Meet Our Team

Sydney E. Parfet

For me practicing law is about working with people to help them accomplish their goals through estate planning, real estate purchases and business planning.  I strive to listen to the client, explore options that are best suited for each individual client and then work with that client to implement a plan that comes with intent and purpose.

Jordan R. Schau

My practice focuses primarily on business and real estate matters, including the sale and acquisition of businesses and commercial real estate, corporate governance, employer and employee matters, business disputes, commercial leases, contracts, and shareholder/business owner matters. I enjoy helping business people and their employees accomplish their goals. Ideally, I help our clients stay out of trouble by paying attention to detail.  When problems do arise, my goal is to help our clients resolve their problem in the most beneficial and economical manner possible.
