Over the time of his practice, Mr. Endres has owned and participated as counsel for more than four hundred thousand square feet of commercial property and multiple businesses, giving him first-hand experience that has proven invaluable in the handling of client business and real estate matters. His practice includes, but is not limited to, real estate and business purchase and sale contracts, 1031 exchanges, commercial property leasing (representing both landlords and tenants), business entity structuring and operation, partition and dissolution of real estate ownership and businesses, landlord/tenant dispute resolutions, property management representation, development and construction advising, loan acquisition consultation and issue resolution, and much more in the worlds of real estate and business.
An integral part of any law practice involves dispute resolution. For ten years of his early practice, Mr. Endres was primarily a full-time litigator with a caseload of federal and state litigation matters of various types. This litigation experience has led to a deep belief that litigation should be viewed as a last resort. He understands that litigation is very expensive, slow, frustrating and uncertain. For this reason, Mr. Endres is committed to making his best efforts to keep his clients out of litigation, where possible anticipating issues that may lead to disputes, or finding a creative, cost-effective resolution to an active dispute.
