Overview
Oscar assists clients ranging from large, publicly traded corporations to local and regional entities with disputes arising from all aspects of their operations, including construction (lien and bond claims, defects, contract disputes), land use development, and complex commercial litigation.
In his daily practice, Oscar works to identify his clients’ specific business objectives, proactively resolving disputes while protecting both finances and reputations.
