Andrew J. Pratt

     Pinnacle Real Estate Law Group is a regional boutique real estate law firm committed to providing legal services of the highest quality.  Our firm does not strive to be “everything to everyone”.  Instead, we focus exclusively on real estate matters and ancillary legal services, such as business and financing.  Real estate law is constantly changing and evolving, which requires a combination of legal skills, experience and practical knowledge.  While having a superior knowledge of real estate law is essential, understanding the complexities of working with local jurisdictions, processing governmental permits and properly addressing opposition and concerns is invaluable. 

     Craig Jones has over 25 years of dedicated experience in real estate and land use law with larger regional law firms and also as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of a publicly traded timber and real estate development company.  This experience, coupled with a law firm environment that is congenial, focused and attentive, instills confidence in our Clients and allows us to develop creative, efficient and cost-effective strategies to best serve their needs.
