Since then, the firm has evolved into something more than a property tax boutique. We have opened up our practice areas to include all aspects of Real Estate Law, Estate Planning, Business Strategy and Digital Media.

In 2001, Mr. Lubin co-founded a tech startup and worked with Apple Computer to build a company from start-up to sale after establishing revenues in excess of $30 million/year.
