When dealing with the issues presented in real estate projects, he draws on experience acquired from working with attorneys, developers, lenders, investment bankers, city officials, and other professionals throughout the country and particularly in the greater Kansas City area.

Charlie provides conventional real estate legal services as well as structuring and obtaining government approvals on a variety of development incentives and financing including tax increment financing, bonds, tax abatement, state supplemental tax increment financing, community improvement districts, transportation development districts, other assessment districts and tax credits.
