Signing a Lease Agreement without having a licensed attorney review it first might be a mistake.
Commercial Leases are often far more complicated than a personal lease, and there are many factors that could cause significant distress for both tenant and landlord. Nowland Law is experienced at the review, drafting, and negotiation of Commercial Leases.
