Real estate development law, written with care.

I'm a real estate development attorney. I represent developers, institutional investors, and operating partners on the deals that put ground under buildings — entitlements, joint ventures, acquisitions, financings. This is where I publish the field notes from that work, and, separately, the grimdark fantasy I write in the hours that belong to me.
