Meet Dennis
My professional experience spans three decades and four areas of business.
During the first ten years of my career, I focused on obtaining an MBA in
finance and law degree from Fordham University while working at Chase
Manhattan Bank, successfully managing portfolios of stocks and bonds in
the Trust Investment Department of the Bank. I assisted in developing the
criteria for establishing a strategic planning department for high net worth
individuals.
A second area of focus began when I was engaged by a trust customer to
resolve issues with a large real estate parcel.
During the next twelve years, I was in private practice primarily involving real
estate development, small business corporations, and bankruptcy. That
background led to my recruitment by a real estate developer in Phoenix. Soon
I became an "in-house" counsel to that company, which acquired several
pools of properties from the Resolution Trust Corporation [RTC]. My
responsibilities involved the due diligence and research of 550 properties in
22 states. I coordinated the resolution of the myriad legal and financial issues
that the company faced in the real estate developments and purchase and
sale transactions.
From 1995 to 2001, I became involved in the legal and financial aspects of
developing large housing community projects in California and France, and
commercial real estate projects in South Korea and Thailand.
I then opened my own practice focusing on those areas where I have
developed particular skills of value to companies and high net worth
individuals. Based on that experience, my practice is focused on business
strategy and capitalization, real estate due diligence, acquisition and sale
transactions, venture capital investment reviews, corporate buy/sell
agreements, estate planning, and foreign real estate endeavors.
