I was driving north on Route 85 out of Atlanta, heading to the Novice to Advanced Marketing Systems (NAMS) conference last week. In the grey drizzle. During rush hour. Lured into complacency by the GPS, with its occasional squawks of: “One hundred meters, stay left.” Suddenly, a “fatal error” occurred. No, not with the car—with the GPS.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.
With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.
And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.
I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
