Catching Up

I always say that if you’re attorney isn’t busy then he probably isn’t a good attorney.  I’ll go with that as the reason (excuse?) for my long absence in posting on my Patch blog.

In my defense, it’s not like I’ve been sitting around doing nothing.  Besides handling various client matters – which Patch readers will one day soon appreciate as I’m hard at work with a new crop of Minnesota craft breweries (and a distillery) – I’ve been seen and heard a bit in the last two months. 

My September Legal Minutes for the Real Estate Radio Hour (heard Saturdays on WCCO 830 am) focused on various aspects of contracts for deed and purchase agreements.  October’s segments focused on land use issues such as zoning, comprehensive plans and subdivision regulations (here’s where I insert my disclaimer about being on the Albertville Planning & Zoning Commission and the information contained in said Legal Minutes are my opinions and not the City’s, etc., etc….)

Wearing my business lawyer hat, I jumped on The Business Forum Show last week with my good friend, Kevin Hunter, to talk about choice of entity and written contracts.

And last, but not least, my ugly mug made the StarTribune, talking about everyone’s favorite topic, taxes (more particularly, the difficulty in escaping Minnesota’s taxes).

I’ll be back soon with more exciting legal information; I promise!
