Most business attorneys understand the law. Corey understands the business too. He holds an MBA alongside his law degree, which means he can read an income statement, analyze a balance sheet, and understand what is actually at stake in a dispute before a single document is filed. He grew up working in his family's restaurants, so he knows what it means to build something and what it feels like when that is threatened. That background shapes how he approaches every business case he takes on.
Business law matters Corey handles include:
• Partner and shareholder disputes
• Contract review, drafting, and breach of contract claims
• Business litigation and discovery
• Liability disputes and personal guarantee exposure
• Business bankruptcy and debt restructuring
• Negotiated settlements and out-of-court resolutions
My business partner and I are in a dispute. What are my options?
Negotiation is usually the fastest and least expensive path. Corey evaluates the strength of your position, the documents at issue, and whether litigation is necessary or a negotiated resolution makes more sense.
Can I be held personally liable for my business's debts?
It depends on how the business is structured and whether you signed personal guarantees. Corey reviews your specific situation and advises on both business and personal exposure.
When does a business dispute need to go to court?
When there is significant money or property at stake and the other side is not negotiating in good faith. Corey has conducted targeted discovery in complex business cases and knows when litigation is the right tool.
In most business disputes, negotiation is the smartest first move. It reduces risk, costs less, and gets to a resolution faster than litigation. Corey approaches every business matter by understanding the strength of your position, the documents at issue, and what the other side actually wants. From there, he works to find the most efficient path to a result that protects your interests. Not every dispute needs to go to court, and pushing toward settlement when it makes sense saves clients significant time and money.
Some cases have to go to court. When there is significant money or property at stake and the other side is not acting in good faith, litigation is the right tool. Corey has conducted targeted discovery in complex business cases, building the evidentiary record needed to win. In one recent case, he used focused discovery to demonstrate that his client was not a partner to a business and therefore not liable for the claims against it. Knowing how to build that case strategically, from the right documents to the right arguments, is what separates effective business litigation from expensive guesswork.
Corey's MBA gives him an advantage most attorneys do not have. He understands income statements, balance sheets, and the financial reality behind a dispute, not just the legal arguments. He also understands who the parties are and what each side is trying to protect, which is critical in business cases where the relationship between the parties matters as much as the contract. Whether you are a small business owner or running a larger operation, Corey brings the same level of attention to the details that actually decide the outcome.
