Strategic Legal Counsel for Developers, Brokers & Investors
Trusted Guidance for Every Phase of Real Estate Law Contact MichaelPractical Legal Solutions for Real Estate Professionals
Real estate development isn’t just about vision. It’s about execution that requires more than just financing and planning. You need a legal partner who understands the stakes, anticipates regulatory hurdles, and helps you move forward efficiently.
At EMH Law, I work directly with developers, investors, and real estate professionals, navigating the complexities of land use, zoning compliance, homeowners’ associations (HOAs), condominium management, and complex transactions. With over 33 years of experience, I’ve advised clients across the Mountain West on everything from neighborhood developments to mixed-use projects and complex redevelopment initiatives.
You get strategic legal support that minimizes risk, accelerates resolutions, and keeps every project on track, from entitlements to HOA restructuring.
Real Challenges. Legal Solutions.
Have you run into these common challenges in real estate law?
Land Use and Zoning Delays
Entitlements, zoning overlays, and code conflicts can slow or completely stall your development timeline. We streamline your path to approval by interpreting the legal landscape and addressing your concerns.
HOA and Condo Governance Issues
By rewriting outdated bylaws and resolving internal disputes, we help communities operate effectively.
Real Estate Contract Conflicts
Earnest money disputes, deal contingencies, and failed closings can quickly turn into litigation. We help you negotiate contracts with clarity and resolve conflicts fast to avoid costly delays.
Construction Disputes
Disagreements between developers, builders, and financiers are all too common. We represent your interests to resolve construction conflicts efficiently without derailing your project.
Structuring and Risk Management
We help you structure your development or reorganize existing associations with services that include entity creation, document drafting, and risk management aligned with your project’s goals.

Strategic, Efficient Legal Guidance
When timing, compliance, and capital are on the line, you need more than a generalist. I bring decades of specialized real estate law experience to the table, offering actionable legal advice that moves your project forward.

I manage the entire process. This includes research, risk analysis, document preparation, and filings. With a single point of contact, you achieve faster progress and a consistent strategy.
Solutions That Prioritize Your Goals
Every project presents legal questions, gray areas, and challenging decisions. I take the time to understand what matters most to you and shape legal strategies around your priorities.
Some clients need to close deals quickly. Others are focused on restructuring outdated associations or avoiding costly litigation. Whatever the goal, my approach is built to support your success and protect your investment at every stage.
