Residential work is the whole focus.
Residential Rights Legal Counsel is intentionally narrow: housing, not everything under the sun. That focus keeps the work practical, fast, and aligned with what actually matters to you day-to-day.
You're not a case file on a stack. You're someone whose home, credit, and mental bandwidth are impacted by a single document or email you aren't sure how to handle. The work is built around that reality.
Fixed-fee, scoped work.
You know the fee and the deliverables before you pay. No "meter is running" anxiety, no surprise invoices.
Plain-language explanations.
Legal nuance where it matters, plain English everywhere else. You should be able to explain your options to a friend.
Strategy, not just paperwork.
Drafts and letters are paired with a strategy memo: why this approach, what to expect, and when to consider the next level.
