deed be used to transfer ownership of a property without the consent of all parties involved?
I recently discovered that my ex-spouse, without my knowledge or consent, used a quitclaim deed to transfer our jointly owned property solely into their name. We had agreed to sell the property and split the proceeds, but they have now refused to do so, claiming full ownership. I would like to know if a quitclaim deed can be valid in this situation and if I have any legal recourse to regain my share of the property.
Jon F.
No. You would need to have every owner sign away on their ownership. There is no way to divest people of their property without them knowing absent some kind of fraud. The quitclaim deed doing what you described in the way you described it can be challenged and should be challenged successfully.
Landlord Tenant
Residential Lease Agreement
New York
Pets and residential lease agreements?
I am a tenant in a residential property and I am considering adopting a pet. The lease agreement does not specifically mention anything about having pets in the residence. I am looking to understand the legal implications of having a pet in the rental property and what my rights are as a tenant in this situation.
Paola R.
It depends on the type of premises(building) you reside. There are specific laws that are applicable even if the lease does not mention certain terms and provisions. Your rights as a tenant not only arise from the lease but also from certain laws. It also depends on the type of pet you are thinking of adopting, ie. service animal. I am a tenant’s attorney.

Real Estate Purchase Agreement
New York
Can the seller back out of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement after signing it?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and have signed a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with the seller. However, the seller has recently expressed some concerns about the sale and is considering backing out. I am uncertain about the legal implications in this situation and would like to know if the seller has the right to do so after signing the agreement.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. A seller's ability to back out of a real estate purchase agreement after signing it is generally very limited, as contracts for the sale of real estate are legally binding once both parties sign it. The seller's ability to back out typically depends on the specific contingencies outlined in the agreement. For instance, if the contract includes a contingency that hasn't been satisfied (e.g., the buyer's financing falls through), the seller may have grounds to terminate. You may want an attorney to review the Agreement to see whether there is a potential breach of contract claim. Feel free to reach out.

Real Estate Sale Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a seller back out of a Real Estate Sale Agreement after signing it?
I recently entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement with a seller to purchase a property. However, a few days after signing the agreement, the seller expressed their desire to back out of the deal. They claim that they received a better offer from another buyer. I'm wondering if the seller has the right to do this, or if I have any legal recourse to enforce the agreement and proceed with the purchase of the property.
Moss S.
It all depends on the contingencies that are contained in the agreement. Some of those contingencies include an inspection, financing, title defects and more. I would have to review the agreement to let you know precisely what rights that you have to terminate the transaction.
