Defending Your Rights
Because a strong business is built on a secure foundation.
As a former felony prosecutor and U.S. Army Military Policeman, I know that rights are only as secure as the strategy used to defend them. For new entrepreneurs and small business owners in Central Ohio, "Defending Your Rights" means ensuring your contracts, leases, and entity structures are bulletproof from day one. I don’t wait for a lawsuit to start defending you; I use my investigative experience to spot legal traps and regulatory hurdles before they can threaten what you are working to build.
Building Your Business
Proactive counsel for the operations that power our community.
Growth requires focus, and you can’t focus on your operations if you’re constantly putting out legal fires. This tier is designed for the high-capacity farms and manufacturing plants that need a mission-ready partner. Whether it’s navigating complex labor laws, OSHA/USDA compliance, or equipment financing, I act as your Outside General Counsel. My mission is to handle the legal "intel" and heavy lifting so you have the freedom to scale your business with confidence.
Protecting Your Legacy
Ensuring your life’s work stays in the family for the next 100 years.
Having assisted my father on our family farm, I understand that land isn’t just an asset—it’s an identity. "Protecting Your Legacy" is my highest-touch service, reserved for multi-generational families who want to ensure a seamless transition of wealth and values. We look beyond basic estate planning to create comprehensive succession strategies that protect your land from probate, tax leakage, and internal conflict. I’ve defended my country and my community; now, let me defend your family’s future.
This photo was taken in 2019, shortly after my father passed away. I was helping get the last of the crops off our family land. I know exactly what it feels like to carry the weight of a legacy while navigating the complexities of transition.
Today, our land is rented to neighbors, but the lessons of that harvest remain. I founded this firm’s 'Sentinel' model because I believe no Ohio family should have to worry about legal gaps when they are focused on their work or their family. My mission is to ensure that the transition from 'working the land' to 'protecting the legacy' is seamless, secure, and strategic.
Begin your Succession Roadmap by identifying potential gaps in your family or business protection. This initial step allows us to see the field clearly before we meet.
