Whether you're a real estate investor or agent, a shopkeeper, a contractor, a wholesaler, or any other kind of small business owner, you need an accessible legal adviser to guide you through the mine fields of laws and litigation which constantly surround you. If you zig when you should have zagged, you can get zapped.

Dave Guinan is an entrepreneur at heart who has been practicing law since 1972.
