During 2020, he provided timely guidance on eviction moratoriums, foreclosure trends, and HOA collection challenges as the market navigated unprecedented conditions.

His expertise extends to commercial leasing, where he has presented at the Florida Bar's Advanced Commercial Leasing Symposium on topics such as maintenance, repairs, and alterations. The Real Property and Probate Trust Section has featured his work on eviction procedures, demonstrating his practical knowledge of the complexities of landlord-tenant law.

Recent recognitions include being selected for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's 40 Under 40 Outstanding Lawyers list and Connect CRE's 2024 Florida & Gulf Coast Lawyers in Real Estate Award, which celebrates attorneys distinguished in both practice excellence and community service.
