I started working as an attorney at Gill Ragon Owen, P.A. after clerking there during law school. Our law firm works with all types of businesses to assist with transaction and litigation needs. I work with businesses on contract drafting/review and regulatory compliance. I primarily focus on labor and employment, commercial lending and real estate, health care regulatory compliance and nonprofit law. I counsel clients, locally and nationally, in an array of business matters.
