Overview

Neil Meyer focuses his practice in the areas of business representation, commercial real estate and estate planning.  His business clients span the gamut of start ups to established multi-state corporations, advising them on acquisitions, sales, and everything in between. Commercial real estate clients include purchasers and sellers of multifamily housing, commercial buildings, refinancing of properties and repurposing of shopping malls.  Families and individuals have had Neil help plan their estates and protect their assets.
