Religious Corporation Representation

- Formation of a non-profit corporation
- Qualification for tax-exempt status
- Creation of organization documents

I have a long track record of obtaining successful results for my clients. My broad base of legal knowledge allows me see the "big picture" in regard to religious corporation and church law matters. I have litigated in court several disputes involving religious corporations. See Singh vs. Singh, 114 Cal. App 4th 1264.
Appointed Special Master and Arbitrator
I have been appointed by the Alameda County Superior Court as a Special Master to supervise court ordered elections. I have also been appointed as an arbitrator to decide a religious organization dispute.
Resolving Disputes Within Religious Corporations
One way in which an experienced attorney can help a religious institution is by resolving disputes within the organization. I have successfully resolved numerous disputes between members of different religious organizations and between members of single organizations. If you feel that your rights as a member of a church, mosque, synagogue, temple or other religious entity are being violated, I can help you seek appropriate legal remedies.
