What We Do

At Alterman Law Group, we offer a wide range of legal services to our clients.

Real Estate

We advise owners and developers of commercial, industrial, and multifamily real estate. Our attorneys are experienced in drafting, negotiating, and reviewing leases and sale agreements, representing commercial borrowers, forming entities to own and operate investment real estate, and enforcing leases when necessary.

Business

We advise a wide range of private businesses, from small enterprises to firms with hundreds of employees and annual sales approaching $100 million. Our business clients seek our counsel on employment matters, business contracts, real estate needs, buying other businesses, and selling the business or transitioning ownership to the next generation of family or key employees.

Land Use

We help our clients to apply for and receive land use permits, both at public hearings and in negotiations with the city or county beforehand. Our lawyers have helped clients obtain and extend land use permits for subdivisions, resort expansions, sand dune grading, and special-use permits.

Estate Planning

We design and implement estate plans for our clients to transfer wealth to following generations, maintaining the integrity of the family businesses and investments that created the wealth. Our lawyers have also advised business owners whose relatives do not want to carry on the business to transfer ownership to key employees while preserving the value of the owners' hard work for their families.

At Alterman Law Group, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of legal services. We are dedicated to understanding our clients' needs and goals and to finding creative, effective solutions to their legal issues. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you.
