For over 40 years I have been a commercial generalist working as a sole  practitioner, a partner and or an associate in various law firms  throughout the State of New Jersey. I have handled business matters  running the gamut from antitrust problems to zoning. I have consummated  over 50 sales/mergers of businesses, over 500 loan workouts, documented  100’s of complex loans and drafted everything from joint ventures for  international commerce to basic executive compensation agreements.  Software licenses with OEM’s , marketing and distribution agreements and  consulting contracts for custom software design are all within the  realm of my experience. I have tried dozens of cases in state and  federal court of every kind and nature and have specialized in the  creative solution of commercial problems. I have endeavored to create a  “Wall Street Product” from a modest office focusing on timely response  to client demands and personal attention. Working without associates I  have been responsible for virtually all aspects of client work demands  and have successfully handled everything in the commercial sphere except  patent work.
